Widely recognized as the greatest practitioner of the etching technique in the history of art, Rembrandt created 300 prints that constitute a body of work unparalleled in richness and beauty. 2006, is the anniversary of Rembrandt’s 400th birthday. Rembrandt repeatedly chose beggars as the subject for his etchings. Dutch author, art historian, and editor of The Complete Etchings of Rembrandt, Gary Schwartz, in his essay for the exhibition catalogue, writes “The image of the beggar in Netherlandish art was no better than in society as a whole. It would not then have been out of line with the convictions of his society, with Netherlandish artistic tradition or classical art theory, had Rembrandt depicted beggars as contemptible or loathsome creatures. Indeed, some of his work fits perfectly well into.” 101 Museum Drive, 757- 596-8175, www.pfac-va.org.

  • Dear Friends of the JCC's Jewish & Israeli Film Series, Hello! I'm
    Dear Friends of the JCC’s Jewish & Israeli Film Series, Hello! I’m Stephanie Bennett, the new coordinator of the Film Series. I am taking over for Monica Friess who led the series for the past eight years … As we embark on our 24th season, we want to thank you for your support. The festival continues to be a success because of the generosity of its sponsors. We are truly grateful. We hope that we can count on your support again this year. This year we are presenting a diverse array of films, including two children’s programs that are made possible by a grant from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. It is also important to thank the Lehigh Valley Arts Council for its role as administrators of this grant opportunity. Did you know that Curious George and Paddington Bear have Jewish roots? On February 7 we will present Monkey Business: The Adventures of Curious George’s Creators. Narrated by Sam Waterston, the film tells the story of Hans and Margret Rey, a Jewish couple who fled the Nazis and carried hidden with them the manuscript for what would become one of the best loved children’s books of all time. On March 20 we will show Nicky’s Family, which recounts how philanthropist Sir Nicholas Winton arranged safe passage for 669 Jewish children from Prague to England at the outset of WWII. This kindertransport served as inspiration for author Michael Bond, who based the beloved Paddington Bear character on children arriving in England awaiting placement in new homes.

QUICK THOUGHTS ● Marisa Serafini ● Phil Svitek DEVELOPMENT ● “I am thrilled to be back in the warm embrace of Paddington Bear, again under the inspired direction of Paul King. And I’m delighted to welcome Hugh and Brendan to our exceptional cast.” WRITING (Paul King, Simon Farnaby) ​ ● King had a writing ally this time in Simon Farnaby, an old pal from his days directing surreal BBC3 sitcom The Mighty Boosh ● “He doesn’t sleep during the year and a half of prep, shooting and post-production,” says David Heyman, Paddington’s producer.” - David Heyman ● “When I was writing the first film, I vaguely had the idea of a villain who might be a vain-actor-slash-master-of-disguise,” says King. “We abandoned the idea after about 20 minutes. It was always too much legwork. But when I started working with Simon Farnaby on this one, he really ran with it. He is very funny on actors and the ridiculousness of that trade.”- King STORY/TOPICS ● Popup book- Paddington getting job to purchase book ● Incarceration - Friends CAST: ​ BEN WHISHAW (Paddington) ​ ● “When I record the voice I’m wearing this kind of helmet, which has a huge arm on it and then a camera stuck on the arm recording my face,” says Whishaw.

    CONTACT: Madeline Ravich Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (773) 339-3600 [email protected] Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness launches be homeful for the holidays 2020 Heart-warming campaign gives people a way to offer homes and hope amidst the pandemic Hartford, CT, November 13, 2020 - The search is on for volunteers who want to help make sure that homelessness is a thing of the past this holiday season. The Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness has announced that it will once again be joining forces with the CT REALTORS® Foundation and United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut to engage people throughout Connecticut in holding Paddington “Bear-Raiser” drives to help local families. Paddington is CCEH’s official “Spokesbear” for the be homeful project, which engages kids, families, and communities in learning about how homelessness affects local children and taking action to help. From now through December, for every $25 donated, a cuddly Paddington plush will be gifted to a child in a Connecticut shelter. Thanks to a generous sponsorship from the CT REALTORS® Foundation, funds raised can go directly to provide much-needed emergency “shelter diversion” funds that frontline workers can access to help local families remain housed. Drives can be held virtually using badges that volunteers can download and share on social media. “It’s amazing to think that this campaign has helped spread holiday cheer to more than 5000 children and give homes to more than 1000 families,” said Sandy Maier Schede, 2020 CT REALTORS® Foundation Chair at the CT REALTORS® Foundation’s annual Board of Director’s meeting, where Connecticut’s real estate community launched its annual association- wide Paddington bear-raiser.
