Workshops & Events
Learning and experiencing art is what we at Artsworth do. By providing unique workshops to our community members, whether they are children, teenagers, or adults, we are able to open the doors to creativity and show all who wish to learn about the beauty of crafting high quality work with your hands and heart. Workshops are held at 25 Pine Street and range from learning about how to manipulate molten glass to how to solder metal to how to sculpt out of clay or fiber. Our goal is to remain open to suggestions and ideas of how to meet the interests and needs of our community by providing a space for all teachers to share their craft with students of all ages. We hope that if you have a great idea that you wish to share with others, that you will come to Artsworth, share our space and share with us.

Ben Cosgrove is a traveling composer, pianist, and multi-instrumentalist from New England. He travels constantly all over the country, performing a unique variety of original instrumental music that explores themes of landscape, geography, and environment while straddling a line between folk and classical music. His “electric and exhilarating” live performances are at once dazzling and intimate: music that has been described as “stunning” and “compelling and powerful,” — Red Line Roots has called him “stupidly talented” — all presented with “warmth, humor, honesty, and the easy familiarity of a troubadour.”

"Wintering is my term for a period in life when we're frozen, cast out in the cold, those times when the ground seems to drop beneath us for whatever reason," May says. "It's this incredibly painful time when we feel very isolated and cut off and when we lose hope. I wanted to join the dots, really, between those events across the course of our lives and across different lives, to say that this is actually a deeply human experience." --Katherine MayMy family moved to Mount Desert Island in June 2020. This is my husband's childhood home, and we live in the farmhouse he grew up in. I spent my first winter grieving loss and change--and somewhere in the muddle, I fell in love with the dark and cold. I had not lived through a full winter since my childhood in Indiana, and I had deep pangs of homesickness for memories of delighting in snow. I made these images as a way to express something I could not in words--they are a visual journal and journey--they gave me the opportunity to notice, to pause, and to stay.BIOI grew up in Indiana and my father sometimes read his poetry aloud. If I closed my eyes, the words created images that floated in my mind and I shivered.
I remember the very first time I shivered when making a photo. My grandma Bertha was telling me about her chickens, and her toes were interlocked like a clasped hand. I could see where she’d lost her toenail from an axe mishap as a child. I took photos of her feet, and I shivered. Making photographs is deeply personal process for me; it causes me to slow down and reflect as the world unfurls around me.
I am interested in the fibers connecting self to family and other forms of belonging—but also those that may reveal a tension between how we see ourselves and how we feel defined. As humans, we make sense of our world through storytelling. I am curious about the narratives that confine us, the narratives that connect us, and those we create to set us free.

Listening Room Concert with Liz Simmons
Born in San Francisco to musician parents, Liz spent her early childhood traveling through the wilds of north America in a sky blue VW bus. Her parents were itinerant, moving from California to Oregon, then to Ketchikan, Alaska where they played regular gigs in the pubs for the locals. Liz and her sisters’ lullabies were traditional songs, and by day their soundtrack was the rock and roll and New Orleans brass music their parents played in their band.
Once the family settled in rural New Hampshire, Liz received classical musical training, but as her teen years drew to a close she found her way back to folk music. She was particularly drawn to the intersections of traditional music, and how they connect with contemporary sounds. In 2005, Liz received a BA from Goddard College where she studied American vernacular music of the 1920s and 30s. She then went on to found Annalivia with her husband Flynn Cohen, as well as perform alongside Long Time Courting, Hannah Sanders, EVA, Livingston Taylor, Tom Chapin, and Melanie.
With their friend and oft-collaborator Lissa Schneckenburger, Liz and Flynn formed the band Low Lily in 2015. Setting down roots in Brattleboro, Vermont, the band has crafted a signature sound which they have shared with enthusiastic audiences throughout North America and the UK, garnering two #1 songs on international folk radio and two Independent Music Award wins.

Ryan Blotnick QuartetRyan Blotnick - Guitar
Danny Fox - Piano
Adam Chilenski - Bass
Otto Hauser - DrumsMaine-based guitarist Ryan Blotnick presents a concert of all new jazz compositions. His group features pianist Danny Fox, who has been revered for “changing the sound and expectation of a jazz piano trio (John Schaefer, WNYC’s New Sounds)." He is also joined by longtime collaborator Adam Chilenski and Hudson Valley-based drummer Otto Hauser, who has been the propulsive force on over a hundred recordings, working with Jeff Tweedy, Sharon Von Etten, Vetiver, Cass McCombs and Meshell Ndegeocello.When writing for improvisers, Blotnick's tries to dictate as little as possible. A simple melody, some interesting chords, a few tonal shifts. He believes that a jazz composition should be more like a thoughtful question than a dissertation. As a composer of music for half-a-dozen award-winning films he has found that if the goal is the communication of subtle feelings, the notes are sometimes not as important as the timbre, the dynamics, or the intention of the music. Tonight's concert presents his first set of new tunes since he became a father. The music evokes the feeling of joy, endless imagination and emotional honesty that he witnesses daily in his five-year-old son Nico.Guitarist Ryan Blotnick has been called “a vital contemporary voice” by Time Out New York, “engagingly pensive” by the New York Times, “an authentic, compelling player” by Cadence Magazine. His music is soulful, melodic, and a bit quirky. His studies in New York with '60s era masters like Gene Bertoncini, Harold Mabern, Yusef Lateef, Billy Taylor and Andrew Cyrille gave him a deep respect for the depth and breadth of jazz, and sparked a desire to contribute to its evolution. In Copenhagen, he attended the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, where young players like Jakob Anderskov, Jakob Bro and Kresten Osgood were trying to disrupt the city's cozy museum-jazz night clubs with vibrant and original sounds. His interest in contemporary jazz has led him to work with musical thought-leaders like Michael Blake, Mat Maneri, Thomas Morgan and 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey. He now lives on Mount Desert Island in Maine, where writes music for film, teaches at College of the Atlantic, and plays in a soul band. He hikes in Acadia National Park every day and occasionally leaves the island for groceries.Danny Fox is a Brooklyn-based pianist and composer. After graduating with a degree in psychology from Harvard University, Danny moved back to his hometown of NYC to study classical piano with John Kamitsuka. Since 2008 he has led the Danny Fox Trio, hailed as “changing the sound and expectation of a jazz piano trio” (WNYC’s New Sounds). The trio has released the critically acclaimed albums "The One Constant,” "Wide Eyed,” and “The Great Nostalgist. He has also founded the genre-bending chamber quintet “Bubble Feed.” Called a "pianist of diverse accomplishment" (NY Times), Danny is active in a wide variety of settings, co-founding the New Orleans rock and roll group Tubby, playing in the Brooklyn roots and bluegrass scene, as well as performing on Broadway and TV/Film sessions. He has performed with artists as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Cassandra Wilson, Emmylou Harris, and Christina Courtin and the Knights. Most recently, he composed the music for the documentary "Searchers" which premiered at the Sundance Festival.Bassist Adam Chilenski, coming from New York, keeps it fresh, performing with a wide variety of the talented musicians who abound in the city (Groove Collective, Frank LoCrasto, Jonah Smith and others). His recorded work includes performances, production, and writing with Luke Temple (Here We Go Magic), Mikael Jorgensen (Wilco), Emilie Simon, and others.Musician Otto Hauser, also from New York, is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator best known for his work as a drummer. In addition to solo performances, Hauser directs the ensemble Expectations and co-leads the groups Etheric Currents, Half Hearts, and the Gamble/Hauser/Wood Trio. Over the past twenty years, he has performed on over one hundred studio albums and innumerable concerts across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, working with diverse artists such as folk legends Kath Bloom, Vashti Bunyan, Mike Heron, Michael Hurley, and Bert Jansch; rockers The Black Crowes, Gary Louris, Philip Selway, Jeff Tweedy, and Tony Visconti; drum legends Steve Gadd and Bobby Previte; the unclassifiable Meshell Ndegeocello; and many contemporary indie and folk acts, including Nat Baldwin, Devendra Banhart, Richard Buckner, Espers, Josephine Foster, Fruit Bats, Cass McCombs, Juana Molina, Elvis Perkins, Luke Temple, Sharon Van Etten, Vetiver, The War on Drugs, and Jonathan Wilson.Doors at 7pm, Music at 7:30
