SUMMARY:Materiality and Memory with Karen Ami & Pamela Irving

Students will be given workbooks\, some drawing and other materials and use of tools that are included with the workshop. \nAbout Karen\nKaren Ami is passionate about facilitating collaborations\, sharing knowledge and an informed understanding of mosaic art. and continues to be an ambassador for the school and the art form. In addition to establishing and leading CMS for 18 years\, she is a curator\, lecturer and practitioner and is currently pursuing a PhD in Creative Studies.

SUMMARY:Beauty Beyond Gender – Works by Thomas Evans
DESCRIPTION:Beauty Beyond Gender\nWorks by Thomas Evans\nNovember 3-15\, 2024 \n \nThis exhibit is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound beauty that arises when we honor our true selves. Embracing the freedom to express oneself requires immense courage. Thomas’s art honors that transformative journey. All the subjects in this project have bravely challenged traditional norms; embracing the fluidity of their identities and the full spectrum of human expression. \nThe visuals unfold in three phases: Curiosity\, Cost\, and Couture. First\, you will view Curiosity; without curiosity there would only be conformity. Next in the exhibit comes Cost; for those who are brave enough to be curious\, there is often a violent price to pay. Finally\, you will reach Couture; a state only reached through truth\, authenticity\, and joy.\n \nExhibit Dates: November 3-15\, 2024 \nOpening Reception: Sunday\, November 3\, 2024 2-4PM \nGallery Hours (Starting on November 4):\nMonday – Friday: 10AM-4PM\nSaturday\, November 9: 10AM-4PM \nAbout Thomas Evans\n“In his art\, Thomas has no fear\,” wrote Christopher Harrity of Advocate Magazine. “His camera is an open door to the world.” \nIn other words?  Thomas Evans is fearless\, and from the moment he was gifted with a camera\, he has used his platform to empower others to be the same. His camera was a catalyst for his own personal transformation. The world opened widely for Evans once he learned that he could be far more creative behind the lens than in front of it. His “less-than-usual\,” gender-fluid style is a challenge to both his subjects and his patrons\, walking the delicate line between play and provocation\, masculine and feminine\, class and glamour. Simply put\, his portfolio is an exposition and celebration of the authentic self. \nBeginning with just raw talent and a natural sense of lighting and composition\, Evans worked to hone his distinctive style through his study at the International Center for Photography\, where he took an interest in photoshop\, color correcting and image processing. Photographers Mike Ruiz and Patrick McMullan would serve as great inspiration during his creative development\, and later become mentors. He would later work with McMullan at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City\, becoming a staple photographer for the event during his developing years. \nIt didn’t take long for print outlets to take notice of Evans’ eye-catching work. His keen ability to identify the photographic needs of publishers and advertisers proved lucrative\, and has led to features in Vogue\, The Advocate\, Go\, People\, Paper\, Harper’s Bazaar\, Next\, A&U\, Dark Beauty and Out Magazine. Like his spirit\, his abilities are multifaceted. His innate artistic vision has helped him build and manage celebrated brands\, direct music videos\, and cultivate shows using \nThomas’s diverse accomplishments have allowed him to represent the scene he cares most about - his own. He has become a critically acclaimed photographer in the vibrant arts and LGBTQ+ community in New York City. He is the photographer of choice for internationally acclaimed drag queens including Alaska\, Raven\, Bianca De Rio\, Aja and Shanglea (to name a few). Evans shot Rodrigo Alves\, now Jessica Alves\, for his wildly successful campaign called Femme the Man. The series\, aimed at breaking down society’s prescribed labels of masculinity and femininity\, quickly caught fire and was featured on prominent German television networks. In order to further its impact\, Evans led a masterclass for the photography students of Central Connecticut State University\, guiding them through a day on set for Femme the Man\, and teaching them about the transformative power of photography. \nEvans feels a philanthropic responsibility not only to the community of budding photographers\, but to the world at large. In his crusade to fight shame\, he works as Creative Director for Health Care Advocates International\, an organization that fights stigma and discrimination within the HIV and LGBTQ community. After aiding nearly 2\,000 people from the rural villages of Zimbabwe in being tested and educated about HIV\, he co-created\, alongside Dr. Gary Blick\, the multi-media campaign called “HIV Equal\,” now called Stigma Warriors. \nIn his art\, Thomas is a pioneer\, guiding our divisive world toward the vision of the one in his lens; a world of acceptance\, tolerance\, love and equality. \nTo learn more about Thomas Evans\, click here!

They have established a reputation for performing demanding music with energetic skill. The New York Times says that Alarm Will Sound is “one of the most vital and original ensembles on the American music scene.” \nWith classical skill and unlimited curiosity\, Alarm Will Sound takes on music from a wide variety of styles. Its repertoire ranges from European to American works\, from the arch-modernist to the pop-influenced. The group itself includes many composer-performers\, which allows for an unusual degree of insight into the creation and performance of new work. \nAlarm Will Sound is the resident ensemble at the Mizzou International Composers Festival. Held each July at the University of Missouri in Columbia\, the festival features eight world premieres by early-career composers. \nAlarm Will Sound may be heard on eighteen recordings\, including For George Lewis | Autoshchediasms\, their most recent release featuring music of Tyshawn Sorey. Their genre-bending\, critically acclaimed Acoustica features live-performance arrangements of music by electronica guru Aphex Twin. \nIn 2016\, Alarm Will Sound in a co-production with Opera Theatre of St. Louis\, presented the world premiere of the staged version of Donnacha Dennehy’s The Hunger at the BAM Next Wave Festival and the Touhill Performing Arts Center. \nIn 2013-14\, Alarm Will Sound served as artists-in-residence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. During that season\, the ensemble presented four large ensemble performances at the Met\, including two site-specific productions staged in museum galleries (Twinned\, a collaboration with Dance Heginbotham and I Was Here I Was I\, a new theatrical work by Kate Soper and Nigel Maister). \nIn 2011\, at Carnegie Hall\, the group presented 1969\, a multimedia event that uses music\, images\, text\, and staging to tell the compelling story of great musicians—John Lennon\, Karlheinz Stockhausen\, Paul McCartney\, Luciano Berio\, Yoko Ono\, and Leonard Bernstein—striving for a new music and a new world amidst the turmoil of the late 1960s. \nAlarm Will Sound has been presented by Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, (le) Poisson Rouge\, Miller Theatre\, Brooklyn Academy of Music\, the Kitchen\, the Bang on a Can Marathon\, Disney Hall\, Kimmel Center\, Library of Congress\, the Walker Arts Center\, Cal Performances\, Stanford Lively Arts\, Duke Performances\, and the Warhol Museum.

SUMMARY:Open Rehearsal with Full Circle Souljahs
DESCRIPTION:Open Rehearsal with Full Circle Souljahs\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, December 17\, 2024 6:30-7:30 PM \nJoin Full Circle Souljahs for a special open rehearsal as we continue to develop “Algo-rhythm” (previously: Wus Poppin)\, a celebration of the intergenerational exchange within New York City’s Poppin community. Legendary Boogiers/Poppers Kwikstep and Rokafella are leading a collective of dancers from various generations to explore the balance between freestyle and choreography. This work touches on themes such as isolation and the everyday life of a street dancer\, offering a glimpse into the soul of hip-hop culture. \nAfter the rehearsal\, stay for a Q&A where the Kwikstep and Rolafella will discuss the integration of freestyle and choreography\, how this style of dance differs from other hip-hop forms\, and the importance of passing knowledge between generations. Whether you’re a dance enthusiast\, hip-hop supporter\, or curious about the creative process\, this is an opportunity to witness the work unfold and engage with the artists shaping it! \n\nAbout Full Circle Productions\nFull Circle Productions\, founded in ’92 by Kwikstep established as a non profit in ’96 with the help of Rokafella and Violet Galagarza is embarking on another year of cutting-edge Hip-Hop on local and international stages\, streets\, cyphas\, and the industry. \nUnder the direction of Kwikstep and Rokafella\, the company aims to provide training to aspiring Hip hop dancers in New York City and local areas with a particular focus on the cultural roots\, the trajectory and growth of the classic styles and how Hip-hop is interpreted globally and commercially. \nFull Circle provided an equitable environment for women to train and perform breaking repertoire comparable to their male counterparts on and off stage. Members\, who range in age from teens to early fifties\, help to create a network of interactive empowerment for elders and youth. Kwikstep and Rokafella offer multi faceted opportunities to learn about NYC Hip-hop history\, the industry and life lessons which in time foster a self sufficient artistic world of young leaders\, integral masters and elders. Full Circle has hosted international Hip hop contemporary companies visiting NYC and represented Hip-Hop at places once intangible to the street vibe such as The Library of Congress in Washington D.C.\, where they have the credit of being the first Hip-Hop group to grace the stage. Their repertoire of soulful resilience brings the universal sense of struggle as a common link that unites us all. \nVarious music videos\, national dance tours\, commercials and films feature members and students of Full Circle as a testament to how the directors empower dancers to balance both community and commercial work. Full Circle has inspired young dancers to host their own open-dance sessions\, impacted the theater realm with street aesthetics\, shifted dance festival programming to uplift Hip hop’s cultural elements and most importantly stepped into educational forums with the message that Hip-hop is a continuum of afro diasporic social expression despite the mainstream’s superficial portrayals. Producing a documentary about women in Breaking/Street dance\, creating evening length as well as short theatrical pieces\, offering cultural workshops and planning seasonal dance events comprise the variety of programs Full Circle offers to support the cycles of growth in the community while paying respects to our ancestors. \nFind out more at www.fullcirclesouljahs.com

SUMMARY:Black History & Culture: Eyes Wide Open
DESCRIPTION:Black History & Culture:\nEyes Wide Open\n“Until the lion tells his side of the story\, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” – African Proverb  \nThe 2025 Bethany Arts Community Black History exhibit “Black History & Culture: Eyes Wide Open” is a transformative journey that our society has long awaited.

This commitment includes each one of us\, making us all responsible for understanding and respecting the history of African Americans.
