Residents Event Calendar

Our next art gallery exhibit features the work of Peg Munson. Peg’s artist statement reads, in part, as follows: I designed and created stained glass for ten years, selling pieces in galleries on Cape Cod and in Newport, RI. I transitioned to painting and photography when my severe arthritis made working with glass too difficult. My preferred medium is pastel. I have won ribbons for both photography and pastel paintings. Landscapes that feature water are my favorite subject. The reception will also feature classical guitarist Mark Small. Refreshments will be served.

Voices of Resistance & Critical Patriotism Throughout American history inspiring figures have offered alternative visions of our national identity and community.

He is author of four books, most recently History and Hope in American Literature: Models of Critical Patriotism, 2016. Southgate residents are admitted to the class free of charge.
