SUMMARY:Halls of Power: A Presentation by Michelle Hauser with Guest Sally 
 Eckhoff
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a sneak peek of Rural Hall's 5th Annual Art Exhibit
  and Sale and enjoy special presentations by visual artists Michelle Hause
 r and Sally Eckhoff.\n\nAt 6:30pm there will be a Screening of "The Innoce
 nt Bystander" by Sally Eckhoff ~ an animation of the iconic song by Dan Hi
 cks. Since it premiered in 2023 it has been shown at film festivals both i
 nternationally and across the country. We are thrilled to be screening it 
 here at Rural Hall.\nMichelle Hauser’s talk will include live and projec
 ted images from her ongoing photographic project: “Halls of Power.” Se
 lections of this project were exhibited at the Blue Hill Library in May of
  2025. Her series documenting Maine’s historic meeting halls aims to ill
 uminate this older form of social interaction. Her talk will explore the r
 ich symbolism and the significant role that volunteer societies and frater
 nal organizations have played in invigorating American democracy.\n\nThe p
 resentations will honor our legacy by inviting more people in to explore t
 he dynamic of current and previous generations\, whose spirit\, time and m
 aterials created irreplaceable civic spaces\, like Rural Hall\, for us to 
 share. Free and open to the public. Light refreshment will be served.\n*Th
 is event is supported by The Kindling Fund\, a grant program administered 
 by SPACE as part of the Andy Warhol Foundation For The Visual Arts Regiona
 l Regranting Program.\n\nThis presentation is the first event in the Surry
  Rural Hall Summer Series. The public is invited to our 5th Annual Art Exh
 ibit and Sale: Take Five! on Sunday\, Aug. 10th from 4:00-6:00pm and the S
