Mary Cassatt
Worcester Art Museum
55 Salisbury Street
Worcester, MA 01609
Google Maps - MapQuest
Mary Cassatt's 1901 pastel "Simone in a White Bonnet," on loan from a private collection, will be on view at the Worcester Art Museum as part of a small, focused installation. As this work reveals, the medium of pastel was exceptionally well suited to Cassatt's Impressionist predilections for indistinct outlines and luminous color. Paired with "Reine Lefebvre Holding a Nude Baby"-the Museum's celebrated Cassatt from the same period-this installation highlights the artist's mastery of different mediums, as she shifted between oil painting and pastel toward the end of her career.

Scientific Americans: The Art of Science in the New Nation
6:00 PM-9:00 PM
American Antiquarian Society
185 Salisbury Street
Worcester, MA 01609
Google Maps - MapQuest
Guest Scholar: Gregory Nobles
As much as we talk about citizen science today, the notion has been around since the founding of the nation. In the century following the American Revolution, long before scientist became a profession pursued by people in academic and corporate laboratories, science seemed to be almost everywhere in American society, and almost everyonegentlemen of science but ordinary people as wellcould take part in scientific inquiry. This workshop seeks to recapture the spirit of that time when science seemed accessible in so many ways. By looking creatively at the wide range of visual resources available at the American Antiquarian Societyscientific texts and images, of course, but illustrated newspapers and magazines, cookbooks, seed catalogs, childrens books, prints, and ephemeraworkshops participants will develop a fresh understanding of the many ways Americans encountered science in their everyday lives and, by doing so, may become better aware of our own engagement with science in the current day.

Facing the World: Modernization and Splendor in Meiji Japan
Worcester Art Museum
Japanese Gallery
55 Salisbury Street
Worcester, MA 01609

During the Meiji (enlightened rule) period (1868 -1912) when power was restored back to the emperor from the samurai class, Japan underwent rapid modernization that established a thriving industrial sector and a powerful national army and navy. Though the Meiji period is best known for dramatic domestic reforms, its modernization also involved presenting the nation on the international stage through the beauty of its arts. Facing the World features magnificent lacquerware that represented Japan at international expositions in Paris and San Francisco as well as prints reflecting Japan's accelerated growth at home and abroad.
