Hello! This edition of the Square Peg Promotions arts calendar includes
color-coded entries for this week’s music concerts, theatre, dance, written
and spoken word gatherings, and visual arts events happening in Stark County
and several surrounding areas. Community events that defy categorization are
included in bold, black font.
To check out this FULL calendar by category (music, theatre, dance, word,
visual arts, and “beyond category”) through 2008, go to our MySpace page on
the internet at:
www.myspace.com/squarepegpromotions. Each category has its own blog entry on
that site. If you don’t see the category you’re looking for, just click
“view all blog entries,” and that’ll take you to see all current blogs. Just
click on the category you’re looking for, and you’ll get a list of ONLY the
events in that category, with up-to-the-minute postings currently dating
through late 2008.
Because we received responses that were overwhelmingly in favor of keeping
this traditional emailed version of the newsletter, you’ll continue to
receive it this way, as well.
Thank you so much for the support and feedback. Have a wonderful week.

Charge by phone at Weathervane’s Ticket Office at 330-836-2626 or purchase

This production has just two characters, Michael and Agnes, an upper-class
couple who marry in 1898. We follow them through the next 50 years in a
musical scrapbook of warm, funny, whimsical, poignant and otherwise adorable
songs. Michael writes women’s romance novels. He can be self-deprecating,
but we know he takes himself pretty seriously. He is hardly a thoughtful or
sensitive husband, but he is devoted to Agnes. As for Agnes, she
occasionally hints at revolt from the conventions that restrict her but,
ultimately, she is content to be a forgiving wife. The show’s best-known
song, My Cup Runneth Over, makes a beautiful cap to an argument.
The Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to
encourage economic growth, education excellence and cultural enrichment for
all Ohioans. Additional Season Sponsors: WKSU, Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company. www.weathervaneplayhouse.com <http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com/>

Midwest Visions of Impressionism Exhibit
Massillon Museum (“MassMu”), 121 Lincoln Way East, downtown Massillon 44646
The Massillon Museum’s new second-floor exhibition, “The New Face of
Watercolor: A Conversation with the Past,” matches ten works of art from
the Museum’s permanent collection with ten contemporary watercolor paintings
by Nancy Stewart Matin. The exhibition is now open and will continue through
October of this year.
Nancy Stewart Matin, a North Canton resident, is a signature member of the
Ohio Watercolor Society, and her work resides in the permanent collections
of several Stark County institutions including the Massillon Museum, North
Canton Library, and the Canton Museum of Art, where she serves on the board
of trustees.
The artist participated in the Massillon Museum’s “Adaptations” exhibition
in 2006. She will demonstrate her painting technique at the Museum on
Sunday, August 19, between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m., in conjunction with the
closing of the “Midwestern Visions of Impressionism: 1890-1930” exhibition.
A $5 admission fee to the painting demonstrations (also featuring Brian
Robinson) will entitle guests to an opportunity to win a painting.
A self-taught artist, Nancy Stewart Matin uses a "pour” technique, a process
by which watercolor paint is mixed thinly with water and then poured through
various filters.
”Watercolor has come a long way since days gone by,” says Matin. “It was
considered a study for serious painting to be created in oils, of course.”
She explains that artists are no longer purists, using only transparent
watercolor paints. “We now paint in ‘water media,’ also employing gouache
(an opaque watercolor paint) and acrylic (whose origin is plastic. She says
this takes nothing from the art of the past. “We are what we are because of
what came before us. We have simply chosen another path: flinging, pouring,
freeing ourselves and our paint.”
”The New Face of Watercolor” may be seen during regular Museum hours
Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 2:00 to
5:00 p.m. through October 2007. Admission to the Museum is free.

Exhibit: “Clyde Singer’s America”
Canton Museum of Art, 1001 Market Avenue N., downtown Canton, OH
330-453-7666
The Canton Museum of Art is honored to present an exhibition of paintings by
Malvern's native son, Clyde Singer, entitled "Clyde Singer's America." A
book by the same name is to be published in time for the opening of the
exhibit. A direct descendant of the "Ash-Can School" of American artists,
Clyde never aspired to be a famous artist. His paintings of cityscapes and
his home pastoral images were his obsession. He left behind nearly 4,000
paintings when he died at age 91 in 1999. Many of these are found in
private, museum and corporate collections. The Canton Museum of Art honors
Clyde with a one-man show every decade and there are a number of his works
in our Permanent Collection. From his days as a "fill-in guy" for big sign
jobs in the 1920's, he labored through the Great Depression until 1931,
saving enough money to study at the Columbus Art School (now the Columbus
College of Art and Design). He earned a scholarship for his second year at
the Columbus Art School and then sent in some works to the Art Students
League in New York City. To his surprise, Singer was awarded a scholarship
and headed off to New York and fell in love with the big city. His story
begins here. This exhibit runs through October 29. www.cantonart.org
