Somebody call the Copts! Professional book binder and featured "Show and Tell: The Art of the Narrative" artist Joseph Darensbourg will give a fascinating talk and performance focused on the art of storytelling according to different cultures and traditions. During "Beyond the Book" Joe will talk about some of the bardic (musical storytellers) traditions, play the Oud (mid eastern Lute), violin and drum.

Ever wonder how illustrations for children's books are created? Join us for a presentation by featured "Show and Tell: The Art of the Narrative" artist Donna Berger. She will read one of the stories she illustrated and demonstrate the process behind it. Donna works as a freelance illustrator, designer and marketing consultant at Western Avenue Studios in Lowell, MA. She creates illustrations and designs for picture books and children's publications, and design and marketing materials for business clients. Her tools include a digitizing tablet, creative software on a Macintosh computer along with traditional drawing and paint media.

The Revolving Museum (TRM) in collaboration with the Youth Dance Company (YDC) presents, “A Choreographer's Muse: The Body Talks”. YDC dancers will perform four pieces, followed by a discussion with the choreographers who will speak about dance as it relates to storytelling and their personal motivation for creating the piece they choreographed. The event will conclude with a light reception giving audience members the opportunity to speak one-on-one with the performers and chorographers.

Flower Donations

It is that time of year again and The Revolving Museum's Garden of Big Ideas and Earthly Delights is ready for Spring. In order to make it another blossoming year we need your help with donated materials. Items still needed include gradual perennial plant food, compost, and flowers such as impatiens, geraniums, periwinkle and other annuals for large planters. We also need a shovel, leaf rake and a few sets of garden gloves. If you would like to make a donation please contact Elaina Bates at ebates@revolvingmuseum.org.
