PAM JAM Preview 2020 Virtual Poetry Reading
2020-10-25 15:00 - 17:00 | VIRTUAL
Special PAM JAM Preview during the October Ancient City Poets open mic reading.
Invited poets will read the poems that they wrote from being paired with an artist from the Butterfield Gallery. Fine art created during the poet/artist collaboration will also be worked into this presentation.
What’s a PAM Jam?
Back in August of last year, The Butterfield and the Ancient City Poets partnered to form a project named PAM Jam – Poets, Artists, and Musicians Spreading Joy. The inspiration was a project that featured 9 poets collaborating with one artist: Anna Miller. The show was called “Refractions”, and it was on display from January 15 to March 15, 2019, at the St. Johns County Administrative Building Rotunda.
This year, 18 fine artists from the Butterfield Gallery were paired with a poet partner from Ancient City Poets. The deadline for the finished poem and artwork from each paired collaboration team was April 1st of this year – right in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak. PAM Jam became the perfect pandemic project. In isolation, writers and artists got to know each other through emails, text messages, zoom meetings, and late-night phone calls. Writers and artists bonded together, built new relationships with each other, and learned to ride out the new normal. When the poems and paintings were completed, musicians were brought in to add another layer to the collaboration process.
On October 25th, the Ancient City Poets will hold a poetry reading at 3 pm online through zoom featuring the 18 poets and their poems from the inaugural PAM Jam. The event will be streamed through FB Live to the group’s Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/ancientcitypoets

Meet the Artist – Jewelry Maker Maureen Crescenzo
2020-11-06 11:00 - 17:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
Jewelry maker Maureen Crescenzo will be in the gallery all day during First Friday to discuss her work. Stop by to see her newest pieces, and learn the stories behind the antique beads they contain. Her jewelry is featured the entire month of November.
It started with a bead 60 years ago… that lead to a collection… and became a life long passion. As a young child Maureen Crescenzo was given a natural cut amethyst stone by a neighbor who ran an antique store. Her fascination prompted more gifts of small stones and beads, and soon young Maureen was taking apart unwanted costume jewelry for the beads. Her collection grew into a neighborhood interest, other children began collecting and trading beads with Maureen. Soon she was creating jewelry of her own, and finding small venues to display and sell. Her on-going love of beads has lead to a life of searching out unique and rare specimens to design with. The southwestern influence comes from her discovery and love of Native American Art.

Maureen’s pieces incorporate fine gemstones, chains, fine leathers and especially unique ancient beads from the world over. Her collection highlights plaited leather with embedded stones and various hanging centerpieces creating one of a kind tribal inspired adornments. Many pieces are length adjustable and some can morph into an entirely different design. Truly original, nothing faux about it. No two pieces of her hand crafted jewelry is alike, and has a style unique to Maureen.
