Jamesport Meeting House

The grant was used to fund the Meeting House’s new 1731 Concert Series and its Harvest Arts Festival.  The 1731 Concert Series will feature three performances by professional New York-based ensembles and will include, but not be limited to music written around 1731. The Harvest Arts Festival began with a still life drawing class “Autumnal Light from 1731” with New York Times illustrator Rob Shepperson.  This was followed by a bookmaking and calligraphy workshop with Marta Baumiller and Alan Scott and a cyanotype workshop where participants printed images using the sunlight coming through the Meeting House’s beautiful old windows.  The final program on November 17 featured a newly commissioned video performance work by Cliff Baldwin, “Jamesport Meeting - A Cinematic Exploration of the Building in Pictures and Sound,” projected on the Meeting House’s century-old tin walls.   This program also marked the 10thanniversary of the preservation of the Jamesport Meeting House.
