2009 - 2010: Intervening Time

After a year's hiatus, we come back to our blog.

In the interim, since last July, we had Andrew DeVries' sculpture class - or an art history class with the focus on sculpture. Andrew walked us through Florence, Orvieto, Pienza, San Antimo, Assisi, Deruta' the Spoerri sculpture park and more to show us some of his favorite works and impart his excitement and extensive knowledge of sculpture specifically, art in general to all of us. When I am home again and have access to all my photos, I will post some of them here, along with a power point presentation Andrew gave at Tutti Italiani at The Cultural Center of Cape Cod during the winter.

Another event that took place in February was a series of dinner put on in Cape Cod when Silvano, Eliana and Francesca came over and cooked up a Tuscan storm. They fed approximately 350 people over the course of 5 dinners, parties and demonstrations. The following local businesses and institutions participated and are deeply in our gratitude: The Cultural Center of Cape Cod, Snows Home and Garden, The Beacon Room, Ring Brothers Market and Orleans Wine and Spirits. All these events were videotaped by John Rega of Fooding Around; you can find some podcasts of our 2-week whirlwind. I will also post photos of these events also.

Laura Martinez-Bianco made a presentation of the plein air workshop that William Noonan and she will teach in June 2010. I will try to insert the PowerPoint show here.
