HANDS: An exhibition at Cotuit Center for the Arts
September 20 – November 2

Cotuit Center for the Arts announces a special exhibition to be mounted in conjunction with the Cape Cod premiere of the documentary film See What Iʼm Saying:The Deaf Entertainerʼs Documentary.

 The art exhibit will be the first in the newly dubbed “Art Above the Sails” gallery on the
second level of the Theater.

The theme of this exhibit is HANDS. As the primary method of deaf communication is
through signing and the use of hands, this exhibit will be an powerful compliment to the
screening. Even more significant is the launch of an ongoing series of workshops and
programs specifically designed for the deaf and hearing impaired. Our Center will serve
as an enriching visual cultural setting.

For more information about submitting artwork for the exhibit, please contact us by phone at 508-428-0669 or by email at info@cotuitcenterforthearts.org

Don’t let it be forgot that once there was a spot for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot.” 

Cotuit Center for the Arts is pleased to announce our Gallery exhibit, AMERICAN CAMELOT, designed to complement our terrific production of the classic musical Camelot. The exhibit features rare photographs from the JFK Library and Museum in Boston and works on loan from the JFK Hyannis Museum Foundation, as well as contributions from local Cape Cod artists that reflect the Kennedys’ very personal connection to Cape Cod. Contributors include David Lewis, the artist and sculptor who designed the statue of JFK that appears in front of the museum on Hyannis, who will trace the project from start to finish through personal correspondence with the Kennedy family.  A limited edition of one of Ted Kennedy’s paintings of his beloved Mya will also be displayed, along with many pieces by local artists that demonstrate what a deep human connection the Kennedy dynasty had on people of all walks of life, and how they longed for what might have been.

 Wander through our gallery and enjoy an exhibit inspired by a period of hope and optimism. Whether it was the time of the Knights of the Round Table or the John F. Kennedy years, Camelot’s theme of a lost, great society certainly strikes a chord in all of us. For an earlier view of this poignant exhibit, please consider joining us for our gala benefit, Entertainment Tonight, on July 31^st from 6:30pm to 10:30pm. We will officially unveil the exhibit during this event and offer a sneak preview of Camelot along with great food, wine, art, dance and entertainment.  Tickets for Camelot and Entertainment Tonight are available on our website, www.artsonthecape.com.
