SUMMARY:Artist Talk & Book Signing with Lee Anne White - Smithgall Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:Hear from Lee Anne White about her exhibit Deeply Rooted: An Intimate Portrait of Place and Breathing with the Moon\, a photography book. \nBreathing with the Moon was photographed among the southernmost of the Sea Islands\, along Florida’s northernmost Atlantic Coast. What began as an exploration of place evolved into a meditation on time—history\, observable change and the natural rhythms that shape our experience of time. Key among those rhythms is the tide\, whose ebb and flow is most affected by the pull of the moon and which not only influences the life of plants\, animals and humans\, but continuously reshapes the islands themselves. \nLee Anne White is a photographer and writer whose work is rooted in the landscape—the terrain\, what grows there\, the history of the land and our connection to place.

SUMMARY:Homeschool Intensive Class: Surviving Winter - NEGA History Center
DESCRIPTION:*In Lieu of Homeschool Day*\nSurviving Winter: Homeschool Intensive Class\nGrades 6–12 \nTwo class options are available (each class is capped at 30 students to ensure a quality experience): \n• 10:00–11:15 AM\n• 11:45 AM–1:00 PM \nPrice: $20 per Student for members | $25 per Student for non-members \nJoin us for an immersive homeschool intensive class focused on how people throughout history survived the challenges of winter. This engaging\, hands-on class will give students the opportunity to step back in time and explore the skills\, knowledge\, and resourcefulness needed to live through cold months before modern conveniences. \nThe class will be led by Alexander Bryant of SARCRAFT\, a wilderness skills school based in Canton that specializes in traditional survival skills and outdoor education. Students will learn through direct participation in an outdoor setting\, gaining a deeper understanding of historical winter survival methods such as shelter considerations\, staying warm\, and practical decision-making in cold environments. \nThis class is designed to be interactive and educational\, encouraging curiosity\, critical thinking\, and hands-on learning. It is well suited for middle and high school students who enjoy history\, outdoor skills\, and experiential learning. Participants should be prepared to be outdoors for the duration of the class and dressed appropriately for winter weather. \nThis intensive offers a unique opportunity for homeschool students to learn history and survival skills in a memorable\, real-world setting guided by an experienced instructor. \nThis is a drop off class\, but parents are welcome to observe from inside the History Center. \nMUST PRE-REGISTER; LIMITED CAPACITY
