Opening Reception | André Ethier & Steve Keister: Goblins, Gods, and the Grotesque Sublime


Two solo exhibitions investigate myth, form, and the surreal within new paintings and sculptures: André Ethier's work features impulsively painted goblin figures engaged in absurd motions, such as sweeping at black holes, smoking cigarettes, and fleeing an idyllic past. Created in single sittings, these works channel subconscious forces, which Ethier refers to as "the inevitable collision of the grotesque and the sublime." Steve Keister presents mixed-media sculptures and ceramic wall works inspired by Mesoamerican architecture. Drawing from Pre-Columbian myth, Keister constructs contemporary deities and mystical beings utilizing salvaged materials such as Styrofoam and cardboard, reimagined through processes of casting and collage.

Dancing | Dynamic Brazilian Big Band Brings a Unique, Expressive Sound for Dancing


Gafieira Rio Miami is a dynamic Brazilian big band made up of 11 talented musicians from Venezuela, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States, reflecting South Florida's rich cultural tapestry. Founded by native Brazilian and Latin GRAMMY winner Diogo Brown, Gafieira Rio Miami breathes new life into samba de gafieira partner dancing, a lively tradition that flourished in Brazil during the 1940s and '50s. Originating in Rio de Janeiro, gafieira dance halls were hubs of creativity where waltz, jazz, soul, tango, and samba rhythms merged to create a unique, expressive sound that defied social conventions and invited creative movement. As Brown shows, gafieira embraces a range of genres such as chorinho, pagode, and maxixe. The group's repertoire includes gorgeous arrangements of classics by Gilberto Gil, Djavan, Alcione, Wilson das Neves, Moacir Santos, and many more. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Louis Henry Mitchell—the creative director of character design for Sesame Workshop—holds a conversation about his book Qreative Evolution: How to Question Everything to Find Your Creative Fulfillment with Emmy Award–winning producer, creator, and author Trevor Crafts. When he was six years old, Louis Henry Mitchell first saw Muppet creator Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog on the Ed Sullivan Show, and a spark was lit that would ultimately lead him to his position at Sesame Workshop. From his early days in comic book illustration, to entertainment design, and finally his dream job, Louis's journey has inspired him to encourage others to follow their heart and create their life with purpose. His belief that everyone is an artist is the core principle behind Qreative Evolution. Louis shares a completely new way of looking at talent, creativity, and living our fullest potential, and gives readers the tools and support needed before the creative process even begins. Through enchanting stories and wisdom gained over his successful and fulfilling career, Louis demonstrates what we can achieve when we are loyal to our creative calling, and how we continue to evolve as works of art throughout our lifetimes. Louis Henry Mitchell is the creative director of character design at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street, where he directs and oversees all aspects of character art.  Trevor Crafts is an Emmy Award–winning producer, creator, and author whose passion for bold storytelling, striking visuals, and unforgettable characters have made him a distinctive voice in the entertainment industry. Most recently, Trevor produced the Emmy Award–winning and Critics Choice–nominated documentary Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street.

Book Discussion | Author Talks about Her New Book on Art Activism: The War of Art


What do artists' protests reveal about the possibilities for protest in our democracy? Lauren O'Neill-Butler's The War of Art invites us to learn, imagine, and mobilize, which attendees do together at this talk joined by O'Neill-Butler and fellow writers E.C. Feiss and Ciaran Finlayson. Artists in America have long battled against injustices, believing that art can in fact "do more." The War of Art tells this history of artist-led activism and the global political and aesthetic debates of the 1960s to the present. In contrast to the financialized art market and celebrity artists, the book explores the power of collective effort -- from protesting to philanthropy, and from wheat pasting to planting a field of wheat. Lauren O'Neill-Butler charts the post-war development of artists' protest and connects these struggles to a long tradition of feminism and civil rights activism. The book offers portraits of the key individuals and groups of artists who have campaigned for solidarity, housing, LGBTQ+, HIV/AIDS awareness, and against Indigenous injustice and the exclusion of women in the art world. Based upon in-depth oral histories with the key figures in these movements, and illustrated throughout, The War of Art is an essential corrective to the idea that art history excludes politics. Lauren O'Neill-Butler is a New York-based writer and editor. Her books include The War of Art: A History of Artists' Protest in America and Let's Have a Talk: Conversations with Women on Art and Culture. A former cofounder of the nonprofit magazine November and Senior Editor of Artforum, she has written for Aperture, Art Journal, Bookforum, and The New York Times, among many others.

Concert | Radical Brazilian Pop Band Os Mutantes: Psychedelic, Tropicália, and Protest Music


Though initially only rarely heard outside of Brazil, Os Mutantes is currently acknowledged as among the most dynamic, original, radical, and influential bands of their era. These brash musical experimentalists engaged distortion, feedback, sampling techniques and a prescient selection of studio tricks to create a lighthearted, playful, yet still extreme Brazilian pop. An integral part of the psychedelic, Tropicália and protest movements, Os Mutantes combined unbridled guitars, traditional rhythms, an optimistic vision of the future, and an advanced melodic sensibility. Now, nearly 60 years removed from their founding, Os Mutantes’s approach to sonic collage and a wry tendency toward cultural irony ushered in a near-universal modern music aesthetic.  There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Concert | Celebration of Afro-Brazilian Choro Music


Meet up with the New York-based Brazilian choro and samba ensemble Regional Samauma for a celebration of the sounds of Brazil through the potent group music-making gathering known as a Roda de Choro! Choro references a rich repertoire that dates back nearly two centuries and represents the fusion of Afro-Brazilian traditions with classical sonorities and dance forms from European culture. Initially developed in the post-slavery Rio de Janeiro in the late 1800s, choro remains a fundamental driving force for the contemporary expression of Brazilian culture. For this event, Regional Samauma presents a two-part Roda de Choro, beginning with a historical journey across 150 years of choro styles, incorporating maxixe, Brazilian polka and tango, samba, lundu, and baiao. In the second part, they invite the audience to participate in a semi-improvisational performance. Bring your own instrument and join in the fun with a few choro tunes! 5:00-6:00 pm: Presentation of choro music by Regional Samauma 6:00-6:30 pm: Participatory Roda de Choro Seating is first-come first-served.

Workshop | Portrait Photography: Best Practices


This workshop will go over best practices when photographing the everyday person from go-to poses, how to be prepared with your settings, and how to speak to and direct your subjects. More often than not, portrait photographers aren't shooting the winners of America’s Next Top Model. They deal with everyday people for family portraits, engagements, headshots, etc. As professionals, it's their job to make our subjects feel comfortable and help them get out of their shell, since being in front of the camera doesn’t always come naturally. Come with your questions and your cameras!

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Each tour is one hour, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with an assigned docent. Start times: 10:30 am, 12 pm, 1:30 pm

It's enemies to lovers - and everything in-between - as it's time to revel in romance in July. Love, Camera, Action synopsis: "Up-and-coming TV director Cali Daniels knows sex. Well, okay, she knows how to shoot sex scenes, and she’s been hired to direct a highly anticipated steamy episode of the popular series The Demon. This job is her chance at a big-time career in the film and television industry—if only the director of photography—effortlessly sexy Jory Blair—would stop shutting her ideas down at every turn. Now this creative newbie, who she can’t get out of his mind, wants to change the look of his show. Even worse, the friction between them is sparking into blistering chemistry. As collaborating takes on a whole new meaning, and the show’s producer not-so-subtly suggests that Jory sabotage Cali in order to achieve his own goals, they’ll have to decide if chasing their dream jobs is worth losing the dream of a future together."

Book Club | Discuss Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt


Book Synopsis: After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late. Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

In Necessary Fiction, Eloghosa Osunde poses these provocative questions and many more while exploring the paths and dreams, hopes and fears of more than two dozen characters who are staking out lives for themselves in contemporary Nigeria. Across Lagos, one of Africa's largest urban areas and one of the world's most dynamic cities, Osunde’s characters seek out love for self and their chosen partners, even as they risk ruining relationships with parents, spouses, family, and friends. As they work to establish themselves in the city's lively worlds of art, music, entertainment, and creative commerce, we meet their collective and individual attempts to reckon with the necessary fiction they carry for survival. Eloghosa Osunde is an award-winning writer and multidisciplinary artist. Winner of MoAD's African Literary Award, the Plimpton Prize for Fiction, and an ASME Award for Fiction, they are the author of the critically acclaimed novel Vagabonds!, which was a New York Times Editors Choice and a New Yorker Best Book of the Year.

Staged Reading | Unproduced Musical Reading with Broadway & Film Stars


In this reading event, Lindsay Mendez, Katrina Lenk, Andrew Barth Feldman, and other Broadway stars read an unpublished musical by composer Michael Friedman--Stranger. Friedman, whose archive is preserved by the Billy Rose Theatre Division, was an American theater composer and lyricist.

When the Stranger vanishes as mysteriously as he appeared, the lives of each family member are changed forever. Director: Trip Cullman Music Director: Jacinth Greywoode Cast: Andrew Barth Feldman (Broadway: Dear Evan Hansen, Film: No Hard Feelings), Valeria Ceballos, Katrina Lenk (Broadway: The Band's Visit, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, Once, and Indecent), Lindsay Mendez (Broadway: Carousel, Wicked, Godspell, Grease), David Rasche, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Analise Scarpaci, Will Swenson

Dancing | Learn To Mambo with Live Music


In this social dance night, Sekou McMiller will teach how to mambo, along with the sounds of live musicians igniting the dance floor. From 1945 to 1966, The Palladium Ballroom was the home for the mambo, a social, partner dance. The Palladium is also recognized as the first integrated dance space in Midtown, and it was known to the clubgoers as a place of family, a place of love, and a place of dance. Dance artist and historian Sekou McMiller spent time in a residency at the Jerome Robbins Dance Division at the Library for the Performing Arts, working with, speaking to, and dancing with elders from the mambo community that spent their youth at the Palladium. Their stories and the dance moves they shared with McMiller were filmed and are now part of the Division’s archive. The spirit of mambo lives on through their legacy—one which everyone can still enjoy!  There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Concert | Music in the Park: Eclectic Artists with Giant Talents


Jazz royalty and disco pioneer, Asha Puthli returns to the stage after a 19 year hiatus. Known for her award-winning vocals on Ornette Coleman’s “Science Fiction” album, the music pioneer has released twelve albums, was a favorite at Studio 54 and placed by Andy Warhol in his time capsule. Her cult classic “Space Talk” was a mainstay at the Paradise Garage and The Loft, sampled by A-list hip-hop artists and launched into space!  For years Cymande was a flame that burned quick but bright; the group, which drew its membership from several Caribbean nations, mixed funk, soul, reggae, rock, calypso, and jazz with African rhythms into a sound they dubbed “nyah-rock.” After releasing three albums between 1971-1974, they disappeared until reforming to tour in the 2010s. They’ll be performing their classics and their brand-new 2025 album Renascence. Zacchae’us Paul is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer with a fresh and irreverent take on Black music and the African diaspora, stretching and bending jazz around Atlanta hip-hop, gospel sounds and philosophies, and the Caribbean rhythms he picked up studying in Puerto Rico. Spinning tunes between sets is DJ K.Tea, an NYC-based DJ from St. Louis and Chicago who crafts sonic journeys that inspire freedom, dance, and discovery within house music.  Doors open at 5:00 pm.

Musical | Deaf Broadway Presents Waitress with ASL


Following their productions of RENT and Once on This Island, Deaf Broadway brings a live staging of the Broadway smash-hit Waitress by Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson—offering a more equitable shared evening for hearing and Deaf audiences alike, showcasing a full Deaf Broadway cast performing the music through ASL with direction by Sandra Mae Frank. In just five short years, Deaf Broadway has become synonymous with authentically Deaf musical theater. The organization was founded during the 2020 pandemic in response to artistic director Garrett Zuercher's experience with the state of Deaf access to performances of lyrically complex musicals, which too often water down the nuance of the original work’s language and intentions. Taking up the gauntlet, he and his team began producing American Sign Language interfaces of popular musicals. Eventually, the company began staging the prerecorded audio performance of the musical, presented live by a trained Deaf cast acting their individual parts in ASL.  There are two ways to access this event: 1.

Tour | Dance Theater Exhibition Tour


Take a tour of Room to Move: Dance Theater Workshop and Alternative Histories of Downtown Dance, an exhibition about how Dance Theater Workshop grew from a need for space into a lasting model of support for artists. Dance Theater Workshop provided not only space to create, but also offered classes and professional development for artists, subsidized video recordings of performances, and gave artists administrative support. For many individual artists, it was the first time that they did not have to manage every aspect of a production by themselves, and this freed up time for creativity and experimentation. Over time, Dance Theater Workshop became a crucial venue for artists in the downtown scene. A number of choreographers now well known all over the world, including Mark Morris, Donald Byrd, Bebe Miller, and Bill T. Jones, all got their start at the Dance Theater Workshop. Dance Theater Workshop also provided funds and initiatives that helped these artists travel and exhibit their work outside of New York, and brought regional artists to the city. We also have them to thank for the Bessie Awards, which recognize outstanding and groundbreaking creative work by independent dance artists in New York City. This tour requires no registration, and is first come, first served.

Film | Portrait in Black (1960) Neo-Noir Melodrama with Lana Turner & Anthony Quinn


After repressed, wealthy Sheila Cabot and her physician lover murder her cruel invalid husband Matthew, they are targeted by someone who is aware of their crime. With this alarming complication, their new life together begins unraveling as they become trapped in the realization that someone somewhere knows their dark secret. Director: Michael Gordon Cast: Lana Turner, Anthony Quinn, Sandra Dee, John Saxon, Lloyd Nolan Lana Turner was an American actress. Over a career spanningalmost 50 years, she achieved fame as both a pin-up model and a film actress, and for her highly publicized personal life. In the mid-1940s, she was one of the highest-paid American actresses, and one of MGM's biggest stars, with her films earning approximately one billion dollars in 2024 currency for the studio during her 18-year contract with them. Turner is frequently cited as a popular culture icon due to her glamorous persona, and a screen legend of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Her reputation as a glamorous femme fatale was enhanced by her critically acclaimed performances in film noir. She was nominated for numerous awards. Anthony Quinn was an American actor known for his portrayal of earthy, passionate characters in over 100 film, television, and stage roles between 1936 and 2002. He was a two-time Academy Award winner, and was also nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, two BAFTA Awards and a Tony Award. Initially typecast as a "heavy" and playing other minor parts as well, he was gradually cast in more substantial parts, including co-starring roles in Blood and Sand (1941) and The Ox-Bow Incident (1943). He won his first Oscar, for Best Supporting Actor, for his part in Viva Zapata! (1952), becoming the first Mexican-born performer to win an Academy Award. He received his second Oscar in 1957 for Lust for Life. He was nominated for Best Actor twice more, for his roles in Wild is the Wind (1958) and Zorba the Greek (1964). His other notable films included La Strada (1954), T, Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Guns for San Sebastian (1968), The Message (1976), Jungle Fever (1991) and Seven Servants (1996). He also starred in the Broadway plays A Streetcar Named Desire, Becket (earning a Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Play), and Zorba (reprising his film role). Along with his acting career, Quinn was also a civil rights activist, an avid painter, and the author of several autobiographical books. In 1987, he was presented with the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.

Screening | Two Silent Films with Live Music Followed by Expert Q&A


THis event features two 16mm silent films with live piano accompaniment by Ben Model, one of the classic film world's leading silent film accompanists. Stay after the film screenings for a discussion and Q&A about the film with Ben Model and NYPL film specialist Elena Rossi-Snook. One film shown will be Love 'Em and Leave 'Em (1926), a comedy romance shot at Paramount's Astoria Studios (today known as Kaufman Astoria Studios), starring Evelyn Brent and Louise Brooks, in her first major film role. Brooks was a dancer in the Ziegfeld Follies before entering the movie industry in New York--today she is remembered as one of the great icons of the silent screen. Lawrence Gray and Osgood Perkins also star in the cast--all together they share scenes with Central Park and other iconic New York locations. The second film shown will be the comedy short Movie Night (1929), which opens the program. This Hal Roach film stars the often overlooked Charley Chase, an American actor, comedian, screenwriter and director, and is a look at family movie-going in the 1920s. This is an opportunity to see a rare film, which has never been released on video or digitally--with very few copies in existence.

Jazz | Guitar-Centric Quartet Performs at a Very Special Outdoors Venue


Emmanuel Michael is a New York City based artist who believes that without self-reflection and empathy towards himself and others, the foundation of what makes a truthful artist/human would crumble.

Recent artistic endeavors by the Emmanuel Michael Group have included making their two-week long debut at the legendary Village Vanguard, playing with The Marcus Gilmore Sextet and recording a live album during their week long residency, as well as playing with the Dayna Stephens Quintet at The Village Vanguard the following week, making Emmanuel's debut at the Village Vanguard an immensely rare circumstance. Emmanuel is also a 2024 recipient of The Jazz Gallery's prestigious Residency Commission. Seating opens 30 minutes before showtime and is available on the grass or benches.

Tour | Dance Theatre Workshop Exhibition: A Place for Creativity & Experimentation


Take a tour of an exhibition to learn how Dance Theater Workshop grew from a need for space into a lasting model of support for artists. Dance Theater Workshop provided not only space to create, but also offered classes and professional development for artists, subsidized video recordings of performances, and gave artists administrative support. For many individual artists, it was the first time that they did not have to manage every aspect of a production by themselves, and this freed up time for creativity and experimentation. Over time, Dance Theater Workshop became a crucial venue for artists in the downtown scene. A number of choreographers now well known all over the world, including Mark Morris, Donald Byrd, Bebe Miller, and Bill T. Jones, all got their start at the Dance Theater Workshop. Dance Theater Workshop also provided funds and initiatives that helped these artists travel and exhibit their work outside of New York, and brought regional artists to the city. They also created the Bessie Awards, which recognize outstanding and groundbreaking creative work by independent dance artists in New York City.

In 2001, he collaborated with a number of US musicians on his album Fight to Win, including Common, Mos Def, and Jaguar Wright; in 2021, he released a two-album project with his son Made Kuti called Legacy+.

Also performing is dead prez, the infamous hip-hop duo with an instantly recognizable hit (“Hip-Hop,” famously used as the bed track on Chappelle’s Show) and a legacy of calling out inequality and injustice throughout their career. Across three studio albums and a handful of mixtapes, they’ve championed militant social justice, self-determination, Pan-Africanism, and opposing corporate media. Cape Verdean singer and songwriter Elida Almeida, known for her viral single and album Nta Konsigui, will round out the evening. DJing between sets will be Rich Medina, the DJ, producer, spoken-word poet, archivist, and journalist who claims both the Rock Steady Crew and the Universal Zulu Nation and is a part of the DJ collective The Originals; in 2001 he created the “JUMP N FUNK”, North America’s original Afrobeat party series celebrating Fela Kuti and the cultural legacy of Afrobeat music. Maryam Bukar Hassan, also known as Alhanislam, is a Nigerian poet, human rights activist, and Pan-Africanist renowned for her impassioned advocacy on social issues. Recognized as one of the 100 Most Reputable Africans for 2025 and as the UN’s next Global Advocate for Peace, Alhanislam continues to bridge activism with the power of spoken word, using her voice to inspire change on a global scale.

Dance Performance | Historic Dance Show Recreated with Dancers & Visual Arts


The Jerome Robbins Dance Division at the Library for the Performing Arts preserves Elaine Summers' archive. In honor of the Library's 60th anniversary, organizers celebrate Summers during her centennial birth year with a recreation of her 2007 performance, Hidden Forest. The centennial performance of Hidden Forest incorporates eight dancers with musicians, composers, visual artists, and visual projections, which come from another intermedia piece by Summers. Hidden Forest is inspired by Dante's quote--"in the midst of the journey of life I came upon a dark forest, where the path was lost." Dancer, choreographer, and intermedia artist Elaine Summers was a major pioneer exploring the meeting of dance and film, melding the two into a seamless whole which she referred to as "intermedia." This recreation of Hidden Forest is directed by Frances Becker and assisted by the Artistic Estate of Elaine Summers. Seating is first-come first-served. Just show up!

Film | Camille (1921): Silent French Drama with Alla Nazimova & Rudolph Valentino


A courtesan and an idealistic young man fall in love, only for her to give up the relationship at his status-conscious father's request. An early Hollywood silent film. Director: Ray C. Smallwood Cast: Alla Nazimova, Rudolph Valentino, Rex Cherryman, Arthur Hoyt, Patsy Ruth Miller Alla Nazimova was a Russian-American actress, director, producer and screenwriter. On Broadway, she was noted for her work in the classic plays of Ibsen, Chekhov and Turgenev. She later moved to film, where she served many production roles, both writing and directing films under pseudonyms. Her film Salome (1922) is regarded as a cultural landmark. Nazimova was bisexual and openly conducted relationships with women while being married to a man. She is credited with having originated the phrase "sewing circle" as a discreet code for lesbian or bisexual actresses. Rudolph Valentino and nicknamed The Latin Lover, was an Italian actor who starred in several well-known silent films including The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921), The Sheik (1921), Blood and Sand (1922), The Eagle (1925), and The Son of the Sheik (1926). Valentino was a sex symbol of the 1920s, known in Hollywood as the "Latin Lover" (a title invented for him by Hollywood moguls), the "Great Lover", or simply Valentino. His early death at the age of 31 caused mass hysteria among his fans, further cementing his place in early cinematic history as a cultural film icon.

Tour | Dance Theater Exhibition Tour


Take a tour of Room to Move: Dance Theater Workshop and Alternative Histories of Downtown Dance, an exhibition about how Dance Theater Workshop grew from a need for space into a lasting model of support for artists. Dance Theater Workshop provided not only space to create, but also offered classes and professional development for artists, subsidized video recordings of performances, and gave artists administrative support. For many individual artists, it was the first time that they did not have to manage every aspect of a production by themselves, and this freed up time for creativity and experimentation. Over time, Dance Theater Workshop became a crucial venue for artists in the downtown scene. A number of choreographers now well known all over the world, including Mark Morris, Donald Byrd, Bebe Miller, and Bill T. Jones, all got their start at the Dance Theater Workshop. Dance Theater Workshop also provided funds and initiatives that helped these artists travel and exhibit their work outside of New York, and brought regional artists to the city. We also have them to thank for the Bessie Awards, which recognize outstanding and groundbreaking creative work by independent dance artists in New York City. This tour requires no registration, and is first come, first served.

Film | The Elephant Man (1980): Biographical Drama from David Lynch


A Victorian surgeon rescues a heavily disfigured man who is mistreated as a side-show freak. Behind his façade, there is revealed a person of kindness, intelligence and sophistication. Director: David Lynch Cast: Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Anne Bancroft, Freddie Jones, John Gielgud David Lynch was an American filmmaker, visual artist, musician, and actor. Considered one of the most important filmmakers of his era, Lynch was often called a "visionary" and was acclaimed for films often distinguished by their surrealist and experimental qualities. In a career spanning more than five decades, he received numerous accolades, including an Honorary Academy Award in 2019. The adjective Lynchian came into use to describe works or situations reminiscent of his art, with the Oxford English Dictionary noting his penchant for "juxtaposing surreal or sinister elements with mundane, everyday environments, and for using compelling visual images to emphasize a dreamlike quality of mystery or menace."

Concert | Music in the Park: Celebrating "Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz with GRAMMY-Winning Cuban Artists


For this centennial celebration of the Cuban "Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz, three contemporary Cuban artists assemble to channel her spirit and honor her legacy. Isaac Delgado is a salsa singer from Havana who's performed with Orquesta de Pacho Alonso and NG La Banda. This group helped to popularize the then-nascent Cuban genre of timba, a sound that blends with salsa, American funk, R&B, and Afro-Cuban folkloric music. The singer, pianist, composer, and actress Aymee Nuviola--aka "La Sonera del Mundo"--is a decorated artist with multiple GRAMMYs and Latin GRAMMYs under her belt. She's also connected with Celia Cruz in a more literal sense, having played her in the Colombian telenovela Celia. Cuban singer and multi-instrumentalist Brenda Navarrete is an accomplished percussionist, distinguishing herself as an expert on the Bata. A long-standing member of Interactivo, a Havana-based musical collective led by the pianist Roberto Carcasses, she has also worked with the Afro-Cuban percussion troupe Obini Bata.

Book Club | Dicuss the Book Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus


Join a lively discussion about the #1 New York Times Bestseller! Synopsis: Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with--of all things--her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ("combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride") proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.
