Art | Back To Top | |
| “Student Interpretation of the Nichols School Collection,” featuring artwork by various artists | ||
| Fri. Jan 18 to Sat. Mar 23 | ||
| This exhibition incorporates work from Nichols School’s five permanent art collections and new work by current students. The students studied the artists and the work in the Nichols School Collection and after reviewing the artwork, each student selected a piece to use as inspiration for their project. Each student developed and executed the project based on their interpretation of the original collection artwork. The exhibition will feature a selection of student work alongside the collection piece that inspired it. “The Nichols School Art Collection is a highly exceptional survey of work in all media by artists who are acclaimed locally, nationally and internationally,” said Gerald Mead, art collector and independent curator. “Displayed throughout the school campus, it provides an invaluable opportunity for students, faculty and staff to continually encounter and be inspired by original works of art. This encyclopedic collection, particularly rich with exemplary work by many of Western New York’s most prominent artists, has been described as ‘hidden in plain sight.’ Perhaps it is that spirit of discovery with which these works are viewed in the school’s hallways, offices and classrooms that make this important collection all the more special.” In the Boocock Reading Room, the work of internationally acclaimed contemporary artist, Laylah Ali ’86, shares a wall with the beloved area artist, Catherine Koenig. In the Upper School faculty room, works by Salvatore Dali hang, and in the Middle School faculty room, Charles Burchfield’s work on paper, “Plan for a Toy Bank,” can be examined as one pours coffee. Nichols has a commitment to art that extends beyond its studios and curriculum. The diaspora of artwork in offices, classrooms, hallways, lecture halls and more mark the importance of art at the school. The question was posed: How has this work, which is part of a rich and dedicated tradition at Nichols, remained hidden to many of its students and the greater community for years? The exhibit will feature artwork from the Nichols School Collection, which includes work by Monica Angle, Jim Bird, Catherine Koenig, Grace McKendry, Catherine Parker, Walter Prochownik and Peter Stephens, in addition to various works by current Nichols School students. Opening reception is Thursday, Feb. 7 The show runs Jan. 18 through March 23; gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. h/c access | ||

| Music by RICHARD RODGERS Book & Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMRESTEIN II Original Dances by AGNES DE MILLE Based on the play “Green Grow the Lilacs" by LYNN RIGGS Produced by LANCASTER OPERA HOUSE Celebrate the 70th Anniversary of this classic musical. Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century. Although the road to true love never runs smoothly, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. With a wonderful score including “People Will Say We're in Love”, “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' ”, and of course the rousing title song, this show set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Tickets: $22 Adult, $20 Student/Senior h/c access, $ | ||

| New Play Workshop Selection March 1 – March 24, 2013 A World Premiere Play by Donna Hoke Directed Kristen Tripp Kelley Married PhD scientist Marjorie has been trying to get pregnant for years, while her single, identical twin Josephine has three children by three different fathers. Fed up with infertility and pressure from her otherwise ideal husband Aidan to have children, Marjorie starts to wonder: is it so wrong to not want to be a parent? Aidan – never fully at ease with being adopted himself – isn’t ready to give up his quest for a biological child. When Josephine offers egg donor surrogacy as the “ideal” solution, salesman Aidan gives the pitch of his life and convinces his hesitant wife to inseminate Josephine personally – in their living room – an awkward scenario which prompts a recollection of a long-ago encounter that sheds new light on Aidan and Jo’s unspoken bond. Aidan and Jo bond over the resulting pregnancy, but Marjorie is unable to connect to the idea of motherhood. When baby Joseph is born early and with serious health issues, Aidan embraces his new role as a father, but Marjorie’s inability to accept the situation is obvious, particularly to sister Jo and their mother, Kay, a dubious role model for motherhood herself. As fears over Joseph’s prognosis increases, the insecurities that brought the sisters to this point come to the fore… and Marjorie’s crisis of faith may prove insurmountable… The decision that Marjorie and Josephine arrive at makes for the potent resolution to this unique and moving family drama… h/c access, $ | ||
