"Brass City, Grass Roots" explores the forgotten history of agriculture in Waterbury,

​

which persisted even after the factories came to town.

​

Bethlehem artist and Arts Alliance of Woodbury President Marc Russell will show recent photographs at the Woodbury Public Library Gallery during the month of September. 

​

The exhibit takes two directions in showcasing Mr. Russell’s photography.

Many of the photographs are made using 4x5 black and white film and printed by Mr.Russell in his darkroom and also featuring images from his Garlic and Mushroom series. Mr.Russell says, “Nature’s inspiration is boundless. Taking time to enjoy, examine and reflect often leads to new discoveries. His work comes from explorations while hiking and traveling as well as in the garden, where nature provides the colorful, varied and wonderful array of forms, patterns, shapes and textures. 

​

Marc Russell holds an MFA degree from Brooklyn College with studies at the Art Students League, Brooklyn Museum, Pratt Institute and Maine Photo Workshops. Mr. Russell has been a New York City advertising, event and portrait photographer. He created a photography department at the Taft School and was an adjunct professor at Suffern Community College teaching Black and White photography and advanced studio techniques.

The talk will take a “Slow Look” at their works to see how they overcame their visual changes to create masterpieces.

New England’s #1 Pink Floyd Experience, Floydian Trip aims to recreate some of the spectacular and moving live performances that Pink Floyd became known for in the 1970s and 1980s. This era is sometimes known as the “Roger Waters Years.” Floydian Trip recreates the sound in both the performance and tone of how Floyd would have been heard if you were seeing them live on stage during the Dark Side of the Moon Tour, Wish You Were Here Tour, In the Flesh (Pink Floyd) Tour, or The Wall Tour. Floydian Trip painstakingly recreates the classic Pink Floyd live experience. The band has poured over thousands of hours of official, unofficial, and bootleg audio and video of Pink Floyd between 1973 and 1981 in order to create the most authentic live Pink Floyd experience you can witness.

Cryptids thrive in the popular consciousness. From Bigfoot to Mothman, these creatures inspire devout fandoms among individuals who love stories about the extraordinary.

But these are only a few of the mythical creatures that call Connecticut home. Did you know that mermaids supposedly live off the coast of Stratford? Or that a multi-headed serpent is said to overlook the town of Beacon Falls? Join Connecticut Cryptids authors Patrick Scalisi and Valerie Ruby-Omen for a talk sharing cryptid stories that have been part of Connecticut culture from as early as the 1600s. Books will be available for purchase.
