You are invited to the Gallery on the Green’s annual “Member/Guest Exhibition” showcasing artists who are members of the Canton Artists Guild and their invited guests. Members invite artists from their creative networks to display their artistic talents across a variety of media including painting, drawings, prints, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mixed media and fiber art. The result fills the main gallery with a superb display of local artistic talent.
Upstairs are two solo exhibitions. In a show entitled, “Everyday People,” Kathy Schwartz celebrates the human form and the expression of the human spirit through the lines and shapes of the physical body. The twenty pieces on display include a variety of materials including pastels, acrylic pours, fabric, dried plants and more. “My techniques are varied. Experimenting with different materials allows me to better express both the artistry of my work and the subjects themselves”.
In “Cracked and Crazed” Donna Namnoum, the second solo artist, is exhibiting over thirty ceramic works that incorporate the covered jar and other wheel thrown forms. Throughout her career Namnoum has used the potter’s wheel as her main tool of expression helping her to create an evolving series of sculptural forms. Her current display features abstracted plant-like growths. “Each of the parts is made on the potter’s wheel and then is altered and assembled, creating forms that look alive – growing, twisting and even wilting.”
Namnoum received her M.A. in Art Education and Ceramics from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford. She has exhibited throughout New England and the United States, often earning awards for her entries. Namnoum’s work has frequently appeared in a variety of publications including the Hartford Courant, Art Scope and Sculpture magazine and Ceramics Monthly magazine.

Spiritual Support Group
Get grounded, feed your soul, and express yourself in a safe & supportive environment
With Ryan Drodz, Reiki Master & Sound Healer
Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month starting May 27th from 7pm-8:30pm
If you are seeking support on your spiritual path, craving authentic connection, and need a space to speak your truth, look no further! Ryan will open each group with a brief sound meditation to help participants get grounded, then share his own spiritual experiences, struggles, and self-expression practices. This group is held in an open forum style. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, challenges, and joys with no pressure to do so. Sharing within the group is optional.
Ryan wishes to serve others walking a spiritual path after hearing similar struggles from others on their journey. Please read through the group rules before attending. These rules must be honored to provide safety, common ground, and respect for other participants.
Is this group right for you? Read the below and if you agree to the below then this may be the right group for you:
1. Spiritual Support Groups are confidential–what is shared in the group stays within the group. Do not share names, stories, and details about attendees outside of a group that could be used to identify them. This is a safe space that encourages vulnerability, authentic expression, and spiritual growth.
2. The group is held in an open forum style. If you would like to speak, limit responses to 3-5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to speak. Refrain from crosstalk and talking over others. Discrimination and rudeness will not be tolerated in this group.
3. Offering genuine support and encouragement is highly recommended! Keep in mind that each person's spiritual journey is unique. I encourage you to share your journey and refraining from offering unsolicited advice to others. We do not “should” on others within the group because this is disempowering. For example, “You should do this, say this, try this” is not allowed.
What participants should bring: An open heart, mind, and the courage to express what may be dimming your inner light.
Event Fee: $20 suggested donation.
PLEASE RSVP: https://soundslikerad.setmore.com/book
For Questions: radliving13@gmail.com
Bio: Ryan has struggled with depression and undiagnosed chronic pain for years which led him to do much inner work. During this journey, he learned to identify ego vs soul and to trust his heart’s intuition over thoughts created by the mind. Ryan is a Reiki Master, Sound Healer, RYT-200, and eternal student.

This exhibition explores the range of spectacular shows that were offered to the fee-paying public in Georgian London, from exhibitions of paintings, to scientific demonstrations, to the display of wondrous animals. The exhibition primarily focuses on images drawn from the extensive collections at the Lewis Walpole Library that announce, depict and satirize what people paid to gaze at. It will consider how derogatory ideas about spectacle were expressed in caricatures and political discourse.

Spiritual Support Group
Get grounded, feed your soul, and express yourself in a safe & supportive environment
With Ryan Drodz, Reiki Master & Sound Healer
Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month starting May 27th from 7pm-8:30pm
If you are seeking support on your spiritual path, craving authentic connection, and need a space to speak your truth, look no further! Ryan will open each group with a brief sound meditation to help participants get grounded, then share his own spiritual experiences, struggles, and self-expression practices. This group is held in an open forum style. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, challenges, and joys with no pressure to do so. Sharing within the group is optional.
Ryan wishes to serve others walking a spiritual path after hearing similar struggles from others on their journey. Please read through the group rules before attending. These rules must be honored to provide safety, common ground, and respect for other participants.
Is this group right for you? Read the below and if you agree to the below then this may be the right group for you:
1. Spiritual Support Groups are confidential–what is shared in the group stays within the group. Do not share names, stories, and details about attendees outside of a group that could be used to identify them. This is a safe space that encourages vulnerability, authentic expression, and spiritual growth.
2. The group is held in an open forum style. If you would like to speak, limit responses to 3-5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to speak. Refrain from crosstalk and talking over others. Discrimination and rudeness will not be tolerated in this group.
3. Offering genuine support and encouragement is highly recommended! Keep in mind that each person's spiritual journey is unique. I encourage you to share your journey and refraining from offering unsolicited advice to others. We do not “should” on others within the group because this is disempowering. For example, “You should do this, say this, try this” is not allowed.
What participants should bring: An open heart, mind, and the courage to express what may be dimming your inner light.
Event Fee: $20 suggested donation.

The Lewis Walpole Library's latest exhibition has been curated by Alison FitzGerald, Associate Professor in the Department of History, Maynooth University, Ireland. Open Wednesdays 2-4:30 pm and other times by appointment. On view March 5 through August 22, 2025.
This exhibition explores the range of spectacular shows that were offered to the fee-paying public in Georgian London, from exhibitions of paintings, to scientific demonstrations, to the display of wondrous animals.

PLAZA SUITE - Written By Neil Simon
Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at The Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!"

Monday thru Friday, August 4-8, 9 AM to 12 PM daily.
Children entering grades 3-6 will explore Windsor history while having fun in a historical setting! Learn about Windsor’s people and their stories while “doing” history! Daily program themes build an understanding of Windsor’s diverse history from earliest times to the present day.
Monday, August 4, The Quill is Mightier Than the Sword. Few things are as important to human history as the written word. Students will make their own ink, practice writing with a quill, and bind their own book using 18th-century techniques.
Tuesday, August 5, Fantastic Fibers. If life is a tapestry, let’s weave it together! Part science, part art, textile work has been integral to cultures across the world. Students spin, weave, and dye fabric with plants from our garden.
Wednesday, August 6, Set in Stone. Explore ancient Palisado Cemetery. Meet the residents, unearth the histories, and discover the artistic motifs of the past. Students create a ‘death head’ stamp based off the carvings they spotted among the stones.
Thursday, August 7, Through the Lens of Time. A large part of Windsor Historical Society’s collection is the historic photo collection. In this program students look at unique pieces from the collection, discover different photography methods throughout history, try their hands at cyanotypes, and make a camera obscura.
Friday, August 8, Clay Creations. Windsor is a town built on clay, literally. Students get their hands dirty, process some clay, make bricks, clay dye a shirt, and understand the many ways Windsor’s people worked and lived in the past!

Summer Hands-On History Program for Kids!
The Lewis Walpole Library's latest exhibition has been curated by Alison FitzGerald, Associate Professor in the Department of History, Maynooth University, Ireland. Open Wednesdays 2-4:30 pm and other times by appointment. On view March 5 through August 22, 2025.
This exhibition explores the range of spectacular shows that were offered to the fee-paying public in Georgian London, from exhibitions of paintings, to scientific demonstrations, to the display of wondrous animals. The exhibition primarily focuses on images drawn from the extensive collections at the Lewis Walpole Library that announce, depict and satirize what people paid to gaze at. It will consider how derogatory ideas about spectacle were expressed in caricatures and political discourse.
