World War II 
It can be hard to believe that only twenty years after the horrors and devastation of World War I, and the lessons learned from it, the world went to war again. Did the terms of the Treaty of Versailles indeed provoke this, or is there more to the story? What was the appeasement policy of the 1930’s? An examination of these events as well as the stages, operations, and theaters of the war will help us understand how the very alliance that secured victory over the Axis powers evolved into the deadly arms race and threats of the ensuing Cold War. Instructor: Nancy Maxwell (scroll down for bio). 
2 Sessions $41 (Ridgefield Seniors and Disabled pay $35) 
Fri., 5/8 and 15 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Zoom.

Ridgefield Library

Exhibit:&nbsp; April 24th through May 23rd during regular Library hours
Artists Reception: Saturday, April 25th, 2:00-4:00 pm.&nbsp; All are invited to drop by!<a href="https://ridgefieldlibrary.librarymarket.com/event/art-exhibit-kathy-coe-137981" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">More info.</a>
Kathy Coe paints with an eye for both likeness and spirit. Her portraits, still lifes and figural works don’t simply capture appearances – they reveal personality, presence and the quiet truths of her subjects. Working from life and guided by natural shifting light, Coe builds her compositions intuitively, rather than imposing a fixed plan; she follows feeling, allowing each painting to unfold into its own mood and voice.
Trained at the Du Cret School of the Arts and the National Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Coe studied with masters including Furman Finck, Ron Sherr, Harvey Dinnerstein and Mary Beth McKenzie. The foundation in rigorous observation is matched by her gift for color and atmosphere – subtle harmonies that give her paintings both intimacy and radiance.
Throughout her career, Coe has received numerous honors, among them the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant, the Edward Mooney Traveling Scholarship, the National Academy Lorraine Grace Award and Helen M. Loggi Award, the James Sudan Bronze Medal, and the Salmagundi Silver Medal for drawing.
Kathy Coe is represented by George Billis Gallery in NYC and Gtown Arts in Georgetown, CT. To see Kathy’s work please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://kathycoe.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kathycoe.com</a>&nbsp;and Instagram @Kathy_Coe.

Charis’s Artistic Director, Jeremy Wiggins, conducts, accompanied by Terence J. Flanagan at the piano.
The all-American program includes Howard Hanson’s Song of Democracy, his setting of a Walt Whitman poem that celebrates the country’s youth, vigor, and destiny. Fern Hill, by John Corigliano, on a poem by Dylan Thomas, is a nostalgic evocation of childhood with just a hint of what was to come. Works by Aaron Copland and Randall Thompson and familiar American favorites round out the program. 
Charis’s famous wine and cheese reception will follow each concert. We look forward to sharing this birthday bash with you!
Tickets are $25 ($20 for seniors and $15 for students). They may be purchased in advance through the Charis website, <a href="https://www.CharisVocals.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.charisvocals.com</a>, or at the door.
