We’re taking a page from the museum’s history and are celebrating the Summer Solstice this year, with a Swedish twist.
Ture Bengtz, family friend of museum co-founders Carl and Edith Weyerhaeuser, and the museum’s first Director, was of Swedish heritage. The Weyerhaeusers visited Sweden with Bengtz in 1961, and while there, participated in a Midsommar event, a tradition of celebrating the longest day of the year. When the Art Complex opened in 1971, Bengtz hosted a similar celebration here in Duxbury, featuring a maypole painted blue and yellow, which are the colors of the flag of Sweden.
We are featuring that same maypole in our festival! This family-friendly event is suitable for all ages and all are welcome.

Artist Reception "Here Comes the Sun"
2025-09-06 13:00 - 15:00 | Norwell Public Library, 64 South Street, Norwell, MA, 02061, United States
Artist Reception for
Here Comes The Sun:
Rita S. Berkowitz

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Meeting Room at the Norwell Public Library
64 South Street, Norwell, MA 02061

Artist Statement:
Every morning as the sun rises we are promised a new beginning. A time to rethink who we are and what we would like to achieve in our lives. It represents the Cycle of Life, like a daily reincarnation. Ancient people thought of the sun as the source of life. The Mayan people thought the sunrise brings warmth into consciousness.
Blessed with images of Scituate, Massachusetts, on the marsh, to see the most beautiful sunrises to welcome in the day. No matter the weather, the sunrise gives us a feeling that it is all okay and we can go forward to be who we truly want to be.
The poem, “Paint Me a Sunrise,” by Linda Harrison, read at many memorial services, from that moment forward Rita Berkowitz has been embracing the sunrise not only as a memorial but as a meditation to begin every day. We begin with the thoughts “How we can reinvent ourselves, to become the people we really want t to be, to decide who we are today and from this point forward.
