BUY A BRICK! And leave your mark on the Griffin

Posted on January 5, 2017

Due to popular demand we are opening back up the “Buy a Brick” Program.

Once we have accumulated enough orders we will process a bulk order of engraved bricks to be placed into the Griffin’s walkway that leads to the Griffin Museum’s  opens in a new windowWinchester Rotary Terrace. There’s plenty of room and we welcome your tribute inscriptions. More than likely the orders will be processed in Spring 2019.

 

brick walkwayWe anticipated that the terrace will beautify the Shore Road neighborhood. It has. We also saw the terrace as a means to extending our current policy of offering more of our facility to our visitors and the community at large. It has! The terrace has improve the Griffin Museum’s visibility in the community as well as improved the museum’s footprint at water’s edge in tandem to the Conservation Commission’s enhancements around the Judkin’s Pond area on which the Griffin is located. The beautiful brick walkway is at the entrance to the Griffin Museum’s Winchester Rotary Terrace.

The Winchester Rotary gave us half of the money for the project and we raised the money to match their $33,000. The terrace is built and in use. Winchester Rotary also donated furniture and paid to add flower gardens to make the terrace a relaxing place to visit. The Griffin Foundation donated money for the landscaping. Many donors gave generously.  We welcome you to enjoy the terrace. You may also purchase a brick and leave an inscription, in honor of someone, in memory of someone, to celebrate an anniversary of some kind. Give a brick as a gift!

The bricks are standard 4 inch by 8 inch red bricks and can hold up to three lines of text. Each line has a maximum of twenty characters (including spaces). So have fun, make a memory all for a good cause. The price is $125 including inscription. Your gift is tax-deductible. Order here.

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
