Connecticut Humanities (CTH), a non-profit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), has awarded a Quick Grant for $3500 to support dynamic programs accompanying the exhibition. Robin Jaffee Frank, Director of Strategy and Development, said “We’re most grateful to the Connecticut Humanities for funding programs—a keynote lecture, a moderated panel discussion, and a family day of storytelling—that will engage visitors of every age and explore the benefits of art, creativity, and discovery across generations.” ReFRAMING Aging will debunk myths about aging, deepen visitors’ understanding of why lifelong creativity matters, and inspire intergenerational bonds—illuminating what it means to age creatively in our youth- oriented society when people are living longer. The public is invited to the opening reception and keynote lecture by James Kaufman, Ph.D., on Sat., Feb. 16 from 2 – 4 pm. As it nears its centenary, Silvermine is shining a light on its true legacy and the vital role artists’ communities play in American culture.

  • A Short Learning Css3 Animations
    A SHORT LEARNING CSS3 ANIMATIONS What is CSS3 Animations? With CSS animations now upheld in both Firefox and Webkit programs, there is no better time to try it out. Despite its specialized structure, whether customary, machine created 3-D, Flash or CSS, animation dependably takes after the same fundamental standards. In this article, we will make our first strides with CSS animations and consider the primary rules for making animation with CSS. We'll be working through an illustration, developing the animation by using the standards of conventional animations. Nowdays, so many options are available for learning css3 animation concepts and effects.CSS animation is used to add more effective and eye-catching website. At last, we'll see some certifiable utilization. CSS Animation Properties Before jumping into the subtle elements, how about setting up the fundamental CSS and learning CSS3 Animations: Animation is another CSS property that takes into consideration activity of most HTML components, (for example, div, h1 and compass) without Javascript or Flash. Right now, it's underpinned in Webkit programs, including Safari 4+, Safari for (ios 2+), Chrome 1+ and, all the more as of late, Firefox 5. Unsupported programs will just overlook your animation code, so guarantee that your page doesn't depend on it! Since the development is still moderately new, prefixes for the program merchants are needed. As such, the linguistic structure is precisely the same for every program, with just a prefix change needed. In the code cases beneath, the -webkit language structure has been used. The most recent Css3 properties have opened a large number of new routes to web originators and engineers.
