On July 11, USIP, the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, and one of the report’s co-publishers — the International Organization for Migration — held a discussion on the report’s key findings and recommendations. The conversation also touched on the region’s significant advances in key policy areas such as trade, labor mobility, border management, digitalization, health, gender and climate change.

This photo doesn't do Kathy Hinde's work justice; Piano Migrations was a subtle, haunting piece that was in turn beautiful and yet faintly disturbing - it really did look as if the piano was full of living, fluttering birds.
After Sarah Nicolls's Inside Out Piano last year, I guess the challenge for Thomas will be to come up with another work involving a suspended piano in 2012...

Lockwood de Forest (American, 1850 - 1932)
LOCKWOOD DE FOREST (1850-1932) - Artists - Sullivan Goss Art Gallery
Moonrise York Harbor, Maine, Aug. 12, 1906
9.75 x 14 inches | oil on artist's card stock
Lockwood de Forest II was born in New York in 1850, the son of Henry G. and Julia Weeks de Forest. He began to paint and draw at an early age. At the age of nineteen de Forest had already begun formal training as an artist in Rome at the Corridi school, and had adopted his relative Frederick Church, the famous Hudson River School painter, as his mentor. Although he demonstrated multiple skills in his career, he painted passionately throughout his life.
During his lifetime de Forest was best known as a designer. He was a strong proponent of Indian-inspired design, for which there was a fashion in the late nineteenth century. His travels fueled his interest in eastern art and architecture, and he used his knowledge to further develop his design business. He traveled extensively, from Italy and Greece to the Holy Land and south into the Persian Empire and India; eventually he traveled throughout the United States, Mexico and even to China, Japan and Korea. He recorded his travels not only with design work, but with carefully rendered landscapes, which became increasingly atmospheric over the course of his career.
Captivated by the light and landscape of the South Coast, de Forest began wintering in Santa Barbara around the turn of the century, and moved to Santa Barbara permanently in 1919, where he lived until his death in 1932.

Lure of the Sea: Masterworks of American Coastal Art
Friday, March 21, 2025 — Sunday, July 20, 2025
To me the sea is a continual miracle, The fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—the ships with men in them, What stranger miracles are there? -Walt Whitman, Miracles (1856)
For centuries, the American coastline has served as a wellspring of artistic inspiration and a site of personal enterprise that has helped define the national spirit. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as industrialization, expanding railroad networks, and westward migration dramatically reshaped America’s interior landscape, its coastal regions emerged as vital to the development of commerce, industry, and cultural exchange. Access to the sea offered individuals who invested in small craft an entrepreneurial opportunity. Likewise, bustling port cities drove maritime trade, shipbuilding, and fishing industries, while a growing naval presence underscored the sea’s strategic significance. At the same time, artists were drawn to the shore’s dramatic beauty, dynamic harbors, and poetic spaces of leisure and repose.
Lure of the Sea: Masterworks of American Coastal Art traces nearly 200 years of artistic engagement with the maritime world. Featuring more than eighty paintings, works on paper, and sculptures from 1830 to today, the exhibition considers the profound influence of coastal environments on American art and culture. Distinct themes examine the emergence of seascapes and emotionally imbued expressions of nature’s power, beauty, and allure, as well as the tradition of maritime art in depictions of historical vessels, events, and locales. Spanning diverse artistic styles and moments in time, Lure of the Sea explores the coast’s relationship to American industry, leisure, literature, and the emergence of artist colonies that coalesced along the shoreline, inspired by the interplay of land and sea.
This exhibition is drawn from the collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art and commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Museum’s landmark gift of coastal and marine art by collectors and longstanding supporters, Charles J. and Irene Hamm. Featuring masterworks from their donation alongside other works in the Museum’s distinguished holdings, Lure of the Sea illuminates the American coast as a realm of boundless artistic and human pursuit.
---------------------------
For centuries, the coastal landscape has served as a vibrant arena in which American life, industry, and creativity have flourished. Lure of the Sea: Masterworks of American Coastal Art features nearly one hundred paintings, works on paper, and sculptures that explore the profound impact of coastal environments on the nation’s artistic and cultural development, as well as its collective imagination and identity.
Lure of the Sea explores broad themes, including the evolution of American “marine” art, from its traditional depictions of historical maritime vessels, events, and locales, to emotionally imbued expressions of nature’s power, beauty, and allure. The exhibition considers the coast’s relationship to industry, leisure, and the emergence of artist colonies that coalesced along the shoreline, inspired by the interplay of land and sea.
Spanning 150 years of creative output by leading American artists, including William Bradford, Alfred Thompson Bricher, Frederick Judd Waugh, William Partridge Burpee, Childe Hassam, Rockwell Kent, and N.C. Wyeth, Lure of the Sea offers invaluable insights into American life as it has unfolded along the maritime frontier, inviting viewers to engage deeply with the artistic legacy shaped by the sea.
This exhibition is drawn exclusively from the NBMAA’s collection and commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Museum’s landmark gift of coastal and marine art by collectors and longstanding supporters, Charles J. and Irene Hamm.
For over four decades, Charles and Irene Hamm dedicated their time and resources to developing a renowned art collection focused on American coastal art. The Hamms’ labor of love was last displayed at the New Britain Museum of American Art in the 2015 exhibition Over Life’s Waters: The Coastal Collection of Charles and Irene Hamm. Each work in the collection has been handpicked by Charles and Irene Hamm. When forming their coastal art collection, the couple decided they would collect works by American painters, alive or dead, in any medium, of any time, which attracted their eyes and emotions. Unlike most collectors who decide to focus on specific periods or styles, the Hamms have embraced painters working from the early 19th century right through to the present day in an exceptionally wide variety of media and manners.
To state that the Hamms have been passionate about the sea would be both accurate and revelatory. Charles was born in Brooklyn Heights, a stone’s throw from New York’s East River. Irene’s life as a native Floridian was shaped by her proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Together, the Hamms have sailed along several continents and enjoyed owning a series of both sail and power boats. Their Connecticut residence on the Long Island Sound was designed to display their coastal art collection and maximize their views and feeling of connection to the water.

The first streams of wildebeest in Maasai Mara in late April signal the coming of the Great Migration.

A long line of bison cross the incomparable Lamar Valley. Where a cloud of dust can be seen is a patch of dirt that every bison walking through had to stop to roll in.
The tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) are migrating through. Today the no-see-ums were pretty bad again and this flock was swooping in for a feast (as the flies were swooping in to feast on me). Then, they finally did what I was hoping for and roosted briefly in the wax myrtles, taking turns flying around in brilliant coordination.
Khor Fakkan is a town on the Gulf of Oman, in the United Arab Emirates. It centers on Khor Fakkan Bay, home to the curved Khor Fakkan Beach and a deep-sea port. A promenade runs along the beachfront, against the backdrop of the dramatic Hajar Mountains. Archaeological sites include ancient graves and a ruined Portuguese fort. West of town is Wadi Wurayah, a biodiverse mountain area with waterfalls and natural pools.
