Opening Reception | Imprinted Time: Solo Glasswork Exhibition Exploring Memory Preserved
In this exhibition, fatherhood is an experience of time travel. Moving forward and backward at once -- walking through time with your child as they move through the world while imagining how you once moved through it. Reaching into the past, excavating stored gestures you didn't know were there: the way you were held, the way time stretched and collapsed in the small rooms of childhood. It is not just witnessing a child grow; it is feeling time bend, layer, repeat. Glass holds this same logic. It carries its past -- every heat, every touch, every stretch stays within its form. It is a record, a body full of movement. Imprinted Time invites the viewer into that compression -- object and person, past and present, held together in material that remembers.

He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for From Here to Eternity (1953).

Classical Music | "Multifaceted" String Ensemble Performs Contemporary Works by Emerging Composers
Celebrated for their "multifaceted artistry" and "brilliantly idiomatic" programming (The New York Times), the members of the contemporary string ensemble Poiesis Quartet perform a program scheduled to include compositions by Max Lang, Maya Irizarry Lambright, Kevin Lau, and Michi Wiancko. The Quartet actively seeks to expand the modern instrumental canon by presenting works by emerging LGBTQIA+ composers of color. Poiesis' 2024 debut LP, as we are, featuring internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Nancy Maultsby, was lauded by Cleveland Classical for its "bottomless depth." 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 for all.
