Ailerons and fuselage. \nTheir hollow bones will be broken and poisoned by beasts created in thei r image.” \n                                                                                                               -Campbell McLean \n  \nCampbell McLean explores her queer-American experience by creating caricaturist paintings\, objects\, installations\, and videos. From oil on canvas\, papier-mâché to found object\, McLean ’s unique aesthetic approach shines through in her sporadic ‘make-due ’ energy that flows seamlessly between 2D and 3D forms. The resulting wo rks are immersive and modular series and installations that read as both s pecific and universalizing\, personal and relatable. \n  \nIn War-Birds & Adverts\, the artist’s installation for the 301 Frame Gallery\, McLean incorporates themes of patriotism\, camp\, nostalgia\, and caricature as a generalized and vague criticism of the time and space we are living in no w. Campbell’s use of humor and the appropriation of a thinly veiled spec tacle\, seek to critique a multitude of cultural and contemporary concerns \, including\, isolation\, screen time\, self-commodification\, sloganeeri ng\, sex\, death\, war\, ‘the art market’. As McLean comments\, “Can I really not talk about that terrible ‘thing’ at an institutional gal lery?” How are the birds doing? Didn’t you hear?! It’s all for sale! Call my gallerist! 978 495 6697. \n  \nCampbell-Lynn McLean is a Boston- based artist and a 2022 graduate from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) BFA program. McLean is currently pursuing her MFA in pai nting at Boston University\, Class of 2027. She has received numerous awar ds and scholarships in recognition of her works\, including the Stephen D. Paine Scholarship in 2021\, the George Nick Award in 2022\, and the Josep h Ablow Memorial Prize in 2026. Since 2024\, she has presented a solo exhi bition\, included in three group exhibitions\, and two art fairs with LaiS un Keane\, Boston\, MA.

They w ere brought together by Sendak\, who wanted an occasional break from worki ng long hours in his studio on such projects as the illustrations and sets for the opera Brundibar. He gave Jonathan Weinberg the task of forming th e drawing group. \nAt the time\, Weinberg\, who is both a painter and an a rt historian\, and his husband\, Nick Boshnack\, lived next door to Sendak in a house Sendak owned. This house\, where these first drawing sessions took place\, was affectionately known as “the Nut House\,” not because of the mental capacity of its inhabitants\, but because squirrels frequen tly dropped acorns on its roof. Weinberg invited Marc McChesney\, a young local artist whom he had briefly mentored\, to join the group. Marc\, in turn\, suggested that his best friend\, the illustrator Jamison Odone\, c ome to draw with them as well. The quartet was augmented by Herman\, Maur ice Sendak’s enormous and beautiful German shepherd\, who provided emoti onal support. \nThe paintings\, drawings\, and posters in the exhibition p rovide a sense not only of what the work of the drawing sessions was like\ , but also an introduction to the art the four artists made in the years b efore\, during\, and after the Nut House days. \nSunday at the Nut House w as originally conceived and organized by participating artists Jonathan We inberg and Jamison Odone in 2025 for the Stephanie Ann Roper Gallery at Fr ostburg State University.

DTSTART:20260923T000000Z DTEND:20260923T010000Z DTSTAMP:20260905T000632Z UID:10016380-1790107200-1790110800@swingbluealliance.org CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Talking With Voters Across Differences \nHow can we stay open when a voter says something that makes our hackles rise? How can we listen without feeling we have to agree? And find “toeholds” that can help a stuck conversation move somewhere new? \nIt’s tempting to jump in with facts\, arguments\, or the “perfect” response (which doesn’t exist) that will change their mind. But what if our job isn’t to change their m ind? What becomes possible when we let go of that burden—and get curious instead? And what if a respectful conversation across our differences can count as success\, too? \nJoin Elizabeth Chur\, author of The Joy of Talk ing Politics with Strangers and Bay Area Coalition co-founder Susan Bolle for an exploration of how to engage when the stakes are high and the diff erences are real. \nThrough stories from the field and practical strategie s\, we’ll explore how patience\, awareness\, and empathy can help us nav igate emotionally charged conversations without getting pulled into a powe r struggle. We’ll leave time to wrestle with your questions and real-lif e voter dilemmas—and to try out different approaches together. \nWe knoc k doors and phone bank because elections matter. But how we meet one anoth er matters\, too. At a time of profound division\, meeting a fellow citize n with openness and respect can be a quietly radical act—and a way of pr acticing the democracy we’re working so hard to protect. \nGo to https:/ /elizabethchur.com/ for The Joy Of Talking Politics With Strangers \n\nPLE ASE SIGN UP HERE FOR THE EVENT LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T000632Z LOCATION:Online/Anywhere\, MA\, 02474 URL:https://swingbluealliance.org/eventscalendar/what-if-you-dont-have-to- change-their-mind/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=sal em-ma X-SOURCE-NAME:Swing Blue Alliance X-SOURCE-URL:https://swingbluealliance.org/calendar/salem-ma-good-trouble- continues-in-salem END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
