“things we lost in the:The Legacy of St. Amelia’s College of Speculative Timbre" is a captivating art exhibition set within a unique historical narrative. The guest curator is mid-coast Maine poet, artist and musician Colin Cheney; it opens on October 3 and will be on view through November 1, 2024. This exhibition invites visitors to explore a blend of contemporary artwork and thought-provoking historic artifacts inspired by the fictional St. Amelia’s College of Speculative Timbre. A number of artist talks, musical events, and performances will occur throughout the show’s tenure.
Inspired by works such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Primitive and The Museum of Jurassic Technology, guest curator Cheney creates a superfictional space where reality and fiction complicate each other. The fictional St. Amelia’s College, which was destroyed in a fire in 1996 in rural Vermont, was a sanctuary for artists exploring unconventional art, sound, and ecological studies.
“things we lost in the” features a wide variety of artworks, including paintings, photography, sculpture, and time-based video and sound art. The exhibition highlights the talents of nineteen local and international artists, including Khaila Batts, Rita Bernstein, Jordan Carey, Aminata Conteh, Epiphany Couch, Maung Day, Fadl Fakhouri, Shaina Gates, Dana Guth, Jenny Ibsen, Marcus Jackson, Lokotah Sanborn, Adam Rosenblatt, Kalyn Pavliniç, Martin Pavliniç, Kenny Shapiro, Juria Toramae, Andrew Tosiello and Zizou Zou.
Each artwork will be accompanied by text providing lyric insights into the artist’s vision and their connection to the myth of St. Amelia’s. Additionally, the exhibition includes “artifacts” from the college, such as a disassembled pump organ, burnt timbers, archival files, and scientific apparatuses. While some artifacts will be identified, others will invite visitors to contribute their own stories.

Have you ever wondered how a mobile gets to balance? During this open studio, you will get the chance to see works in progress and you can witness the magic of sculptures taking to the air, balancing and moving.
Additionally, walk through the garden display and enjoy the artwork on the open porches. Dynamically moving sculptures need to be seen in person, no photo will give justice to the magic. Enjoy this chance to see mobiles as well as a line of jewelry and belt buckles in different sizes and materials. I look forward to meeting you.

Make your own handmade journal, sketchbook, or photo album with guest teacher, Diana Arcadipone. Handmade books make a wonderful gift, and are a great way to exhibit unique fabric or papers you’ve collected.
Please bring light to medium-weight fabric to use for your book cover. Fabric should be a natural fiber like silk, linen or cotton. Synthetic fabric like polyester will not work, so if you’re not sure, bring a couple of options with you. Your fabric will need to be big enough to cover your book in one piece, so somewhere around 12 x 24” will work.
All other materials will be provided, but feel free to bring additional papers, buttons, or a clasp to personalize your project.
There will be a short break for lunch during this class. Students should bring a bag lunch or plan to grab food nearby.

Join Chef Jesse Steiger as he clarifies butter and turns it into ghee. Ghee is a type of clarified butter originating from India. The milk solids are removed, meaning ghee has less lactose than butter. Traditionally, ghee has been used as cooking oil, an ingredient in dishes, and in Ayurveda therapies. Infusing herbs into the ghee, such as ginger and cardamom, is the best way to acquire the healing benefits of those herbs.
After the demonstration, participants are welcome to buy some ghee and take it home in their kitchens. Chef Steiger will share more about the health benefits of ghee and how he uses it in his own recipes. Space is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The demonstration will begin at 4:00 PM and end at 5:00 PM.
