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 be serving 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 first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm

Book Discussion | Frankie: A Novel by TV's Graham Norton


An evening with Graham Norton, the host of The Graham Norton Show, to celebrate his new novel. Always on the periphery, looking on, young Frankie Howe was never quite sure enough of herself to take center stage—after all, life had already judged her harshly. Now old, Frankie finds it easier to forget the life that came before. Then Damian, a young Irish caretaker, arrives at her London flat, there to keep an eye on her as she recovers from a fall. A memory is sparked, and the past crackles into life as Damian listens to the story Frankie has kept stored away all these years. Traveling from post-war Ireland to 1960s New York—a city full of art, larger-than-life characters and turmoil—Frankie shares a world in which friendship and chance encounters collide. A place where, for a while, life blazes with an intensity that can’t last but will perhaps live on in other ways and in other people.

Dance Performance | 2025 Out-FRONT! Festival: 2 New Dance Works


Out-FRONT! Fest is a new dance, performance art, and film festival championing the voices of LGBTQ and Feminist artists for a lively exchange of art and culture. The Out-FRONT! Festival 2025 is curated by Gian Marco Riccardo Lo Forte, Philip Treviño, and Daniel Diaz; producer Remi Harris, and cultural organizer Joyce Isabelle. The Festival features award-winning artists who enlighten, entertain and promote conversations around aesthetic diversity and personal journeys on the intersection of mutual ideas, cultures, and meanings. Blaze Ferrer: Dick Biter Dick Biter is a dance that mourns the death of punk while channeling its contemporary detritus. Using deconstructed drag movement, mylar fringe buttplugs, traffic cones and Fiona Apple's 1997 VMAs speech as a springboard, Dick Biter collages dance scores and texts to embody both the divine femme and butch, and propose a space for abrasive, seat-forward revelry. Choreography: Blaze Ferrer Performance: Blaze Ferrer, Joey Kipp, and Alex Romania Sound Design, Composition, and Percussion: Jeff Aaron Bryant, Guitar: Alex Romania Lighting Design: Ebony M. Burton Costume Design: Emily White Stuart B Meyers: thegarden thegarden is an abstract movement exploration of the ever-becoming nature of the body and its outer world. As a blueprint for technotronic invention, the corporeal reveals itself to be a glitching system – one that is ripe for repair, updates and visioning. By constantly and consciously reconnecting to the body as organic material, the dance proposes a rediscovery of the supportive unseen forces that sustain us. It moves to re-member the spiritual processes and practices that ground us in our own ability to build newly gleaming futures. Choreography and Performance: Stuart B Meyers

Book Discussion | The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing


To New York journalists, Adam Moss (award-winning former editor of New York and The New York Times Magazine) is known as the "Editor of his Generation." When he retired from journalism in 2019, he turned to painting -- but found himself frustrated by the struggle known as "the creative process". To better understand the difficult steps which may lie between a dashed-off sketch and a finished canvas, Moss began to do in-depth interviews about talent, persistence, and inspiration with creatives of all kinds--from Stephen Sondheim to Roz Chast, from filmmaker Sofia Coppola to chef Samin Nosrat. These extraordinary conversations form the basis for Moss' bestselling book, presented here in multimedia form, followed by an author interview.

Book Discussion | This Is Doug Hall: A Concetual Artist's Memoir


A generous and instructive memoir of radical art in the twentieth century, from fearless Conceptual artist Doug Hall. Even if you know Doug Hall’s work, you don’t know “this” Doug Hall: the little boy afraid of bears in Boston who became the love-smitten art student who grew into a fearless Conceptual artist challenging many of our most beloved assumptions. Although lavishly and be a utifully illustrated, this is not a book only to be looked at but one to be thoroughly read and enjoyed. In an account at once intimate and historical, Doug Hall writes eloquently about his development as a person and an artist. He situates his story within the broader conflicts of the latter part of the twentieth century and shows how these often absurd forces influenced a generation of artists to adopt radical art practices—video, performance, and installation—as a counter to the modernist aesthetics that preceded them. From his hilarious and troubling descriptions of the Altamont Free Concert (1969) and his disorienting confrontation in Berkeley with an LSD-tripping Indian Saddhu to his thoughts about teaching, making art, and the thinking behind some of his most important projects, Hall’s writing is generous and instructive for all those interested in our humanity and how it is nurtured through the arts.

Opera | State of the Jews: World Premiere Opera About Theodor Herzl (in-person and online)


As the Jewish world roiled over Theodor Herzl's bold declarations about Jews being a people rather than followers of a religion, the same debate over what it means to be Jewish ripped apart his marriage to Julie Naschauer Herzl, daughter of a wealthy Viennese family, who had no interest in her husband's fantasies. The first English opera about Herzl, State of the Jews interweaves the political turmoil of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Europe with the relatively unknown story of Theodor's marriage. Featuring Gideon Dabi as Theodor Herzl, Kristin Gornstein as Julie Herzl, Hans Tashjian, Andrew Morstein, and the Temple Emanu-El choir, accompanied by St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble conducted by Emily Senturia. Directed by Omer Ben Seadia with production and lighting design by Joe Beumer and costume design by Barbara Erin Delo. Presented in partnership with American Opera Projects.

Book Discussion | New Books on Housing: Free the Land / Property Journal


Readings and a conversation with Audrea Lim and Amy Ching-Yan Lam on how real estate ownership is woven into our societies.   From skyrocketing rents, to restoring environments & retreating from neighborhoods threatened by climate change, questions of landownership lie at the heart of society’s most pressing issues. Typically grouped together with buildings as real estate, land is rarely discussed in our political discourse. Yet as the writer Audrea Lim describes in Free the Land: How We Can Fight Poverty and Climate Chaos, America’s treatment of it as property and a commodity for profit has not only precipitated racial injustice and environmental destruction, but continues to fuel inequality and the housing & climate crises today. In this conversation, Lim and the artist Amy Ching-Yan Lam discuss how real estate ownership is woven into our cities, societies, relationships and psyches. “It’s fucked up that my parents worked their whole lives (sometimes two jobs) and still can’t afford to buy their own house,” muses Lam in Property Journal, a record she kept of every conversation concerning real estate, property or housing in 2022. “Not that everyone needs to own a house, but in the absence of other forms of security, what else is there?” Childhood friends from the suburban oil city of Calgary, Canada, Lim and Lam reflect on the false promises of the American (and Canadian) Dream, and how the system of real estate ownership profoundly shapes our personal and collective futures.

If the age-related graying of your hair, the aching in your knees and the sagging of various parts of your body torment you, imagine what those changes could mean for a 59-year-old woman whose every feature has been praised since she appeared nude in her first film at the age of 11. But Brooke Shields isn’t bemoaning what she has lost. She’s celebrating what she has found: confidence, power, freedom. In her new book, she paints a portrait of a woman embracing the prime of her life by bucking the narrative about women and aging. She chats with Zibby Owens about outdated myths, refusing to recede into the shadows and writing your own midlife story.

Opening Reception | Ends Without End: Sculptures and Installations by Brazilian Artist


Lucia Nogueira (1950–1998), a Brazilian-born artist based in London, gained recognition for her poetic sculptures, installations, and drawings. Influenced by London’s urban environment and its artistic scene, she incorporated found materials from the streets into her works. In pieces like Ends Without End, she creates open-ended narratives with everyday objects linked by silicone cords. Works such as Needle feature red silicone tubing, adding a sense of playfulness with an unsettling tone. This juxtaposition of the mundane and the foreboding is a recurring theme in Nogueira’s art. Nogueira’s work is held in prominent international collections, including Tate, London, UK; Fundação de Serralves: Museu de Arte Contemporânea, Portugal; Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Portugal; and Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), Spain, among others.

Book Discussion | Raised by Musical Mavericks: Recalling Life Lessons from Pete Seeger, Lightnin' Hopkins, Doc Watson, Rev. Gary Davis and Others by Mitch Greenhill


At age 13, Mitch Greenhill’s life was upended by a series of powerful musicians. As his father Manny Greenhill entered the music business, Pete Seeger, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Joan Baez, Reverend Gary Davis, Doc Watson and a host of others entered the family home. Crucially molded by these encounters, Mitch grew up to inherit that business, to play a lot of guitar, to record albums and to compose for theater. His musical memoir, Raised by Musical Mavericks: Recalling Life Lessons from Pete Seeger, Lightnin' Hopkins, Doc Watson, Rev. Gary Davis and Others, recounts stories from those years of discovery and coming-of-age. A number of Mitch's adventures — including his turn as opening act for Jesse “Lone Cat” Fuller at the Gaslight on MacDougal Street and his decades-long representation of that street’s “mayor” Dave Van Ronk — took place in the West Village. Mitch will read passages from the book, sing and play some songs, and answer questions.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has historically been one of the most important and closely watched local prosecutor's office in the country. The last few years have been no different. "Depending on your perspective, the conviction of Donald Trump on 34 counts in a Manhattan courtroom was either a refreshing affirmation of the rule of law or a miscarriage of justice in a politically motivated prosecution" (Time Magazine). It was Manhattan District Attorney's Office as well which tried to convict veteran Daniel Penny, whom jury found non-guilty.

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 be serving 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 first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm

Film | Dick Tracy (1990) Directed by Warren Beatty, Starring Warren Beatty, Madonna, and Al Pacino


Detective Dick Tracy is looking to prove that Alphonse Big Boy Caprice is the city's most dangerous crime boss. When he meets Breathless Mahoney, a ballroom singer who has witnessed Caprice's crimes firsthand, he may finally have a chance at destroying the crimelord's illegal empire. But Mahoney seems more interested in stealing Dick from his girlfriend Tess, rather than helping him solve the case. Director: Warren Beatty Cast: Warren Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino Warren Beatty is an American actor and filmmaker credited with ushering in New Hollywood in the late 1960s. Beatty's career has spanned over six decades, and he has been nominated for 14 Academy Awards, including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture, two for Best Director, three for Original Screenplay, and one for Adapted Screenplay - winning Best Director for Reds (1981). Beatty is the only person to have been nominated for acting, directing, writing, and producing in the same film, and he did so twice: first for Heaven Can Wait (with Buck Henry as co-director), and again for Reds. Madonna is an American singer, songwriter, and actress known as the "Queen of Pop." She has been widely recognized for her continual reinvention and versatility in music production, songwriting, and visual presentation. She has pushed the boundaries of artistic expression in mainstream music, while continuing to maintain control over every aspect of her career. Her works, which incorporate social, political, sexual, and religious themes, have generated both controversy and critical acclaim. Al Pacino is considered one of the greatest and most influential actors of the 20th century. Pacino has received numerous accolades: including an Academy Award, two Tony Awards, and two Primetime Emmy Awards, making him one of the few performers to have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting.

Book Discussion | Movement: New York's Long War to Take Back its Streets from the Car


Author Nicole Gelinas offers a compelling narrative on the failure of the automobile in New York City and the crucial role of mass transit and revitalized streets in the city's post-pandemic recovery. Spanning a century, Gelinas details how New Yorkers initially struggled to accommodate cars and, over the past fifty years, how advocates have worked to reverse those mistakes, moving beyond the typical "Saint Jane" Jacobs vs. Robert Moses debate to focus on the broader history of planners and protestors. Following her presentation, Gelinas will engage in a discussion with Lynne Sagalyn, a scholar of planning, policy, and real estate, and author of Power at Ground Zero and Times Square Remade: The Dynamics of Urban Change.

Discussion | Zionism in America (in-person and online)


When they heard about Theodor Herzl's bold proclamations about the "Jewish people" and the "Jewish homeland," American Jewish leaders scoffed. But as a growing number of immigrants from Eastern Europe crossed the Atlantic, memories of pogroms fresh in their minds and unconvinced that America would turn out to be Zion, the antipathy began shifting until Zionism became a central facet of American Jewish identity and life. Three prominent scholars will discuss the reasons behind the early hostility to Herzl's ideas, how these views shifted and the challenges Zionism faces within our community today. With: Dr. Anita Shapira, Founder of the Yitzhak Rabin Center and winner of the Israel Prize. Dr. Jonathan Sarna, Director of the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies and the Joseph H. and Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History at Brandeis University. Dr. Mark Raider, professor of Modern Jewish History at the University of Cincinnati. Moderated by Russell F.

Lecture | Why “Frantsuzik”? Why “Bordeaux”? Gallophobia, Intersectionality and Colonial Anxiety in Griboedov’s Woe from Wit (online)


This talk offers a close reading of the expression “Frantsuzik iz Bordo” (“The little Frenchman from Bordeaux”), a famous quote from Alexander Griboedov’s classic comedy Woe from Wit. Relying on existing scholarship on the history of Gallophobia in late Eighteenth- and early Nineteenth-century Russia, it focuses on the emergence of the diminutive form “Frantsuzik”, its evolving meaning throughout the 1810s, and the social, political and gendered connotations attached to it. In a second section, the talk sheds light on the reason why the Russian playwright chose Bordeaux over other French cities as the home town of Famusov’s obnoxious French guest. Drawing on Russian geographical literature from the 1810s and early 1820s, it reconstructs the significations of Bordeaux in the Russian cultural imagination at the time, and explores the identity insecurity it triggered among Griboedov and his contemporaries.

Book Discussion | Between Borders: The Great Jewish Migration from Eastern Europe


Between the 1860s and the early 1920s, more than two million Jews moved from Eastern Europe to the United States while smaller groups moved to other destinations, such as Western Europe, Palestine, and South Africa. During and after the First World War hundreds of thousands of Jews were permanently displaced across Eastern Europe. Migration restrictions that were imposed after 1914, especially in the United States, prevented most from reaching safe havens, and an unknown but substantial number of Jews perished during the Holocaust-as they had been displaced in Eastern Europe years before they were deported to ghettos and killing sites. Even after the Holocaust, tens of thousands of Jewish survivors were stranded in permanent transit for many years. Tobias Brinkmann's book tells and contextualizes the stories of these Jewish migrants and refugees before and after the First World War. It explains how immigration laws in countries such as the United States influenced migration routes around the world. Using memoirs, letters, and accounts by investigative journalists and Jewish aid workers, Brinkmann sheds light on the experiences of individual migrants, some of whom laid the foundation for migration and refugee studies as a field of scholarship, even coining terms such as "displaced person," and contributing to its legal definition at the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention. The stories of these migrants and refugees were used to propose a new future for the United States, reimagining it as a pluralistic society-one comprised of immigrants.
