Volunteer for the Heinz History Center Exhibit "Louise Silk: A Patchwork Life"
by susan zelicoff 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Dear neighbors with an interest in stitching and fiber arts, The Rauh Jewish Archives will exhibit Louise Silk: A Patchwork Life from September 2024 through April 2025. Through a retrospective lens of her work, the exhibit will consider the evolution of fiber art within the fine art world, the growth of feminism locally, and environmentalism within the craft movement, among other topics. The centerpiece of the exhibit is Louise's new work called "The Witness Quilt" made from more than 1200 individual patches, each bearing a piece of folk wisdom. Below is the opportunity to be a hands-on part of the quilt. Maybe you are interested? If so, sign up for an information session below. Or maybe you know someone who might like to do some stitching; please forward this email. No hands-on stitching for you? You can learn in the future about other programming for this exhibit (including its opening) via the Heinz History Center <https://www.heinzhistorycenter.org/>. Learn about Louise Silk and her work online at <http://silkdenim.us/>http://silkdenim.us/, which she co-founded, as well as her blog, https://bubbewisdom.com/blog/. Volunteer Opportunity: "Louise Silk: A Patchwork Life" The Rauh Jewish Archives will be opening a retrospective this fall of local quilter and fiber artist Louise Silk <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001spBr50tWxVnm1R0iAx1iyCLuoZ8R40Ihz87bPRLo8ee…>. As part of the exhibit, Silk is creating a monumental new quilt with help from her “BubbeWisdom Stitching Circle,” a group of volunteers who will expand this quilt over the coming months. If you already have basic hand-stitching skills, you’ll be ready to go. If you’ve always wanted to learn, this is a great opportunity to acquire a new skill and join an exciting community initiative. To learn more about this project, and to help make it a reality, please register for an upcoming information session <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001spBr50tWxVnm1R0iAx1iyCLuoZ8R40Ihz87bPRLo8ee…>: Sunday, April 7, noon-2 p.m., or > Thursday, April 11, 6-8 p.m. Register <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001spBr50tWxVnm1R0iAx1iyCLuoZ8R40Ihz87bPRLo8ee…> For more information, please contact the archive.

Hello everyone, I have a wonderful piano in a house that I manage in Highland Park. Unfortunately, we are closing this location and I need to get rid of it. If anyone is interested, you can have it for free, provided that you move it. You are welcome to stop by and try it out. It will obviously need tuning after moving. Attaching some pictures of the piano. Cheers, Melissa [image: Piano_1.jpg] [image: Piano_2.jpg] [image: Piano_3.jpg]

HP house concert, Gráinne Hunt, April 25
by Alyson Bonavoglia 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

[image: Grainne outside.jpg] ‘A natural performer, Gráinne Hunt commands an astounding voice that will melt your heart. No crowd can resist.’ Declan O’Rourke Songwriter, Author We are thrilled to host Gráinne Hunt for a concert in our home on *April 25, Thursday*. Doors open at 6:30 pm, music begins at 7:00 pm. Grainne and her musical partner Brendan will be coming from their native Ireland for a US tour, and our home is their only PA stop. We're looking forward to an evening of soulful traditional Irish tunes, original songs, and perhaps some unique interpretations of well-loved covers. Gráinne Hunt is an extraordinary performer with a captivating voice and enchants audiences with her heart-melting vocals. She has shared stages with renowned musicians Glen Hansard and U2, and has opened for Mary Black, Declan O'Rourke, Eagle Eye Cherry, and Kane Brown among others. Notably, she had the honor of opening for Gladys Knight in Dublin's 3Olympia Theatre over four nights. Gráinne's powerful voice blends huskiness with vulnerability, making her a standout among Ireland's female vocalists and songwriters. Comparisons have been drawn to Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant, and Dolores Keane. Her albums "Firing Pin" (2015) and "This Secret" (2019) delve into personal experiences, evoking pain, longing, and the complexities of relationships. Here's my favorite track from Firing Pin, Low Tides <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lir4KuzjGrs6O_irim-VTNwKP8I1R0Nl/view?usp=…> . Aside from her solo work, Gráinne collaborates with guitarist Brendan Walsh in the duo Gráinne and Brendan, exploring folk, classical, and traditional music. Here's a track from their 2019 album Songs From Ireland, their lovely interpretation of Song for Ireland. <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LIKyjxaU_4srpzR__cUHHaqhMQ-BLPmk/view?usp=…> Gráinne's folk duo Hibsen with Jim Murphy released an album of songs based on James Joyce's "Dubliners." Here's Eveline <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dmWTvh6TeV0PuLoZdPWKN2pS78Q6N02y/view?usp=…> . Finally, watch this video of Gráinne performing the captivating Breathe <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYHVZmo6E1Q&t=46s> as part of a shutdown-era concert. Gráinne with just her guitar shines, and even on the screen you feel Gráinne's charming and engaging stage presence. New to house concerts? Here's what to expect: *Beverages & bites* We'll be providing beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as some snacks. Feel free to bring your own beverage or snack to share. *How do I get tickets?* This is our home, so space is limited. To guarantee your seats, purchase them here <https://sidedoor.link/l/NHx3rmy5lAYUQSpdKV4o>. Or, you can opt to RSVP by replying to this email and your seats will be held on first-come first served basis. Your $20 suggested minimum per person will be collected at the door. All proceeds go directly to the artists. *Where exactly is the concert?* At our Highland Park home. When you purchase tickets online or make a reservation you'll receive the address. *Why do you do this?* We love providing this wonderful, intimate way to experience music that brings together music lovers, and benefits musicians. All money collected goes directly to the hard-working artists. We feel privileged to be in the orbit of such talent. Hope you can join us! -Alyson & George
