Bristol Writers' Group
Saturday, October 10 | 1–2 PM | FREE
All are welcome
Imago welcomes three members of the Bristol Writers’ Group to a reading of their work on the theme of “community” followed by questions and answers and an open discussion.
This public reading is a continuation of a collaboration begun a year ago between the Bristol Writers’ Group and IFA to provide space in an art setting for local writers to read their work. The theme of community was chosen this year to coincide with art on display at IMAGO Gallery from October 1 to November 7 by featured IFA Exhibiting Artist Anne Marie Rossi entitled, “LIVING ARCHITECTURE: The Materiality of Community.”
IMAGO welcomes the Café Trio Plus
Sunday, October 11 | 4–6 PM, Doors Open at 3:30 PM | Imago Gallery| $25
The Café Trio Plus plays an international repertoire such as might be heard in cafés in Paris, Milan, Lisbon or Rio. The sounds of the mandolin, accordion, guitar and bass evoke another time and space, in which the pleasures of leisure time spent well with friends eating, drinking, conversing and enjoying pleasant music are paramount.
Tickets are available at the door for $25, can be reserved by email, or may be purchased in advance on EventBrite.
Vivian Eyre
WARREN WALKABOUTS
Sundays, October 18 & 25 | Haiku Poetry 12–2 PM
Drop by the gallery and write a haiku inspired by what you see, feel, or discover in the featured exhibition, "LIVING ARCHITECTURE: The Materiality of Community."
On October 18, poet and Imago community member Vivian Eyre will offer visitors a brief introduction to the art of haiku and help those who would like some guidance in creating their own. On October 25, community member Susan Rotblat-Walker will continue the project, inviting another afternoon of visitors to participate.
Choose a leaf cut from Japanese paper, add your haiku, and pin it to the hanging woven vine. As more visitors contribute, the vine will grow and become part of the installation itself: Your words become part of the installation. Your voice becomes part of the community.
In the case of rain on either afternoon, we will have music in the gallery from 3–5 PM.
Artist Talk: From Frescos to Fractals: an Encaustic Journey
By IFA Exhibiting Artist Dot Bergen | October 24 | IMAGO Gallery | 4 PM | FREE
All are welcome
In this presentation, Bergen takes us on her exploration of the restorative capacity of nature as she applies a new understanding of fractals to her own encaustic practice. Beginning with her work in encaustic and fresco, she sets the stage for her subsequent mixed-media investigation of edges, lines and illumination.
Her resulting new series of illuminated sculptures, entitled “Biolume: Between Host and Light” will be introduced. This new work will be featured in the Fine Furnishings Show at the Waterfire Arts Center in Providence on November 7th and 8th, 2026.
