SUMMARY:Dialogues in Dual Languages: Artists and Poets Converse
DESCRIPTION:When people speak in different languages\, how do they develop empathy and understanding? When the world is full of noise and misinformation\, how do we learn to listen and to hear each other? “Dialogues in Dual Languages: Artists and Poets Converse” presents thirteen pairs of visual artists and poets in collaborations that seek to illuminate\, advance\, reflect\, and resonate with one another. In some cases\, poets have responded to their partner’s painting or 3D object. In others\, visual artists have created a new piece in response to a poem. Some visual artists and poets have designed a new project together\, giving voice to emotion or theme that resonated for both. \nWhile artists and poets both employ form\, pattern\, and structure\, artists work in matter\, in materials that occupy space\, whether two- or three-dimensional\, engaging the viewer’s visual and sometimes tactile senses. Poets speak in breath\, in sonic devices\, in words that have duration and exist in time\, whether appearing on a page or spoken\, engaging the viewer’s visual and/or auditory senses. These differences spark creative dialogue and discovery for the artist and the poet as well as the viewer. \nArtist and Poet Pairs: \nCal Wenby & Tom Daley\, Connie Saems & Wendy Drexler\, Felice Mendell & Deborah Leipziger\, Lillian Hsu & Sarah Dickenson Snyder\, Linda Hoffman & Jennifer Jean\, Leslie Goldman & Cynthia Bargar\, Matt Carrano & Tom Laughlin\, Nedret Andre & Cheryl Clark Vermeulen\, Phyllis Ewen & Denise Bergman\, Sheryl Jaffe & Frances Donovan\, Shira Karman & Ilene Rudman\, Tanya Hayes Lee & Vivian Eyre and Xiaoly Li & Alexis Ivy \nOn view through July 18\, 2026. \nJoin us for an Art and Poetry Stroll with some of the participating artists and poets on July 18\, 2-4pm.  \nView or download the Gallery Booklet. \n

SUMMARY:Music is Meditation - Try it FREE for the month of June!
DESCRIPTION:Age-old practices of meditation\, such as Zen\, remain an effective means of promoting stress-reduction and attaining self-awareness. \nThis series\, entitled “Music is Meditation\,” will explore the possibilities of using “musical mantras” in the place of verbal ones in the practice of collective meditation. \nEach session will entail two 20-minute meditation periods\, each employing recurrent musical motives or tranquil meandering themes\, played on keyboard\, as a focus for inward centering. \nThe first meeting will begin with a brief introduction to the practice of collective meditation. \nParticipants should wear comfortable clothing\, and bring a small mat if intending to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided. \nMusic is Meditation will meet Friday Mornings in June (9:00am – 9:50am)\nTry it out FREE this month! June 12\, June 19\, June 26. \nRegistration is not required for these three classes.
