  1. Crime & Punishment: Turning Guns Into Jewelry

    <strong>Peter Thum is a New York City-based social entrepreneur </strong>whose humanitarian ventures include Ethos, the bottled water brand that is sold in Starbucks and funds clean water projects in South Africa. Though he is a man of peace and social consciousness, there is one person with whom Thum cannot come to a mutual understanding: Jessica Mindich of Greenwich. Thum has filed a lawsuit claiming that Mindich, a jeweler, stole the idea for her line of jewelry made from the melted-down metal of guns purchased at gun buybacks, from his company, Fonderie 47, which buys guns from conflict zones and also uses them to create artisan jewelry, reports the Associated Press. Mindich started the Caliber Collection in January of 2012, and heard nothing from Thum until several news outlets featured her in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy and she gained Snoop Dogg as a celebrity spokesperson. Thum says all potential proceeds from suing the pants off his rival will go to anti-gun violence efforts.

  12. A Lecture by Artist John Gerrard at UHart on March 6

    Resource extraction goes on all around us, every day, from grabbing fossil fuels underneath our feet to modern agriculture and livestock cultivation. Irish artist John Gerrard takes "virtual portaits" of modern-day, Stonehendge-like masses that dot the landscape all across the country (one of his photographs appears above), the ones we usually drive past without noticing. He'll give a free lecture on Wednesday about his recent works, mostly to Hartford Art School students, but members of the public are invited to attend as well.
