SUMMARY:Frederick Law Olmsted: Bringing Nature to the City\, Dinner and Lecture with Laurence Cotton
DESCRIPTION:The evening will include a social hour with a cash bar\, live music a buffet-style dinner\, our speaker program with Q & A\, followed by dessert and conversation.\nApril 26\, 2022 marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Law Olmsted\, the master designer of public parks who founded the modern field of landscape architecture practice in the U.S. Join historian and filmmaker Laurence Cotton (originator of and consulting producer to the PBS special Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America) for a deep dive into the remarkable life and career of Olmsted: writer\, philosopher\, social reformer\, advocate for the preservation of natural scenery\, and creator of some of the most beautiful public and private parks and gardens in all of North America\, including New York’s Central Park. Cotton will guide a visual tour of representative masterful landscapes designed by Olmsted\, as well as his two sons\, the founders of the fabled Olmsted Brothers firm. Laurence will offer a tour of select Olmsted landscapes in Florida and the Southeastern states.\nLaurence Cotton\, currently based in Portland\, Oregon\, a city that benefits from an Olmsted-planned park system\, originally hails from Boston\, renowned for its Olmsted landscapes and the home base forgenerations of landscape design practitioners working for the Olmsted Brothers firm. A practicing public historian\, and writer/producer of historical films for PBS\, Cotton trained as a cultural anthropologist and brings that lens to bear on much of his work. He has worked with the tribal populations throughout the Columbia River watershed and has also worked on open space acquisition and the designs of parks and trails in the Pacific Northwest.\nParks are for all people.\nAs we celebrate the bicentennial of Frederick Law Olmsted’s birth\, let’s work together to make sure we can all enjoy and access parks in our neighborhoods today and tomorrow!

SUMMARY:The Pink Castle Tour\, Lecture\, Concert & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:This unique event provides an opportunity to personally experience one of St. Augustine’s architectural treasures. In a city filled with conspicuous landmark buildings\, the “Pink Castle” is one of the most distinctive and eccentric. It was built in 1922\, designed by sculptor Charles Adrian Pillars as his own home and studio. Pillars was acknowledged as Florida’s greatest sculptor and is most renowned for his spectacular bronze winged youth rising above a globe in Jacksonville’s Memorial Park. That sculpture is entitled LIFE\, which is also the name of a fascinating new biography by Dr. Wayne Wood. The program will be highlighted by a slide-illustrated lecture on Pillars and the Pink Castle by Dr. Wood\, the Jacksonville Historical Society’s Historian-at Large\, and includes a balcony concert by renowned violist Marcy Jean Brenner\, the current owner of the house. Seats are limited to 35; masks required. Click here to register.
