    The NC Museum of Art's current exhibition, Childe Hassam and the Isles of Shoals, helps explain America Impressionism and its fascination with gardens. Students will learn much from Hassam's colorful paintings of Celia Thaxter's New Hampshire garden, and will discover new ways to appreciate their own eastern NC gardens. On Tuesday, June 7, Kieth Lyon, BCCC history instructor, will present a program on American Impressionism and its links to the late 19th century Garden Movement.


    On Saturday, June 11, the class will travel to Raleigh and enjoy a docent-led tour of the Childe Hassam exhibition. The class will also have time to explore the Marks of Genius: 100 Extraordinary Drawings exhibit. Participants can eat at Iris, the museum's restaurant, if they choose. Afterwards the class will stroll the J.C. Raulston Arboretum perennial border. Students will return home inspired to paint, garden or both. The all-inclusive fee for the class is $75.


    Facebook has revolutionized the way we stay in touch with our friends, kids, grandchildren, and even the institutions and businesses we support.
