SUMMARY:The Shahns in Truro: Art, Archives and Story
DESCRIPTION:Spend an evening with writer Lisa Mecham as she explores how the Outer Cape shaped the art and legacy of Judith Shahn, a Truro painter and printmaker whose father was the major American artist Ben Shahn.\n\nDrawing on interviews, personal papers, and recent research in the Truro Historical Society’s Cobb Archive, Mecham will trace the Shahn family’s deep ties to Truro and reveal a family history more complex than the familiar public version. Along the way, she will offer a behind-the-scenes look at archival research and the vital role local historical societies play in preserving the details that can transform how a story is understood.\n\nAll are welcome. Because seating is limited, advance reservations are requested. Donations are warmly appreciated.\nDue to limited seating in our exhibition hall, advance registration is required.\nImportant: Your reservation is not complete until you receive a confirmation receipt from the Truro Historical Society in your email inbox. If you do not receive a confirmation email, your registration was not successfully submitted. Please check your spam or junk folder, or contact us and we’ll be happy to assist you.\n
