Works on paper noted by noted Avant-garde artist Gertrude Barrer will be on display in the Gallery Space at the Woodbury Public Library during regular open hours in May.
Gertrude Barrer was born in 1921 in New York City and studied with Harry Sternberg at the Art Student's League from 1939-1942/43 and at the University of Iowa under noted artist Philip Guston. She has been increasingly credited by art historians as having been a leading contributor to American Modern Art. She and her husband, artist, Frank Russell, moved to Roxbury in 1959, and collaborated on such projects as ceramics, murals, illustrations, sculpture and prints. They were also deeply involved in the Connecticut art world.
Gertrude Barrer's work is included in numerous permanent collections, including at The Vatican; the United Nations Chapel in Geneva, Switzerland; the Cologne Cathedral, in Germany; the University of Maine; the Dayton Art Institute; Women's City Club of New York (now Women Creating Change); Bradford Museum, Chicago; the Harrison Museum at the State University of Utah; and the homes of many private collectors throughout the U.S. and Europe. Ms. Barrer has been quoted saying, "Art is a religion and a way of life to me. It involves intellect and constant learning, intellectual as well as just the craft of skills in any medium. I am a thinker who uses art as my discipline but I live in the world and must find my symbols in the world." Barrer died in 1997. Works on display are available to purchase through Clapp & Tuttle Gallery in Woodbury.

Taxes have been a concern for many Americans for decades now. With rising deficits, debt on the federal, state and municipality level where does that leave the taxpayer? As we head towards retirement most Americans have squirreled away a fair amount of assets “tax-deferred”, what is that asset truly worth? Join Michael Alimo of USA Financial and Tax Services for a virtual workshop on Tuesday, May 18 at 6:00 PM. At this educational workshop you will learn how taxes can change the outcome of your retirement. Discussion will include current tax law, potential changes to tax law and strategies to get to as close to “tax-free” in retirement as you can. Samples of retirement analysis and strategies to transition to a more favored tax position with your savings and “tax-free” legacy concepts to consider.

TEENS! Join a monthly book group that celebrates diversity through great literature! Created for readers in grades 8-12, the group will meet monthly via Zoom. The next book in the discussion series is Genesis Begins Again by Alicia D. Williams. Genesis Begins Again is a Newbery and Kirkus Prize honor winner, a William C. Morris Award finalist, and the winner of the Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award for New Talent.
There are ninety-six reasons why thirteen-year-old Genesis dislikes herself. She knows the exact number because she keeps a list:
-Because her family is always being put out of their house.
-Because her dad has a gambling problem. And maybe a drinking problem too.
-Because Genesis knows this is all her fault.
-Because she wasn’t born looking like Mama.
-Because she is too black.
Genesis is determined to fix her family, and she’s willing to try anything to do so…even if it means harming herself in the process. But when Genesis starts to find a thing or two she actually likes about herself, she discovers that changing her own attitude is the first step in helping change others.
There are a limited amount of FREE copies of the book; register and recieve yours! A Zoom link will be emailed to you prior to the first meeting.

Mallory Mortillaro serves as the Curator of Collections for the Hartley Dodge Foundation in
Madison, NJ. While she was cataloging the artwork housed inside of the Hartley Dodge
Memorial she uncovered a masterpiece that had been lost to the art world since the 1930’s.
After a year of research the piece was authenticated as an official work by Auguste Rodin.
Mallory will share the story of how a simple art cataloging project evolved into a search for a
mysterious piece’s provenance, and became one of the biggest art finds in recent history.
Register and a Zoom link will be sent prior to the program.

Join dry stone wall builder Andrew Pighills for a virtual presentation, “The Stone Structures and Walls of England and New England: An Evolution”. Concentrating on the stone structures of England and New England, the lecture draws comparisons, similar and dissimilar, between the geology, building styles and techniques, and follows the evolution of stone walls and structures from colonial times to the present day and explains how they fit into the garden and broader landscape, past and present. Born in Yorkshire, England, Andrew Pighills is an accomplished stone artisan, gardener and horticulturist. He received his formal horticulture training with The Royal Horticultural Society and has spent 31 years creating gardens and building dry stone walls in his native England in and around the spectacular Yorkshire Dales and the English Lake District.
