Parting Shot
by Chronogram
Every year, members of Congress choose art by young people in their district for the Congressional Art Competition, which culminates in a year-long exhibition in the Capitol building in Washington, DC. Since 1982, more than 650,000 students have participated in this prestigious competition. This year, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney chose Anneke Chan’s painting Pool Party to represent New York‘s 18th district. Chan is a recent graduate of Haldane High School in Cold Spring, where she was salutatorian of her class; she plans to pursue a dual degree in studio art and anthropology at Tufts University in the fall. Chan credits The Art Effect’s Senior Project Course for helping to sharpen her skills as an artist. Chan is also the winner of the first Magazzino Education Scholarship, and she will be interning at the modern art museum in Cold Spring this summer.

HILDEGARD OF BINGEN: MASTER OF HEALING AND VISIONARY ARTS
A DAY RETREAT WITH A TIMELESS WISDOM TEACHER
Animated by Kathleen Noone Deignan, CND
Saint Hildegard von Bingen is an acclaimed “Doctor of the Church” — a spiritual master & mentor of sacred wisdom — an honor shared with only three other women: Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Catherine of Siena, & Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Join us to explore the legacy of this “Teutonic Prophetess,” who speaks with great relevance in her courageous ability to discern the signs of the times, her love for creation, her feminine reading of sacred mysteries, her medicine and healing arts, her poetry, her unique modes of chant and liturgical theater, her visionary prophecy, her innovative and original reading of sacred scripture & teaching, her defense of the dignity of outliers & unbelievers, her reformation spirit, her leadership in founding a new community of creative women, & her coining a new, secret language — “lingua incognita” — to speak of Unspeakable Mystery in a uniquely feminine way.
