Workshop | Accessible, Grounding, & Deeply Restorative Yoga in the Park


Flow together and celebrate community through mindful movement with Yoga Sangraha.

Led with science and tradition at the heart, this class will guide you through a sequence of postures designed to balance, stabilize, and calm the body and mind. The word Sangraha means “a collection,” and this practice brings together postures and breathwork that activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you leave feeling focused, connected, and at ease. No prior experience needed — come as you are! Bring a bottled water. Organizers will provide the yoga mats. Weather permitting.

Gallery Talk | Photographer Disusses Her Exhibition Exploring the Possibility & Imposed Limitations of the American Landscape 


Enjoy an artist talk exploring the processes and themes that make up Hannah Smith Allen's solo exhibition, On Broken Ground. On Broken Ground includes a selection of still photographs, unique screen prints, collage, and a video installation shown alongside Borderlands, an accordion book. Spanning recent works along with those made during Donald Trump’s first presidency, the exhibition explores the American landscape as a site of both possibility and imposed limitations. In dialogue with her collaged landscapes, several new screen prints juxtapose the border landscape with imagery from President Trump’s 250th Anniversary military parade, showcasing the underlying tension between the pageantry of power and the stillness of the desert. The exhibition also features a new iteration of Allen’s video installation, Dream States, which she originally exhibited in 2025. In this version, stop-motion animations that the artist originally captured via Google Earth are projected onto target stands and newspaper clippings. These hallucinatory sequences depict the sky between the United States and Mexico alongside digital revelations of a broken border wall.

Concert | Spontaneous & Deeply Attuned Musical Duo You-On Takes the Stage


Enjoy a musical performance by You-On, the debut collaboration between pianist, composer, and improviser Masami Tomihisa and drummer Jim White, celebrating the release of their first album, New Side. The name You-On combines two Japanese characters: asobu, meaning “to play” or “to have fun,” and on, meaning “sound.” Together, the duo creates music of striking intuition and otherworldly beauty. As heard on New Side, the interplay between Tomihisa and White is uncanny—an improvisational connection that feels both spontaneous and deeply attuned.

Play | Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: Historical Tragedy in the Park


This iconic Shakespearean tragedy follows the political conspiracy that led to the assassination of the Roman dictator Julius Caesar and Rome's subsequent civil war.  Written by William Shakespeare.
