SUMMARY:On Set with Reyna Núñez 
DESCRIPTION:On Set with Reyna Núñez\nFriday May 8\, 6-8PM\n*Content Transparency: This program contains mature themes and topics. Parental discretion advised.* \nAn open rehearsal with Reyna Núñez while she captures vignettes centered around the layered themes of freedom\, love\, sensuality and intimacy on film. Reyna will explore how emotion\, humanity\, connection and movement translates through digital film recordings. A deep dive into a different art of storytelling.   \nThis is an open rehearsal format\, audience members are welcome to join us anytime throughout the 2-hour rehearsal. \nAbout Reyna Núñez\n2025 Dance Lab NY Choreographer and 2023 Frankie Manning Foundation Fellow\, Reyna Núñez\, is a New York City–raised dancer\, choreographer\, international educator\, and visionary shaped by the city’s rich cultural tapestry. Her movement is rooted in the freedom of feminine expression\, spanning street and club forms\, partnered social dance\, and contemporary practices.  \nHer expansive career includes work with Janet Jackson\, Lizzo\, Karol G\, and Louie Vega\, with appearances in In The Heights and campaigns for Adidas\, Aldo\, and Amazon Audible. Reyna moves fluidly between performance\, direction\, and administration\, having served as Rehearsal Director for The Jazz Continuum and the Ladies of Hip-Hop Dance Collective.  \nReyna continues to build her own work and cultivate an authentic artistic community at home in NYC\, recently making her directorial debut with Spilata’s The Cuntiest short film. Along the way\, Reyna supports fellow artists in bringing their visions to life while continuing to shape and share stories of her own.   \n@queeendelsol  \n——–  \nThis event is an Artist Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner. \nThis Residency and Community Program are made possible through BAC’s partnership with Works & Process at the Guggenheim. BAC is proud to partner with Works & Process\, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim to support creators of the performing arts and incubate new works. As two organizations committed to supporting artists across disciplines and in various stages of their artistic process\, the partnership is a natural fit.

SUMMARY:NEW DATES! Long Pose Life Drawing Session with Peter Leeds
DESCRIPTION:Due to inclement weather\, this session will be postponed from January 2026 to April 24-26\, 2026!\n\nLong Pose Life Drawing Session with Peter Leeds\nApril 24-26\, 2026\nFriday\, April 24 5:30-8:30PM\nSaturday\, April 25 10AM – 4PM (w/ 30-minute lunch break)\nSunday\, April 26 10AM – 4PM (w/ 30-minute lunch break)\nClass Fee: $200.00 – Registration Required \nClick Here to Register!  \nJoin us for an uninstructed long-pose life drawing session—perfect for intermediate to advanced artists and students (18+) looking to practice and hone their skills.  \nThis figure drawing session features a live nude model. One model + one pose for the entire session for about 15 hours\, with breaks (of course). This session will begin with a quick warm-up and then focus on one pose for the entirety of the three sessions with both model breaks and 30-minute lunch breaks (bring your own lunch). Our model will require at least a five-minute rest period every 20 minutes\, though if the pose chosen is quite relaxed\, the model may choose to keep their position for longer.  \nWith the longer pose\, you can have the luxury of taking your time with measuring and proportions. Time to think and plan your drawing… and use your better-quality papers if we’ve been saving them!\n\nLonger poses allow for focused\, complete\, or experimental study. This uninstructed long pose emphasizes composition\, narrative\, accuracy\, style exploration\, and creative approaches.  \nIf you’ve spent a bit of time at our monthly Drink and Draw life drawing sessions and/or with life-drawing in shorter 5-\, 10-\, and 20-minute poses\, it might be time to move on to the longer poses. This is where all your practice pays off\, as you’ve now become familiar with the human figure and how it’s put together.   \nPlease bring your own supplies and your favorite easel (if you have one). We will have limited drawing supplies and easels available. If you would like to work in a different medium\, clay\, paints\, etc. or have any questions regarding drawing materials\, contact Peter by email at pete@peterleedsart.com.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - A Study in Passion and Precision - Brenda L. Montanile
DESCRIPTION:A Study in Passion and Precision\nBrenda L. Montanile\nApril 11 – May 16\, 2026\n \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 1-4PM \nA Study in Passion and Precision reflects the deep personal commitment I bring to my mosaic practice. These works hold hours of repetition\, doubt\, adjustment\, and resolve\, as well as moments of joy found throughout the creative process. They invite close examination and slow viewing\, offering a space where intensity builds quietly\, piece by piece. \nWings appear frequently in my work as symbols of movement\, comfort\, protection\, and transformation. They hold a sense of freedom and spirit within their form. \nThis exhibition reflects my ongoing relationship with mosaic as a medium and my determination to study and honor this ancient art form within a contemporary context. The works are constructed\, one piece\, one tessera at a time. Each tessera\, whether smalti\, glass\, stone\, gold\, slate\, or ceramic\, is cut\, placed\, adjusted\, and fixed by hand\, and every decision remains visible. \nFor me\, this is where precision enters the work. Precision is not control alone\, but an act of care and discipline\, shaped through attention\, patience\, and steady focus. Yet the work does not begin there. It begins with passion\, an emotional pull toward an idea\, an element\, or a color that I feel compelled to follow\, guided by curiosity and delight. \nI am drawn to the tension between these two forces. Passion initiates the work through devotion to both my inner voice and the language of mosaic itself. Precision sustains it. Together\, for me\, they have shaped a practice that requires commitment\, presence\, and time\, allowing the work to emerge through deliberate creativity. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 1-4PM\nGallery Hours (Starting April 13)\nMonday – Friday 10AM-4PM \n \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Brenda L. Montanile\n\nBrenda L. Montanile is a contemporary mosaic artist based in Puerto Rico. Her education includes study with leading masters in the field and is classically trained in traditional tools and techniques rooted in ancient mosaic practices. With nearly twenty years of study\, her practice reflects a deep dedication to mosaic as both discipline and devotion. Montanile has exhibited her work in Puerto Rico and nationally and is a teaching artist on staff at The Chicago Mosaic School. \n

SUMMARY:Work-In-Progress Showing of Doomscrollers: A Body of Dangerous Ideas: Part 3 with Raja Feather Kelly & the feath3r theory
DESCRIPTION:Work-In-Progress Showing of Doomscrollers: A Body of Dangerous Ideas: Part 3\nwith Raja Feather Kelly & the feath3r theory \n@ BAC Open House 2026\nDate & Time: Saturday\, April 4\, 2026 1-2PM \nDoomscrollers: A Body of Dangerous Ideas: Part 3 is a danced-theater investigation of danger as both threat and threshold: how it lives in the body\, how in search for connection intimacy itself can be perilous\, and how media shapes our sympathies for violence and collapse. Inspired by Claire Bishop’s Disordered Attention and Daniel Sherrell’s Warmth\, the work asks what it means to live at the hinge between digital saturation and planetary crisis\, between the infinite scroll and the finite planet. In this space\, the body becomes a site of translation\, distortion\, and possibility. This performance will not offer escape or easy answers; instead\, it asks you to sit inside the uncertainty and risk of our moment\, to witness danger not as spectacle but as a condition we share. \nAbout the feath3r theory\nthe feath3r theory (TF3T) is a New York City based dance-theatre-media company that produces the work of Artistic Director and Choreographer Raja Feather Kelly. As a collaboration of dancers\, actors\, filmmakers\, musicians\, photographers\, and designers\, our mission is to broaden the space for unheard voices and repressed histories\, to bring into the theatre those sometimes left out\, and to use theatre to provoke much-needed public conversations. the feath3r theory does this by challenging its audience and its creators to collectively interrogate – and celebrate – its shared relationship to human empathy and personal ethics as expressed in and distorted by popular media. By unabashedly appropriating the structures\, themes\, and aesthetics of reality television\, celebrity culture\, social media and the internet\, the work of TF3T synthesizes dance\, visual media\, and narrative theatre into virtuosic and expansive\, productions in which artists and audience alike experience their shared humanity. \nMain image courtesy of the feath3r theory

The artists will be preparing a program centered on collaboration and storytelling\, including a performance of Julius Eastman’s seminal work Stay On It\, reimagined with serpentwithfeet as vocalist and narrator. \nThe rehearsal will explore a continuous set Alarm Will Sound and serpentwithfeet will perform at the University of Pennsylvania. That set weaves together spoken poetry\, music\, and projected video. serpentwithfeet will share newly written text and poetry alongside readings connected to Eastman’s work\, while the ensemble gradually builds into the electrifying musical textures of Stay On It. The performance will also feature “invoice\,” one of serpentwithfeet’s own songs\, newly orchestrated for Alarm Will Sound. \nOpen rehearsals offer a unique window into how artists shape a performance: experimenting\, refining ideas\, and building the musical and theatrical connections that audiences will ultimately experience on stage. \nWe hope you’ll join us for this informal and inspiring glimpse into the collaborative process. \nLearn more about Alarm Will Sound here! \nPhoto Credit: Nir Arieli – Alarm Will Sound @ Irish Arts Center 2024 \nThis event is a Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program.

SUMMARY:Call for Teen Artists! BAC + ENU Builds Teen Arts Residency 2026-2027 - Application Open
DESCRIPTION:Call for Teen Artists!\nOur applications are open for the BAC & ENU Builds 2026-27 Teen Arts Residency open to rising high school juniors and seniors in the NY-NJ-CT tri-state area.\n\n\nBethany Arts Community (BAC) offers residencies to emerging and established artists for the development of both new works and works-in-progress. In partnership with ENU Builds\, we identified a need across our communities to build a residency for the most emerging artists: high school artists of all mediums. \nENUBuilds and the Bethany Arts Community are thrilled to be hosting the 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency. The 1st Teen Arts Residency in February 2024 welcomed seven local students to Bethany for three days. Over the course of three days\, students had time and space to work on their craft\, collaborate with one another\, and learn from a mentor. From this original cohort\, our Annual Teen Arts Residency continues to grow. Currently\, the program is split up over two 4-day portions of the residency over the academic year\, taking on up to seven high school Juniors and Seniors. \nThe 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency will take place in both Fall 2026 and Spring 2027.
