Through Time and Place: Rachel Ellis Kaufman and Heather Blume
Heather Blume
Co-curated by Susan Kurtzman and PAAM Executive Director Christine McCarthy, Through Time and Place features work by local artist Heather Blume and her late mother, Rachel Ellis Kaufman, highlighting both the similarities and subtle nuances between the work of these two highly skilled and distinctly Cape Cod artists.
The exhibit, which will be on display from March 23 - May 13, 2012, includes a variety of media, including sculpture, oil painting, and woodblock prints and explores the invisible influences of a mother/daughter relationship as seen through the generations of their art.
Despite having never exhibited together, Blume and Kaufman influenced each other greatly, and created bodies of work that have parallel narratives with the natural world of Cape Cod. "It is [Kaufman's] love of the Cape, where she returned year after year, that provided great inspiration for her work, as well as the work of her daughter, Heather Blume," Says Susan.

Will Hyannis Get The Cultural District Designation It So Obviously Deserves?
by Nicola Burnell and Melissa Hersh
If you've taken a walk along Hyannis' Main Street lately, passed the cafes and restaurants, bookstores, specialty shops and galleries, you will have felt the buzz of anticipation. This area is poised for what many local artists and residents have been working towards for years… state designation as a Cultural District.
"The Cultural District application is currently in process," explains Melissa Hersh, Barnstable's Arts and Culture Coordinator. "The application passed the Massachusetts Cultural Council's internal review, and we have a site visit scheduled for May 1."
The MCC Board will meet on May 22. Approval to change the current name from the HyArts District to the HyArts Cultural District will hopefully come through shortly after that date.
