SUMMARY:Art As Inspiration for Blair G. Ewing Students
DESCRIPTION:The Blair G. Ewing Center is MCPS’s Alternative Education Program\, designed to serve students with a variety of learning and social emotional needs. John Charles\, art teacher at the center\, has spent the past several years crafting the visual arts program to allow the students to express their creativity and emotions while also fulfilling their art credit requirements. The classes “blend several studio media\, printmaking\, sculpture\, photography and digital arts” says Charles\, whose own background in silk-screening encourages the students to layer drawings and photographs with abstract elements to create multimedia compositions. The January show will feature large- and small-scale prints from current students and recent alumni.

SUMMARY:Novelist Nancy Garruba in Conversation w/ Katherine Gekker
DESCRIPTION:The Writer’s Center welcomes novelist Nancy Garruba for a reading and discussion of her debut novel\, The Vanishing of Rose B. Nancy is in conversation with Katherine Gekker. FREE & open to the public. RSVP here. \nAbout The Vanishing of Rose B. \nRose B. defied mid-century expectations of what a woman could be and do. Not only a devoted wife and mother\, and one never to be seen without gloves and a hat\, she was the family’s main breadwinner. Exemplary\, indeed—although in private\, Rose suffered her charismatic\, volatile husband’s abuse\, abuse witnessed by their twin daughters\, Claire and Frances. Frances urged Rose to divorce\, Claire played mediator\, and Rose persevered\, determined to preserve her family\, even if at cost to herself. But a violent incident one spring evening would upset Rose’s plan and propel Frances to a life far from her parents and sister. \nDecades later\, Claire’s a reclusive high school art teacher who creates beautiful photographs but never exhibits. Frances is an architect in Los Angeles. Rose has died\, and Frances has flown home to help Claire sort through their mother’s clothes. Claire\, insisting that Frances is their mother’s mirror image\, one that she must capture\, asks Frances to pose for her as Rose\, dressed in Rose’s clothes. Frances\, wanting to force a discussion of that long-ago violent spring evening\, agrees\, but on one condition: She’ll tell stories as she poses\, stories about Rose. Told in two voices—that of the dynamic\, conflicted Frances and the tender\, diffident Claire\, who has her own stories about Rose—The Vanishing of Rose B. explores the difficulties mothers and daughters encounter in defining themselves within the world and against each other.
