Dave Koz and Friends announce the 25th anniversary edition of the longest-running jazz-based Christmas tour. Kicking off on November 25 (Black Friday) at Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, the run will feature chart-topping, GRAMMY®-nominated saxophonist Dave Koz along with trumpeter Rick Braun and guitarist Peter White – artists that accompanied him on the road in the earliest years of the tour – as well as pianist Keiko Matsui and vocalist Rebecca Jade. The annual tradition began as a simple six-city tour with David Benoit that coincided with the 1997 release of Koz’s first Christmas album – "December Makes Me Feel This Way". This year, they’ll be playing 23 cities. While each year of the tour has been unique, the quintet has lots of surprises in store for 2022. For starters, they’ll be giving songs from the forthcoming companion album Christmas Ballads (25th Anniversary Collection) their live debut. Follow on Facebook & Instagram!

Artist Yaw Owusu will be "in-residence" and working from 3-5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday from Sept. 9 through Oct. 9, 2022. From the museum: The Institute of Contemporary Art, San Diego (ICA San Diego) is excited to announce Yaw Owusu as the first Artist-in-Residence of our 2022-2023 Season Limitless Growth, Limited World, marking the artist’s first solo exhibition in San Diego. What is the value of a penny? This question is at the center of Artist-in-Residence Yaw Owusu’s exhibition A Penny, for What It’s Worth in which Owusu deconstructs the exchange rates of copper through the different stages of being; from raw material, to monetary value, to art, to the art market. Art lovers can observe Owusu’s elaborate artistic process as he employs unique techniques for oxidizing pennies, altering the copper coins into varying hues of bronze, blue, gold, green, pink, black and white for his visually striking sculptural wall pieces. Owusu’s transformation of something as common as a penny into pieces of art captures new perspectives on value when recontextualized. The copper used in the construction of pennies has doubled in value since 2016, and due to inflation is worth more than the penny itself. By uniting the raw material with the penny’s monetary value, Owusu transforms the depreciated copper into art objects whose value is decided by social, cultural, and economic exchange.
