Newport Antiques Show July 25th - July 27th 2014 - Newport R.I.

The Newport Antiques Show will celebrate its 7th anniversary in the summer of 2014. The Show runs Friday July 25th through Sunday July 27, 2014 at St. George’s School in Middletown, RI. It opens with the elegant Gala Preview Party on Thursday July 24, 2013.

In addition to antiques from esteemed dealers, the 2014 show will feature a loan exhibit entitled Fifty Objects That Shaped Rhode Island History. The exhibit strives to tell the state's story from its founding through the 20th century via such items as Roger Williams' compass-sundial and the shirt Governor Garrahy wore during the Blizzard of 1978.
The 2014 loan exhibit, Fifty Objects That Changed Rhode Island History, will be co-presented by the Rhode Island Historical Society and the Newport Historical Society.

Since 2007, the Newport Antiques Show has culled some of the most elegant and important Americana antiques for its massive annual shows. Show manager Diana H. Bittel, a distinguished antiques dealer in her own right, carefully selects the dealers to be featured, eventually inviting a lucky 40 to showcase their wares. With paintings, furniture, folk art, jewelry, and other one-of-a-kind pieces, antiques aficionados are sure to find an item that complements their home decor, appeals to their sense of history, or gives them a convenient shortcut to Narnia. The show also gives back by benefiting the Newport Historical Society and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County.

Cliff Walk Newport R.I.

BY RICHARD SALIT
Journal Staff Writer
rsalit@providencejournal.com

NEWPORT, R.I. — Cliff Walk, touted as the state’s most popular tourist destination, is nearing the end of a repeatedly delayed $5.2-million project to repair damage from superstorm Sandy in 2012. It’s expected to be completed in July.
On Tuesday, city and state officials gathered where the walk begins on Memorial Boulevard for the ceremonial unveiling of a plaque to pay tribute to those who supported the Department of Transportation project.
Sandy damaged the southernmost portion of the 3.5-mile walk, which runs alongside the cliffs of Easton Bay and the iconic mansions of Bellevue Avenue. It’s a National Recreational Trail in a National Historic District.
The project involved removing destroyed sections of sidewalks, filling voids and pouring new concrete sidewalks. The $3.2-million original contract with John Rocchio Corp., based in Smithfield, increased by an additional $2 million to cover the repair of a wall near Rough Point, the estate of the late Doris Duke, and install a stone wall on the edge of the Miramar mansion property, according to DOT spokeswoman Rose Amoros.
The work is being financed with federal Sandy relief, with a 20-percent state match.
The section of the walk from Bailey’s Beach to Ledge Road reopened in the fall. A stretch north from Marine Avenue to Ruggles Avenue opened Saturday. The final portion, near Miramar, is scheduled to reopen in July, Amoros said.
State officials had hoped for all of the work to be completed by Memorial Day for the peak tourist season. But they encountered unexpected construction delays. Prior to that, the project was pushed back to revise original engineering plans after surfers complained about temporary, and potentially permanent, changes to the renowned point break at Ruggles.
Another problem surfaced during Tuesday’s ceremony: the plaque — which honored members of the state’s congressional delegation, Newport representatives in the General Assembly and the City Council — misspelled Governor Chafee’s name. A second “f” was added.
The plaque, produced for the city’s Cliff Walk Commission by Rocchio and dedicated to “the vision and support of those committed to the preservation of this historic resource,” will be removed Wednesday, said Amoros. A new one will be made and installed, probably in July, she said.

"Fire & Ice; Combat Art from the Korean War" June 25th - Newport R.I.

The Naval War College Museum recently opened a new Korean War Exhibit, “Fire and Ice: Combat Art from the Korean War,” featuring 27 pieces by combat artists Herbert Hahn and Hugh Cabot.

Often called the “forgotten war,” the Korean War started on June 25, 1950 and ran until July 27, 1953. In all, five million soldiers and civilians died, including over 36,000 Americans. Pictured is “Poison Charley” by Hugh Cabot. While Korean winters took their toll on frontline troops, summers brought their own misery in the form of monsoon rains that could continue for weeks at a time. Outside of the cities there were few paved roads, and the dirt roads that did exist quickly turned to mud once the monsoons began.

The exhibit will be on display through December 2014. For more information, call 401-841-7276.

Newport International Polo Series - June 21st - R.I.

Newport International Polo Series – USA vs. Scotland

Few things can pull residents and guests off of a balmy late afternoon beach like a polo match at the Newport International Polo Series.  If you can tailgate at the event adjacent to the field consider yourself lucky.  The tailgate spots sell out months in advance, evidence of the increasing popularity of this weekly event.  No matter if you are in stands or milling about enjoying the scene, attending at least one match per season is a near requirement for spending any time on Aquidneck Island during the summer months.  How lucky we are to have such a beautiful game so accessible!

The Newport Polo Club is the successor of the historic Westchester Polo Club, founded in Newport in 1876. Today’s club is based in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, with public exhibition playing fields at historic Glen Farm, as well as private fields & outdoor arena in Portsmouth.

National Museum of American Illustration - Vernon Court - Newport R.I.

A Great Summer Season Opening!

On Thursday, May 22 the NMAI opened for Summer Season 2014 with the debut of a new exhibition, Norman Rockwell and his Contemporaries!  This exhibition has already been widely popular with both critics and museum visitors, it features artists such as: John Falter, John Clymer, Mead Shaeffer, Stevan Dohanos, Frank Schoonover, JC Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth, and of course, Norman Rockwell. For more information on this new exhibition.

Our Summer hours are now in full swing, adding three extra days a week for you, your family, and friends to see this new exciting record-breaking exhibtion; as well as a chance to visit The American Muse exhibition continued from last May due to public demand, original illustrations from My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea by Mary Jane Begin, and selections from our American Imagist Collection. Come visit the NMAI during our extended Summer hours, Thursdays - Sundays 11am - 5pm, no need for reservations. The exhibition is also available for viewing on Wednesdays by advance reservation for groups of 6 visitors or more.


The NMAI recently added a new statue to our NMAI Sculpture Collection! The Vigil of Rizpah by Joseph Mozier is now available for viewing in our Tiffany Loggia. Another Mozier sculpture, the noted  work entitled Jeptha's Daughter is on exhibit in The Marble Hall.

Installing a statue is much more complicated and involved than one may think. When Rizpah was delivered we were shocked to discover that she weighed 1860 lbs, just short of 2,000lb, a literal ton! Her weight ruled out manually carrying nearly a ton of marble  into Vernon Court and onto her pedestal. Other avenues had to be considered.

The solution? A huge forklift was carefully guided down the pathway leading to the entrance of the Tiffany Loggia, with only inches of clearance on either side. Rizpah's crate was slid onto the forklift attachment and slowly lifted up and over the marble steps and gently placed inside the building.
From the machine's extended reach over the steps, to the clearance of the crate in the doorway, to the width of the forklift to fit down the pathway, everything was thoughtfully planned. As anticipated, every measurement miraculously just barely fit to the great credit of the sculpture erection  team.

However it appeared, surprisingly that was the easist part. She was too heavy to be manually lifted onto her pedestal. Instead, a scaffolding was assembled inside the Loggia (very skillfully, to avoid the track lighting as well as the restored murals). A pulley system was installed and stratigically placed around the statue, supporting her delicatly so that pieces would not be snapped off by her own weight when lifted. Instead of being placed onto the pedestal,  it was actually slid beneath her, and then she was lowered down onto it.

A big thank you to the team assembled who volunteered their helping hands, advice, and experience in installing our new statue!


The NMAI is pleased to announce our recent participation in the Brandywine River Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, A Date with Art: the Buiness of Illustrated Calendars. Works from the NMAI's permanent American Imagist Collection were featured, including Maxfield Parrish's Venetian Lamplighters (1922), Reveries (1926), and Sunup, Little Brook Farm (1942).

"To a 1920s audience, Parrish's calendar scenes were magical windows to a world that glowed with fairies, exotic lights, and lush scenes rendered with almost three-dimensional realism. The glowing blue-sky in "The Venetian Lamplighter" (1922) is equally striking in the original painting and its calendar counterpart. Even Parrish's more pedestrian views of New England landscapes and ordinary homes - seen in 1929 and 1945 calendars - still have that unearthy depth and lights." - John Chambless, Chester County Press


A Date with Art: The Business of Illustrated Calendars - some text below from the Brandywine Museum press release: www.brandywinemuseum.org:

"Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parrish, Norman Rowckwell and N.C. Wyeth - foremost illustrators in the first half of the 20th century - created some of their best-known images for advertising calendars. Calendars hung in millions of homes, shops, and offices, providing artists with an opportunity to disseminate their work to a much broader audience than that for books or magazines. A Date with Art: The Business of Illustrated Calendars introduces visitors to the once-thriving, lucrative business of illustrated calendars. From Parrish's haunting work for General Electric's Edison Mazda Brand to Norman Rockwell's iconic images for the Boy Scouts of America, calendar images contributed greatly to an artist's popular repuation. Yet just as these for artists reaped financial benefit and fame by creating art for calendars, the connection to cocmmercial venures at times undermined their critical repuations as artists. This exhibition will reveal the various ways in which Pyle, Parrish, Rockwell, and Wyeth integrated calendar works into their calendar work into their careers, adapting to shifting views of contemporary art, illustration, and business."

The Brandwine River Museum (1 Hoffman's Mill Rd, Chadds Ford, PA) is open daily from 9:30 am. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call 610-388-2700 or visit www.brandwinemuseum.org


The exhibition has concluded and all three paintings have since returned to the NMAI. Reveries and Venetian Lamplighters are both currently on display in the Grand Salon.






Reviews:
                                                                                                       
"My boyfriend and I...are so glad we visited! The mansion itself is extremely beautiful and well maintained, as are the beautiful grounds. The actual illustration collection is expansive and beautiful. You could spend a great amount of time in each room enjoying all of the beautiful pieces. In particular, we enjoyed the Norman Rockwell collection. We were in awe of the beauty of the house and all the sculptures and illustrations througout...Absolutely worth a visit when you are in Newport -- we are so glad we went!"                                                                                          
                                                                          - "ResortMeg", tripadvisor.com, March 2014

"My colleagues and I consider the holdings of your museum to include works essential to the very cultural foundation of our contemporary society. More, it is recognized that such works as you protect and display remain part and parcel of the very fiber of our cultural identity as a nation and beyond."

                                  - Spencer Ladd, Associate Professor, Chair, University of Massachusetts: Dartmouth

"This Newport museum is truly one of the best museums I've had the pleasure to visit in my lifetime. Well worth taking the journey just to see a sample of some of the greatest "American" art set in a beautiful mansion."                                                                                          
                                                                     - "Commonman777", tripadvisor.com, March 2014
       





Norman Rockwell and his Contemporaries is a thematic exploration of artworks by Rockwell and his peers: those influenced by Rockwell and those who influenced the Master himself. The most noted artist-illustrators of his time were colleagues, classmates, and friends who lived and worked in nearby artist communites. The illustrators reflected and molded American society by depicting prototypical themes still held dear today. Featured alongside Rockwell are: John Clymer, Stevan Dohanos, John Falter, George Hughes, J.C. Leyendecker, and more.



Mary Jane Begin's new book My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea, as the title suggests, is a My Little Pony story with an aquatic theme. Her bold and intense use of colors in the underwater environment and nuanced depictions of the facial expressions convey the characters' wonderment at the strange and new world they experience. Illustrations from this book are now on display for viewing and for sale in the Lower Level galleries to benefit the NMAI.



Continuing for the 2014 Summer Season, this exhibition features the illustrative works of Charles Dana Gibson, Harrison Fisher, Howard Chandler Christy, Walter Granville Smith, James Montgomery Flagg, Albert Beck Wenzell, and others of their Gilded Age Illustrator colleagues, each demonstrating their own particular notion of the Classic American female Beauties from the Gilded Age.

NEWPORT, RI, May 20, 2014 — The Newport Concert Series at the Newport Yachting Center announces that KC and the Sunshine Band will headline at the Newport Yachting Center on Wednesday, July 9th for what promises to take one and all back to a 1970s dance night complete with costume changes by the 15 performers in the band and a disco ball.  Tickets to the show will be available for purchase for $29.50, $49.50 and $59.50 starting this Thursday, May 22nd at noon by visiting www.newportwaterfrontevents.com or by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000.  The gates for the concert will open at 5:30 p.m. followed by music on The Point Stage.  Music on the Main Stage will follow at 7:00 p.m.  The Newport Concert Series will begin later this month and continue through October at its unique waterfront venue in downtown Newport.

Known for helping to change the sound of modern pop music, KC and the Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the 1970s.  The band’s leader, Harry Wayne Casey – KC for short – developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk along with a Latin percussion groove which resulted in an impressive string of #1 hits, including “Get Down Tonight”, “That’s The Way (I Like It)” and “Shake Your Booty”.  In fact, in 1975 KC and the Sunshine Band became the first act since the Beatles in 1964 to score four #1 pop singles in one 12-month period.  Three of the singles also crossed over to become #1 R&B hits as well.  Since its formation, the band has sold over 100 million records, earned nine Grammy nominations and won three Grammy Awards and an American Music Award for Best R&B Artist.

The Newport Concert Series at the Newport Yachting Center has announced 14 concerts to-date:  The Wailers & Rusted Root on Saturday, May 31st; Dierks Bentley – Riser 2014 Tour on Thursday, June 19th; Ziggy Marley – The Fly Rasta Tour on Friday, June 20th; KC and the Sunshine Band on Wednesday, July 9th; John Hiatt & The Combo and The Robert Cray Band on Saturday, July 12th; An Evening with YES on Sunday, July 13th; Barenaked Ladies on Friday, July 18th; The Machine performs Pink Floyd With the Interstellar Laser Show on Friday, July 25th; 3 Doors Down Acoustic – Songs From The Basement on Friday, August 1st; Boz Scaggs – The Memphis Tour on Wednesday, August 6th; Gregg Allman with Special Guest Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band on Sunday, August 10th; Josh Turner’s Roughstock and Rambler Tour (presented by Ariat) on Thursday, August 14th; The Beach Boys on Saturday, August 16th; and Chris Young With Special Guest Courtney Cole on Saturday, September
