SUMMARY:Lecture – Jewelry for America: History and Evolution of Jewelry in America
DESCRIPTION:Beth Carver Wees is Curator Emerita\, The American Wing\, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, where for 20 years she has overseen the collections of American silver\, jewelry\, and other metalwork. She holds degrees in art history from Smith College and the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art. \nHer exhibition Jewelry for America was on view at The Met from June 2019 to May 2021. Its five chronological sections explored changes in styles\, materials\, and techniques\, all woven into a sociohistorical narrative and included a brief look at mid-20th-century artists whose modernist designs paved the way for contemporary innovations. \nThe earliest jewelry worn in America was of a sentimental nature\, related to love and marriage or to death and mourning. In the early nineteenth century\, a domestic industry took root. Newark\, New Jersey\, became home to some 200 manufacturers\, and the iconic firms of Gorham and Tiffany & Co. were established. On New York’s Fifth Avenue\, upscale jewelry houses strove to compete with European brands\, while Britain’s Arts & Crafts movement inspired American jewelers to create small-batch studio production. Collectively\, the pieces featured in the Jewelry for America exhibition tell the story of how American jewelers absorbed and reinterpreted lessons from a vast global history to create a rich and varied body of work. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:McFaddin-Ward House Lecture Series & the Lamar University Center for History and Culture of Southeast Texas present “Swamp Pop: History and Sounds of a Gumbo-Combo of Rock ‘N’ Roll\, Country\, and Cajun Music” by Rachel Stiles & Music at the McFaddins’ featuring Jivin’ Gene
DESCRIPTION:Join the McFaddin-Ward House and the Lamar University Center for History and Culture of Southeast Texas and the Upper Gulf Coast for a unique outdoor event exploring the history and narrative of Swamp Pop music on Friday\, Oct. 20\, at 6:30 p.m. on the museum’s lawn (located at 1906 McFaddin Avenue\, in Beaumont). \nThe evening will feature a free public presentation\, “Swamp Pop: History and Sounds of a Gumbo-Combo of Rock ‘N’ Roll\, Country\, and Cajun Music\,” by Rachel Stiles\, followed by a live performance from original Swamp Pop musicians including Jivin’ Gene & Eazy. \nRachel Stiles is a Lamar University student currently working towards her Master of Music in piano performance.

An enthusiast for presenting new or forgotten works to the public\, Stiles also enjoys collaborative musicianship\, particularly in her role as pianist and organist at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Beaumont. \nAs a teenager\, Port Arthur native Gene Bourgeois – aka Jivin’ Gene – helped to invent the new genre music cooked up from a virtual gumbo of influences: country music\, rhythm and blues\, Cajun ballads\, and rock ‘n’ roll. Fast-forward to Antone’s Club in Austin earlier this year\, and the 83-year-old singer\, songwriter\, and guitarist was once again sharing his unique sound to a packed house. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Gates open at 6 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets\, chairs\, food\, and drinks as they gather on the grounds of the historic home at 1906 McFaddin Ave in Beaumont.
