SUMMARY:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ Artists on the Cape
DESCRIPTION:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod.\nEXHIBIT: May 23 to June 21\, 2026\nOPENING RECEPTION: May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nOutside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod. Artists such as Joerg Dressler\, Beth Faherty\, Fran O’Neill\, and Paul Rizzo\, among many other skilled creatives\, will showcase their work at Cotuit Center for the Arts from May 23 to June 21\, 2026\, with an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nThe Outside Straight Lines biennial exhibit arose out of concern that much of LGBTQ+ art across the Cape has been unintentionally segregated to Provincetown\, often forcing those showing their work outside of this Queer Mecca into self-censorship throughout other venues of the Cape. In a time of book banning of LGBTQ+ literature\, erasures of crosswalks\, and blatant attacks on trans rights\, this showcase has acted as an affirmation of collective LGBTQ+ expression. With support from the Mid-Cape Cultural Council\, GSAs across Cape high schools have been invited to view this powerful exhibit. \nAccording to curator David Cravenho\, “I am impressed by our LGBTQ+ Community for its strength and resilience. Growing up queer as a child and navigating life through the lens of a straight world is quite the feat.” This exhibit not only hosts 13 Queer artists in a single space but also celebrates the vast diversity of our Queer Cape Cod community–from the expressionist figure to the realistic Cape Cod landscape. Cravenho believes strongly in art’s ability to armor oneself: “Becoming an adult as an artist and putting on your survival mechanism to express your power through your work is a gift from beyond ourselves.” \nJoin artists for an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3-5pm\, or drop by Cotuit Center for the Arts between May 23 and June 21\, 2026 during visiting times to view this powerful visual collection of LGBTQ+ voices. \nMark Adams \nJoerg Dressler \nBeth Faherty \nKenneth Hawkey \nMegan Hinton \nPete Hocking \nMarc Kundmann \nFran O’Neill \nPaul Rizzo \nChristopher Sousa \nAlan Trugman \nForrest Williams \nLaurence Young \nSponsored by the Mass Cultural Council and the Mid-Cape Cultural Council

SUMMARY:Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum
DESCRIPTION:Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum\nSeptember 23\, October 22\, November 5\, November 13\nLocation: JFK Hyannis Museum – Scudder Family Center for Civic Engagement (second floor)\nAttendance: In-person or via Zoom\nCost: Free to members and non-members\nRegistration: RSVP requested. Please register below. \nSeptember 23 \n\nBook Talk with Christopher Mirabile: Author of “The Holdfast” & “The Washashore” \n\n\nJoin us for Coffee @ the Kennedy Museum as we welcome back Cape author Christopher Mirabile for a discussion of the latest installment in his Silas Lopez mystery series. Set once again against the distinctive backdrop of Provincetown\, the novel follows newly appointed Police Chief Silas Lopez as the seemingly natural death of an elderly homeowner leads him into a troubling web of suspicious property deals\, missing records\, shell corporations\, and intimidation. \nOctober 22 \nThe John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum is thrilled to host renowned photographer Mark Chester at this Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum event\, where he discusses his latest book and photography project “The Bay State: A Multicultural Landscape” \nSet in the Museum’s gallery where Chester’s photographs are currently on exhibit\, he will be in conversation with Carmina Mock\, one of the featured people in his book\, to discuss both sides of Chester’s photographs—his perspective as a photographer documenting the cultural diversity of Massachusetts\, and hers as the subject and an immigrant from Spain and naturalized citizen on Cape Cod. \nJoin them as they discuss\, both from a broad and personally specific perspective\, the importance of cultural diversity in Massachusetts. They (and you) will be surrounded by 30 of Chester’s photographs drawn from a larger collection of more than 300 images depicting naturalized American citizens living in Massachusetts\, depicting them in their communities\, at work\, at play\, and even occasionally in the midst of their naturalization ceremonies. \nMeet the author\, enjoy fresh coffee and have your book signed! \nNovember 5 \n\nBook Talk with Authors Captain W. Russell “Russ” Webster and Theresa M. Webster \n\n\nJoin us for Coffee @ the Kennedy Museum on November 5th at 10:30 AM as we welcome Authors of The last flight: The Untold Story of THE SEARCH FOR JFK JR. and the Race Against the Atlantic. \nGet an inside account of the JFK Jr. search that gripped the nation. On a hazy July night in 1999\, John F. Kennedy Jr.\, his wife Carolyn\, and her sister Lauren vanished over the waters off Martha’s Vineyard–triggering a national vigil and one of the most ambitious search operations in American history. For days\, the world watched and waited. \nBut the full story of what happened after the crash has never been told–until now. \nBook signing to follow the event. \nNovember 13 \n\nCoffee @ The Kennedy Museum with Joel Nelson \n\n\nJoin us for a cup of coffee as author and historian Joel Nelson discusses his newly book Kennedy’s Only Hero: How JFK’s Obsession with Winston Churchill Defined His Presidency. \nDrawing on previously unpublished archival material\, British historian Joel tells the story of how Churchill’s career\, writings\, policies\, and even daily habits profoundly shaped the future President. Under Churchill’s influence\, Kennedy shed his early isolationism and developed the worldview that would propel him to the White House — his conviction in peace through strength\, his faith in summits\, his understanding of rhetoric\, his commitment to service and global engagement. \nNelson\, a former Kennedy Scholar and assistant editor at Foreign Affairs journal\, he currently lives in London. \nMeet the author\, enjoy fresh coffee and have your book signed!

SUMMARY:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ Artists on the Cape
DESCRIPTION:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod.\nEXHIBIT: May 23 to June 21\, 2026\nOPENING RECEPTION: May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nOutside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod. Artists such as Joerg Dressler\, Beth Faherty\, Fran O’Neill\, and Paul Rizzo\, among many other skilled creatives\, will showcase their work at Cotuit Center for the Arts from May 23 to June 21\, 2026\, with an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nThe Outside Straight Lines biennial exhibit arose out of concern that much of LGBTQ+ art across the Cape has been unintentionally segregated to Provincetown\, often forcing those showing their work outside of this Queer Mecca into self-censorship throughout other venues of the Cape. In a time of book banning of LGBTQ+ literature\, erasures of crosswalks\, and blatant attacks on trans rights\, this showcase has acted as an affirmation of collective LGBTQ+ expression. With support from the Mid-Cape Cultural Council\, GSAs across Cape high schools have been invited to view this powerful exhibit. \nAccording to curator David Cravenho\, “I am impressed by our LGBTQ+ Community for its strength and resilience. Growing up queer as a child and navigating life through the lens of a straight world is quite the feat.” This exhibit not only hosts 13 Queer artists in a single space but also celebrates the vast diversity of our Queer Cape Cod community–from the expressionist figure to the realistic Cape Cod landscape. Cravenho believes strongly in art’s ability to armor oneself: “Becoming an adult as an artist and putting on your survival mechanism to express your power through your work is a gift from beyond ourselves.” \nJoin artists for an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3-5pm\, or drop by Cotuit Center for the Arts between May 23 and June 21\, 2026 during visiting times to view this powerful visual collection of LGBTQ+ voices. \nMark Adams \nJoerg Dressler \nBeth Faherty \nKenneth Hawkey \nMegan Hinton \nPete Hocking \nMarc Kundmann \nFran O’Neill \nPaul Rizzo \nChristopher Sousa \nAlan Trugman \nForrest Williams \nLaurence Young \nSponsored by the Mass Cultural Council and the Mid-Cape Cultural Council

SUMMARY:AUTHOR TALK: Anthony Sammarco "Inferno: Exploring the Great Boston Fire "
DESCRIPTION:Saturday November 7\, 2026\n1:00pm\,  Main Meeting Room\,   Osterville Village Library. \nJoin the Osterville Village Library in welcoming local author Anthony Sammarco as he gives a thrilling talk on Boston history! \nIn this program he discusses ‘The Great Boston Fire’\, a devastating fire that destroyed sixty-five acres of land in Boston\, from Washington Street\, between Summer Street and Milk Street\, fanning eastward towards the wharves projecting into Boston Harbor. The fire was said to have destroyed 776 buildings in Boston’s downtown\, causing over $73 million in damage (or $1\,682\,000\,000 in 2022 dollars)\, killing an estimated twenty people\, and leading to stricter building regulations in Boston. Fires have always been a constant source of anxiety\, but this inferno was cataclysmic and beyond the comprehension of many people. The city of Boston took action and appointed a city architect that would oversee all building in the city. \nAnthony Sammarco’s talks are always wildly popular and this one promises to be just that! For more information or to register for this program\, please contact Amy Wolfe at awolfe@clamsnet.org\nor by calling the OVL directly at (508)428-5757.

SUMMARY:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ Artists on the Cape
DESCRIPTION:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod.\nEXHIBIT: May 23 to June 21\, 2026\nOPENING RECEPTION: May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nOutside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod. Artists such as Joerg Dressler\, Beth Faherty\, Fran O’Neill\, and Paul Rizzo\, among many other skilled creatives\, will showcase their work at Cotuit Center for the Arts from May 23 to June 21\, 2026\, with an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nThe Outside Straight Lines biennial exhibit arose out of concern that much of LGBTQ+ art across the Cape has been unintentionally segregated to Provincetown\, often forcing those showing their work outside of this Queer Mecca into self-censorship throughout other venues of the Cape. In a time of book banning of LGBTQ+ literature\, erasures of crosswalks\, and blatant attacks on trans rights\, this showcase has acted as an affirmation of collective LGBTQ+ expression. With support from the Mid-Cape Cultural Council\, GSAs across Cape high schools have been invited to view this powerful exhibit. \nAccording to curator David Cravenho\, “I am impressed by our LGBTQ+ Community for its strength and resilience. Growing up queer as a child and navigating life through the lens of a straight world is quite the feat.” This exhibit not only hosts 13 Queer artists in a single space but also celebrates the vast diversity of our Queer Cape Cod community–from the expressionist figure to the realistic Cape Cod landscape. Cravenho believes strongly in art’s ability to armor oneself: “Becoming an adult as an artist and putting on your survival mechanism to express your power through your work is a gift from beyond ourselves.” \nJoin artists for an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3-5pm\, or drop by Cotuit Center for the Arts between May 23 and June 21\, 2026 during visiting times to view this powerful visual collection of LGBTQ+ voices. \nMark Adams \nJoerg Dressler \nBeth Faherty \nKenneth Hawkey \nMegan Hinton \nPete Hocking \nMarc Kundmann \nFran O’Neill \nPaul Rizzo \nChristopher Sousa \nAlan Trugman \nForrest Williams \nLaurence Young \nSponsored by the Mass Cultural Council and the Mid-Cape Cultural Council

SUMMARY:Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum
DESCRIPTION:Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum\nSeptember 23\, October 22\, November 5\, November 13\nLocation: JFK Hyannis Museum – Scudder Family Center for Civic Engagement (second floor)\nAttendance: In-person or via Zoom\nCost: Free to members and non-members\nRegistration: RSVP requested. Please register below. \nSeptember 23 \n\nBook Talk with Christopher Mirabile: Author of “The Holdfast” & “The Washashore” \n\n\nJoin us for Coffee @ the Kennedy Museum as we welcome back Cape author Christopher Mirabile for a discussion of the latest installment in his Silas Lopez mystery series. Set once again against the distinctive backdrop of Provincetown\, the novel follows newly appointed Police Chief Silas Lopez as the seemingly natural death of an elderly homeowner leads him into a troubling web of suspicious property deals\, missing records\, shell corporations\, and intimidation. \nOctober 22 \nThe John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum is thrilled to host renowned photographer Mark Chester at this Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum event\, where he discusses his latest book and photography project “The Bay State: A Multicultural Landscape” \nSet in the Museum’s gallery where Chester’s photographs are currently on exhibit\, he will be in conversation with Carmina Mock\, one of the featured people in his book\, to discuss both sides of Chester’s photographs—his perspective as a photographer documenting the cultural diversity of Massachusetts\, and hers as the subject and an immigrant from Spain and naturalized citizen on Cape Cod. \nJoin them as they discuss\, both from a broad and personally specific perspective\, the importance of cultural diversity in Massachusetts. They (and you) will be surrounded by 30 of Chester’s photographs drawn from a larger collection of more than 300 images depicting naturalized American citizens living in Massachusetts\, depicting them in their communities\, at work\, at play\, and even occasionally in the midst of their naturalization ceremonies. \nMeet the author\, enjoy fresh coffee and have your book signed! \nNovember 5 \n\nBook Talk with Authors Captain W. Russell “Russ” Webster and Theresa M. Webster \n\n\nJoin us for Coffee @ the Kennedy Museum on November 5th at 10:30 AM as we welcome Authors of The last flight: The Untold Story of THE SEARCH FOR JFK JR. and the Race Against the Atlantic. \nGet an inside account of the JFK Jr. search that gripped the nation. On a hazy July night in 1999\, John F. Kennedy Jr.\, his wife Carolyn\, and her sister Lauren vanished over the waters off Martha’s Vineyard–triggering a national vigil and one of the most ambitious search operations in American history. For days\, the world watched and waited. \nBut the full story of what happened after the crash has never been told–until now. \nBook signing to follow the event. \nNovember 13 \n\nCoffee @ The Kennedy Museum with Joel Nelson \n\n\nJoin us for a cup of coffee as author and historian Joel Nelson discusses his newly book Kennedy’s Only Hero: How JFK’s Obsession with Winston Churchill Defined His Presidency. \nDrawing on previously unpublished archival material\, British historian Joel tells the story of how Churchill’s career\, writings\, policies\, and even daily habits profoundly shaped the future President. Under Churchill’s influence\, Kennedy shed his early isolationism and developed the worldview that would propel him to the White House — his conviction in peace through strength\, his faith in summits\, his understanding of rhetoric\, his commitment to service and global engagement. \nNelson\, a former Kennedy Scholar and assistant editor at Foreign Affairs journal\, he currently lives in London. \nMeet the author\, enjoy fresh coffee and have your book signed!

SUMMARY:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ Artists on the Cape
DESCRIPTION:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod.\nEXHIBIT: May 23 to June 21\, 2026\nOPENING RECEPTION: May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nOutside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod. Artists such as Joerg Dressler\, Beth Faherty\, Fran O’Neill\, and Paul Rizzo\, among many other skilled creatives\, will showcase their work at Cotuit Center for the Arts from May 23 to June 21\, 2026\, with an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nThe Outside Straight Lines biennial exhibit arose out of concern that much of LGBTQ+ art across the Cape has been unintentionally segregated to Provincetown\, often forcing those showing their work outside of this Queer Mecca into self-censorship throughout other venues of the Cape. In a time of book banning of LGBTQ+ literature\, erasures of crosswalks\, and blatant attacks on trans rights\, this showcase has acted as an affirmation of collective LGBTQ+ expression. With support from the Mid-Cape Cultural Council\, GSAs across Cape high schools have been invited to view this powerful exhibit. \nAccording to curator David Cravenho\, “I am impressed by our LGBTQ+ Community for its strength and resilience. Growing up queer as a child and navigating life through the lens of a straight world is quite the feat.” This exhibit not only hosts 13 Queer artists in a single space but also celebrates the vast diversity of our Queer Cape Cod community–from the expressionist figure to the realistic Cape Cod landscape. Cravenho believes strongly in art’s ability to armor oneself: “Becoming an adult as an artist and putting on your survival mechanism to express your power through your work is a gift from beyond ourselves.” \nJoin artists for an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3-5pm\, or drop by Cotuit Center for the Arts between May 23 and June 21\, 2026 during visiting times to view this powerful visual collection of LGBTQ+ voices. \nMark Adams \nJoerg Dressler \nBeth Faherty \nKenneth Hawkey \nMegan Hinton \nPete Hocking \nMarc Kundmann \nFran O’Neill \nPaul Rizzo \nChristopher Sousa \nAlan Trugman \nForrest Williams \nLaurence Young \nSponsored by the Mass Cultural Council and the Mid-Cape Cultural Council
