ADULT EVENTS
TEWKSBURY JOB SEEKERS NETWORK – How To Build A Professional Network ON ZOOM (*RR)
Monday, July 13, 2pm
Learn the importance and value of building a professional network and its positive impacts on job-seeking. It goes beyond Facebook and LinkedIn. Although we are taught to control what we can control, the stark fact is that much of our success and satisfaction cannot be done alone. Let’s concentrate on what can be controlled in our immediate environment. We need a sphere of influence to get past the potential roadblocks in front of us. Attendees will walk away from this webinar knowing how to make genuine connections, not name gathering or meeting checklist accomplishments that will spur future relationships to advance their careers. Attendees will also discover key concepts of professional networking, including (1) how to influence key decision-makers, (2) how to drive your own career, (3) how to allow the network to do much of the work for you; and (4) how networking doesn't have to be as difficult as you think. Led by Thomas Dowd (aka "Transformation Tom"), a career coach and author of "Displacement Day: When My Job was Looking for a Job." Thomas enjoys sharing the lessons he learned on his climb up the corporate ladder to help people creatively find ways to differentiate themselves in the workplace and to find their own individual paths toward success. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

Fierce Females -- Women Artists That Have Broken The Mold ON ZOOM (*RR)
Tuesday, July 14, 7pm
Women have long been the subject of art, often depicted as nothing more than objects of desire. How do images of women change when women become the creators? This program examines the history of women in art in brief and then explores the lives, careers and works of several major women artists from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, including Artemisia Gentileschi and Mary Cassatt. Jane Oneail, owner of Culturally Curious, holds a Master’s in Art History from Boston University and a Master’s in Education from the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. She is a New Hampshire native and has worked at some of the state’s most esteemed cultural institutions, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, where she served as Executive Director, and the Currier Museum of Art, where she held the role of Senior Educator. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Tewksbury Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

An Examination Of American Art (1776-1900) ON ZOOM (*RR)
Wednesday, July 15, 10:30am
The United States was not founded by schooled artists, but by people seeking freedom and adventure. American artists have been like America itself, pioneering, bold, and independent. Early American artists had their roots firmly planted in European traditions but explored their own frontiers and evolved their own unique flavor, forged in the struggles of the birth of a nation. Join us for a look at the roots of American Art from 1776 until 1900 with its pioneering courage, independent drive, and rebellious spirit. Jane Blair founded ArtMatters in 2001 to share her enthusiasm and love of art. She has a BFA from Boston University and a MFA from University of Illinois. She has been an art educator in many fine art studio disciplines as well as Art History, Art Appreciation, Computer Art, Photography, and Graphic Illustration. She is married to fellow art lover and artist, Wilber Blair and they have a daughter Rebekah who is very excited to be joining the ArtMatters team. A miniature black poodle named Emma is the true power behind the throne. Sponsored by the Tewksbury Community of Artists and the Friends of the Library.

Laughter Circle ON FACEBOOK
Wednesday, July 15, noon
This program is for all ages. This program combines voluntary laughter exercises with gentle breathing techniques to teach the body how to laugh without relying on jokes or humor. This is a participatory program where we will create moments to laugh in through guided actions. No need to bring a yoga mat--most of the program is seated, with options for standing or gentle movement. What are the benefits of laughter? Mood elevates. Stress, depression and tension decrease. Immunity improves. Lung capacity increases through deep breathing, enhancing oxygen delivery to all parts of the body. Endorphin and serotonin levels rise. Laughter provides an excellent internal massage to digestive tract as well as improving blood supply to the internal organs. People who laugh don’t worry as much as people who don’t laugh.

The Faces Of The American Revolution: John Singelton Copley's Famous Portraits ON ZOOM (*RR)
