(Canceled) Join us on August 24 on the patio at Sisters Pizza for a fun summer afternoon with local artist Jill Roberts. We will create a beautiful painting, sip wine, and enjoy Sister's Pizza!

Artist Jill Roberts will provide step-by-step instructions; using acrylics on canvas. The ticket price includes all painting supplies, a complimentary glass of wine, and a slice of pizza. All participants will take home a completed work of art! Transitional Bridge's mission is dual-purposed. Our mission entails increasing the delivery of sensitivity and compassion inspired through art. When a loved one passes in an institutional setting, family members are frequently handed back belongings in a clear plastic bag. We are here to help change this practice and provide a compassionate alternative with art-inspired Transitional Belongings Bags. Our second purpose is to reduce the financial burdens patients experience due to serious injury or illness. Our Patient Assistant Program provides small grants to help individuals cover costs for items such as food, rent, daycare, utilities, transportation, medicine, and other medical expenses. Since the program launched, we have provided fifty small grants to patients in need locally and throughout the country. Our Patient Assistance Program is only possible through the generosity of donors.

From the KPBS weekend arts preview: The Nunavut Inuit indigenous community in Canada follows at least six seasons on their calendar, based on hunting and migration cues. This calendar informed a new work from composer and UC San Diego professor of music Lei Liang, based on a long collaboration with Scripps Institute of Oceanography scientists — specifically recordings made from the floor of the remote Chukchi Sea by oceanographers. In a live performance, Liang weaves new music with those sounds from the ocean, including water noises, the movement of ice and the sounds of belugas and other ocean creatures. The composition's title might suggest Vivaldi, but Liang's piece explores the transitions and journeys found in the sea, inspired by each Inuit season. The piece is for electronics (the recordings) and strings (primarily in response to the recordings), commissioned by Mivos Quartet, and they'll perform the work in a unique and immersive concert presented by ArtPower UCSD. Details: 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022. Conrad Prebys Music Center, 9500 Gilman Dr., UC San Diego. $9-$30. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From ArtPower: UC San Diego Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor, composer Lei Liang has been collaborating with Scripps oceanographers John Hildebrand and Joshua Jones in exploring the sound of the Chukchi Sea in the Arctic—one of the most inaccessible places to humans on earth. The resulting composition, Six Seasons, combines the sound of the ambient environment (ice, waves, wind), its inhabitants (beluga whales, bowhead whales, bearded seals)—captured by hydrophones deployed at the sea floor—and creative response from one of the world’s leading contemporary music string quartets, Mivos Quartet.
