As part of Poetry in the Garden's 2025 season, "Declarations 2025 - Resilience & Rage: Voices from Marginalized America," KTM&HC and Ridgefield Poet Laureate Emerita Barb Jennes are proud to host Natasha Gambrell, Tribal Councilor of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation, one of five recognized tribes in Connecticut.

Gambrell will perform and explain the Eastern Blanket, Jingle, and Northern Traditional dances, among others. The poet/educator often demonstrates these dances at schools, powwows and other public gatherings in order to keep her tribe's rich cultural history alive - a crucial pursuit in the marginalized Indigenous community. "We will not disappear," she explains. "It's up to us to carry the nation on our backs." 

A Q&A session suitable for all ages will follow.

Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center is sited on the ancestral homelands of the Ramapough, Munsee Lenape, and Wiechquaesgeck people.

Tickets go on sale this spring, with special pricing for children 12 and under.

Natasha Gambrell is a Tribal Councilor of the Eastern Pequot Nation. A 2015 graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University, Gambrell teaches high school English and has been actively involved in the Eastern Pequot archaeology field study since 2008. Passionate about representing her tribe, telling their story, and helping the next generation, Gambrell proudly demonstrates and explains the traditional dances of her people.

Commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with "Poetry in the Garden - Resilience & Rage: Voices from Marginalized America." Each Monday evening in July, nationally acclaimed poets will share works that explore how historically oppressed communities have been denied the Declaration of Independence's promised "inalienable rights."

On July 7, we welcome the voices of Indigenous activists to the ancestral homelands of the Ramapough, Munsee Lenape, and Wiechquaesgeck people. Poets Kimberly Blaeser and Denise Lowe will read from their recent collections. The evening will also include a performance of traditional dance by Eastern Pequot Tribal Councilor Natasha Gambrell. A Q&A session will follow each reading; poets’ books will be available for signing.

Free for all! Bring a lawn chair or blanket to enjoy the readings, held in KTM&HC’s beautiful walled garden. In the event of inclement weather, the reading will move inside the Garden House.

The Ridgefield Guild of Artists and The Keeler Tavern Museum join together to present an exhibition of work inspired by the 250th birthday of America. The show will be at The Keeler Tavern Museum.

Anonymous Society is pleased to present If / Only / And / Then, a dynamic new exhibition featuring a dynamic new exhibition featuring work in painting, mixed

media, and ceramics by Sonja Langford (North Carolina / Connecticut), Faye Pamintuan (Philippines / Texas / New York), and Rachel Volpone (Connecticut). Running from June 5 through July 20, 2025, the exhibition traces how the language we carry—spoken, unspoken, imagined—shapes the course of our lives, offering a means to reauthor the self in moments of both fierce protection and quiet surrender, in pursuit of deeper becoming.

This show centers on the moments that define us—the decisions, disruptions, and relationships that shape identity in all its complexity. The featured art works engage with transformation, personal mythology, constructed identity, and the radical authorship of self in systems that have long erased, commodified, or distorted the female voice. If / Only / And / Then doesn’t seek resolution—it charts direction, carving out space through bold, deliberate acts of imagination.

Through diverse media, Langford, Pamintuan, and Volpone offer work that resists containment. Whether abstract, narrative, or conceptual, their practices ask how we locate ourselves—and each other—within shifting cultural landscapes. The exhibition invites viewers into an evolving dialogue about identity, memory, and possibility, offering a space where complexity is not only acknowledged but honored.

Join us at Anonymous Society for the opening reception on Thursday, June 5, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Anonymous Society is an independent exhibition space committed to showcasing contemporary art that challenges convention, amplifies creative voices, and fosters critical dialogue.

Gallery hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 12 PM to 5 PM, Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM, or by appointment. For more information, visit  www.anonymoussocietygallery.com or email info@anonymoussocietygallery.com.

As part of Poetry in the Garden's 2025 season, "Declarations 2025 - Resilience & Rage: Voices from Marginalized America," KTM&HC and Ridgefield Poet Laureate Emerita Barb Jennes are proud to host a series of poetry workshops in the month of July. Participants can learn, discuss, and create with some of the country's most prominent poetic voices.

On Monday, July 14, National Book Award winner Martin Espada's workshop will focus on the use of poetry to emphasize with, and advocate on behalf of, immigrants. From Martin: "We'll explore the reality that migrants share a common humanity with us. We'll dig down into our own immigrant histories and search for parallels with contemporary struggles. We'll confront the fact that, historically, the same people others would deport have always done the 'dirty work' in our country. We'll read poems and, not least, we'll write in the garden." 

Workshops are open to writers of all experience levels/genres. Registration is limited to 25 participants per workshop, so reserve your spot early!

Tickets go on sale this spring. Special discounted rates are available for high school and college students - inquire at info@keelertavernmuseum.org.

Anonymous Society is pleased to present If / Only / And / Then, a dynamic new exhibition featuring a dynamic new exhibition featuring work in painting, mixed

media, and ceramics by Sonja Langford (North Carolina / Connecticut), Faye Pamintuan (Philippines / Texas / New York), and Rachel Volpone (Connecticut). Running from June 5 through July 20, 2025, the exhibition traces how the language we carry—spoken, unspoken, imagined—shapes the course of our lives, offering a means to reauthor the self in moments of both fierce protection and quiet surrender, in pursuit of deeper becoming.

This show centers on the moments that define us—the decisions, disruptions, and relationships that shape identity in all its complexity. The featured art works engage with transformation, personal mythology, constructed identity, and the radical authorship of self in systems that have long erased, commodified, or distorted the female voice. If / Only / And / Then doesn’t seek resolution—it charts direction, carving out space through bold, deliberate acts of imagination.

Through diverse media, Langford, Pamintuan, and Volpone offer work that resists containment. Whether abstract, narrative, or conceptual, their practices ask how we locate ourselves—and each other—within shifting cultural landscapes. The exhibition invites viewers into an evolving dialogue about identity, memory, and possibility, offering a space where complexity is not only acknowledged but honored.

Join us at Anonymous Society for the opening reception on Thursday, June 5, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Anonymous Society is an independent exhibition space committed to showcasing contemporary art that challenges convention, amplifies creative voices, and fosters critical dialogue.

Gallery hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 12 PM to 5 PM, Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM, or by appointment. For more information, visit  www.anonymoussocietygallery.com or email info@anonymoussocietygallery.com.

Auditions will be held April 27 & 28 for a cast of 8 roles plus ensemble.

As part of Poetry in the Garden's 2025 season, "Declarations 2025 - Resilience & Rage: Voices from Marginalized America," KTM&HC and Ridgefield Poet Laureate Emerita Barb Jennes are proud to host a series of poetry workshops in the month of July. Participants can learn, discuss, and create with some of the country's most prominent poetic voices.

On Monday, July 21, ground-breaking poet Mark Doty's workshop will focus on the challenges and opportunities presented by being ourselves on the page. From Mark: "A deep paradox in American poetry lies in the fact that while LGBTQ+ individuals are generally thought of as outsiders, a glance at a list of major American poets - Whitman, Dickinson, Crane, Bishop, O'Hara, Swenson, Rich, Ashbery, and many more - reveals that we're an extraordinary mainstream. This tension is actually fruitful." Includes discussion and short writing exercises. 

Workshops are open to writers of all experience levels/genres. Registration is limited to 25 participants per workshop, so reserve your spot early!

Tickets go on sale this spring. Special discounted rates are available for high school and college students - inquire at info@keelertavernmuseum.org.

Declarations 2025 - LGBTQ+ Voices

July 21, 2025 · 7 p.m.

Walled Garden

Free

Commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with "Poetry in the Garden: Declarations 2025." Each Monday evening in July, nationally acclaimed poets will share works that explore how historically marginalized groups have been denied the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality and inalienable rights.

On July 21, we are proud to host two poets whose work explores the marginalization, expression, and resilience of LGBTQ+ Americans: Mark Doty—a National Book Award winner—and award-winning poet Trace Peterson. The winners of a poetry contest co-sponsored by Ridgefield PRIDE will also be presented. A Q&A session and book signing will follow.

Free for all! Bring a lawn chair or blanket to enjoy the readings, held in KTM&HC’s beautiful walled garden. A Q&A session will follow each reading; poets’ books will be available for signing. In the event of inclement weather, the reading will move inside the Garden House.

Mark Doty is the author of nine books of poetry, including Deep Lane, Fire to Fire: New & Selected Poems—winner of the 2008 National Book Award—and My Alexandria, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the T.S. Eliot Prize. The author of four best-selling memoirs, Doty has received two NEA fellowships, Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundation Fellowships, a Lila Wallace/Readers Digest Award, and the Witter Byner Prize. He has taught at the University of Iowa, Princeton University, Sarah Lawrence College, Columbia University, Cornell, and NYU. In 2011, Doty was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

Trace Peterson's new collection The Valleys Are So Lush and Steep won the 2024 Alma Book Award from Saturnalia Books and is forthcoming this fall. Her first book, Since I Moved In, won the Gil Ott Award. Peterson co-edited the first-ever anthology of trans poetry Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics, a Finalist for a Lamda Literary Award. She is also editor of the small press EOAGH, winner of two Lamda Literary Awards and a National Jewish Book Award. Currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at UConn, Peterson has also taught at Yale, Emory, Hunter College, and the Jack Kerouac School at Naropa.
