  • Celebrate the season at Silent Movie Mondays with a special double feature! "Old Scrooge," starring Seymour Hicks, is a British film adaptation of the timeless holiday tale "A Christmas Carol." It originally premiered in the UK in 1913 as "Scrooge" and began playing across the pond with its new title in 1926. "A Dog’s Life" is a heartwarming short film featuring Charlie Chaplin as his famous “tramp” character. Edna Purviance plays his leading lady, but Chaplin’s true onscreen support is Scraps, the titular canine companion.

  • Just like all previous summers since the pandemic began, COVID-19 cases are ticking up again, even while other health threats make more headlines.
  • Join us for a local debut by the Hamilton de Holanda Trio. De Holanda, one of Brazil’s most celebrated musicians, is a global ambassador for Brazilian music. Picking up the mandolin at the age of five, he revolutionized the 10-string version of the instrument, blending Brazilian traditions with jazz and other global influences. JazzTimes wrote, “Mandolin virtuoso and composer de Holanda proves the limitless capabilities of the Brazilian bandolim as a solo instrument.” DownBeat called him an “absolute maestro of rhythm and improvisation.” A four-time Latin grammy award winner with 17 nominations, de Holanda has earned international recognition and amassed over 14 million streams across 180 countries, with 800,000 monthly listeners on Spotify in 2024. His music is rooted in the vibrant choro street jams of Brasília. Hamilton de Holanda on Facebook / Instagram
  • El gobierno del presidente Donald Trump ha exigido a los estados que "deshagan" los beneficios completos del Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP por sus iniciales en inglés) que hayan sido pagado al amparo de las órdenes judiciales emitidas la semana pasada, después de que la Corte Suprema federal suspendió estos pagos.
  • The latest album from Neal Francis, "Return To Zero," emerged from the kind of visionary fever dream that only the most masterful and inventive artists are capable of bringing to life. Amid a grueling tour schedule that found him playing nearly 400 shows from 2021 to 2024, the Chicago-based singer/songwriter/pianist immersed himself in creating a beautifully strange entangling of timeless rock & roll and ’70s-era dance music, merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves—all constructed sans digital programming, in keeping with his devotion to all things analog. Worlds away from the glitzy fantasia of archetypal disco, "Return To Zero" inhabits a far moodier atmosphere and ultimately makes for the most thrilling manifestation of Francis’ peerless musicality yet.

  • What is this…"Artist’s Way"? Maybe you had a friend who read through it years ago and made some significant breakthroughs. Or you’ve had the book on your bookshelf and promised yourself–this is the year I open it!–every year? Or you took a class long ago…but don’t remember much. Wherever you are at, this is for ANYONE who wants to live a more creative, intentional life. "The Artist’s Way" is for novices and working artists of all types, including writers, visual artists, actors, dancers, musicians…ANYONE who recognizes their innate creativity. In a supportive and safe setting, we will: - Acquaint ourselves with the basics and tools of "The Artist’s Way" (by Julia Cameron) - Work on activities meant to break through some of our creative blocks and give us better insight into creative work we might consider pursuing - And more! Week 1 will be an intro to the program. The next six weeks will be devoted to the chapters (and creative practices), and the last week is a final creative presentation by each student. If you’re able, bring a copy of "The Artist’s Way" (many available at the local libraries) and a journal or sketchbook. No previous arts experience required.

  • Join the Ilan-Lael Foundation for their Pacific Rim Park Picnic on November 22 at Shelter Island Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This free event allows guests to participate in workshops as they reflect on the communities that came together for the Pacific Rim project. There will be free art stations onsite allowing guests to experiment with art and reflect on our coastal home. One of the workshops with clay gives guests a hands-on look at an upcoming exhibit at Oceanside Museum of Art. Shelter Island is home to a public art piece created by the late artist James Hubbell, alongside students from around the globe. The “Pearl of the Pacific” highlights how art and architecture can transcend cultural divides, inspire dialogue, and serve as tools of diplomacy, especially a timely message in a world marked by increasing polarization. Through the Ilan-Lael Foundation, his vision lives on in annual peace walks and ongoing Art Diplomacy initiatives, including the creation of new peace parks worldwide. In spirit of bringing the community together, the picnic will be potluck style. Each guest is encouraged to bring a dish inspired by the diverse countries around the Pacific Rim and can sign up online. Parking at the event is first come first serve and the foundation encourages guests to carpool.
