Live concert “Beauty, power and ferocity all mixed together with love and hope.” This describes singer-songwriter-activists Pat Humphries and Sandy O, known as Emma's Revolution, with fearless, truth-telling lyrics and melodies you can’t resist singing. The duo are in their 20th year performing together. Emma’s Revolution's songs have traveled around the world and have been sung for the Dalai Lama, praised by Pete Seeger and covered by Holly Near. With one eye on the news, Emma’s Revolution consistently writes songs about critical issues happening in the world and enthusiastically lends their voices to the movements those issues inspire. “Our House is on Fire” was selected as the opening track for Hope Rises, a compilation CD from a national nonprofit co-founded by Noel (Paul) Stookey of Peter, Paul & Mary. “Keep on Moving Forward” opened the UN’s Committee on the Status of Women’s Bejiing+25 Conference. The song originally opened the NGO Forum of the 4th UN World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, becoming its unofficial anthem. Emma’s Revolution are winners of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize and the first Phil Ochs Award.

From the organizers: A flood of generative AI (artificial intelligence) tools are transforming how we create words and images. Art and design—and other fields—are in upheaval due to apps like MidJourney, Dall-E, and others. Anyone with any level of experience or talent can now create high-quality images in seconds from a text prompt. Organized by independent curator Vallo Riberto, this panel will explore the questions - What is this technology, and what is it not? Is it really art? How does it impact careers, culture, aesthetics, ethics, and the law? How do we adapt? Join us for a panel discussion with digital art professionals: Memo Akten, PhD, Stephen Burns, Kaz Maslanka, and Larry Vogel. Oceanside Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram
