Opening Reception | Blur: Multi-Artist Photography Exhibition on the Creative Possibilities of Intentional Imperfections
The exhibition Blur explores the creative possibilities of controlled imperfections in photography. Photographers have more tools than just sharp focus. Using selective focus, motion blur, contrast, and multiple exposure, to name a few techniques, the photographer can guide the viewer's eye, highlighting important parts of the frame, sometimes suggesting motion, or not. This joint exhibition brings together photographic artists to explore the expressive power of intentional imperfection in contemporary photography. See how these works demonstrate the photographer's power to go beyond capturing a scene to creating a more dynamic and emotionally engaging image. They explore depth and nuance found when images aren't perfect; moving away from perfectly sharp images.    New York City, NY; NYC

Synopsis: On a beautiful spring day, a falcon named Pellegrino flies happily over the Strait of Messina at dawn and sees a colorful bridge connecting the two shores.

The falcon first meets Scylla, the six-headed monster who terrorizes sailors crossing the two shores of the strait, then Charybdis, who causes the whirlpools and currents of this beautiful stretch of sea, and finally Colapesce, a boy who has become half man and half fish and supports on his shoulder the column that holds up the city of Messina.

Concert | Singer-Songwriter David Rivera Brings Caribbean Tropical Rhythms to the Stage
Hear a concert from David Rivera, a singer-songwriter, drummer, and leader of the band La Bambula. Rivera has developed a sound with universal appeal, centered on the fusion of Caribbean tropical rhythms with elements of modern music. In his own words: "I don't define my music within a single category; rather, it's a fusion that weaves together hip-hop beats, funk, R&B, and touches of electronic music with the echoes of 1970s salsa and the rich Caribbean and Puerto Rican tradition--perfect for jazz lovers, dancers, and even for the heart." Setting the stage is Discolocas, a club night established in March 2022 to provide a safe, supportive space where women selectors and DJs could feel comfortable sharing their vinyl selections. Expect to be moved by everything from vintage rumba, salsa, and cumbia to experimental sounds.    New York City, NY; NYC
