SUMMARY:Author Talk: Richard Lacayo\, “Last Light: How Six Great Artists Made Old Age a Time of Triumph”
DESCRIPTION:Come here Richard Lacayo\,–one of the nation’s top art critics– talk about his new book ‘Last Light” (Simon & Schuster\, Nov. 2022). Here\, he details how 6 great artists  — Titian\, Goya\, Monet\, Matisse\, Nevelson and Edward Hopper — made old age a time of triumph by producing some of the greatest work of their long careers—and\, in some cases\, changing the course of art history. Though these artists differed in many respects\, they shared one thing: a determination to go on creating\, driven not by the bounding energies of youth but by the ticking clock that would inspire them to produce some of their greatest masterpieces.\nLecture: FREE\nBook: $35.00 plus tax\nRegistrants are invited to visit Edward Hopper House Museum and the exhibition Ellsworth Kelly: “State of the River” following the lecture between 3-5pm.\nFor more information about the book is available here(https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Last-Light/Richard-Lacayo/9781501146589)\nAbout Ricard Lacayo\nRichard Lacayo was a longtime writer and editor at Time\, and from 2003 to 2016 the magazine’s art and architecture critic. He has also contributed articles on those subjects to People\, Foreign Policy\, and Graydon Carter’s new online publication Air Mail. He is the coauthor\, with George Russell\, of Eyewitness: 150 Years of Photojournalism. In 2013\, he delivered one of the annual Clarice Smith Lectures at the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, on artists in old age.

SUMMARY:Poetry Slam
DESCRIPTION:Second (I know\, this event is before the other one; second in urgency\, not in chronology)\, our September poetry slam will be on Saturday\, Sept 2\, which is Labor Day weekend. I’m worried that our attendance will be low\, so to hopefully avert that\, we’ll be having a $150 first place prize. Is that enough of a draw to counteract the holiday weekend? Guess we’ll find out!

SUMMARY:Circle Up
DESCRIPTION:Circle Up @ X House is a new mostly-weekly poets circle happening in Nyack. We have a rotating set of facilitators and formats. Each gathering will have a sharing circle where people can read poems of their own or poems they like. We’ll also have a writing workshop\, editing workshop\, performance/delivery workshop\, or featured poet\, depending on the week.\nIt’ll be happening the 1st\, 2nd\, 4th\, and 5th Thursday of each month.\nFor Thursday\, August 31st\, our facilitator will be Bryan. The first half will be a generative/writing workshop; the second half will be a sharing circle. Bring whatever you like to write with — notebook\, paper\, tablet\, laptop\, phone\, whatever. Never written a poem before? That’s okay\, come anyway.\nDoors will open at 5:45 PM; event will run from 6 PM to 7 PM.\nAdmission is on a sliding scale —\n$5 general\,\n$3 students\, seniors\, and anyone who can’t swing $5 right now\,\n$7+ people who really like us\, want to keep the series going\, and have some extra money\nWe take cash\, Cash App\, Venmo\, and PayPal.\nThe admission money is used to pay the venue\, to pay guest facilitators\, and to pay featured poets. Any excess beyond that will be used to make up the difference on weeks when attendance is low. Anything beyond *that* will support special programs (like our Rockland Poets High School Poetry Prize) or normal operating expenses (e.g. Meetup.com https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FMeetup.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1OGz5Gj6f_Z0S-tDgBtznziholw6KW27znn3jXLN_g9eFHz8pcJ3gnfSA&h=AT3j8JDYQacU8plavXVyRsiuSMHI-FEle62gW8YV-8RR3WPEV5Wvv67y58HwBxZHzFyR8lQw0MVfxJOA4LnAaGQrhEnOUvbCn6pI_ZuJBzKQLcmqmoABf3A4uWlVmYVF9o0ieY6FylaPpkTTGBIveGM&__tn__=q&c=AT2aVty8Bvp0mUgprn7skyV3EYCH89ug1XIng58RtoOJF435ZUgzegVU4V85zdft9I_-fADJW06kyVtopjkQxxiPLWirYaGPg-btXaWhuBf3mi1kdOuTOk7OLW0LL2fW9LEnOSifnzIizX98XEhS4y7rz2wK fee\, pens\, index cards\, our mail box\, our text reminder platform\, printing flyers).

SUMMARY:Stories For Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Stories for Freedom has gathered ten storytellers\, who have been cultivating practices of liberation within their work and lives\, to join a TMI Project true storytelling workshop to craft their stories of love\, resistance\, and growth; stories that can be used to further their work and serve as a blueprint for radical generations to come. \nBy crafting radically true stories\, Stories for Freedom amplifies the voices of artists\, activists\, and artivists to inspire identification and belonging in audience members\, and challenge all of us to take bold action in the disruption of systemic oppression. \nThe cohort includes people selected from an international call\, hailing from our hometown of Kingston\, as well as across the US\, and as far off as South Africa. \nStories for Freedom pays specific homage to the practices of liberation that have emerged from Black and Indigenous communities. For centuries\, Black and Indigenous communities have created templates for other marginalized groups to take action to resist oppression. This program aims to acknowledge and celebrate these roots.

SUMMARY:Phoenix Festival: Autumn Serenades with Ellen Mandel & Jessica Crandall
DESCRIPTION:An evening of music by celebrated composer Ellen Mandel sung by Jessica Crandall. \nEach of Mandel’s songs creates its own little world: this one’s a smoldering romance\, that one’s all beauty and springtime\, the next is dark and dangerous\, next a song of flirtatious and witty wordplay\, and then one that will break your heart. You’ll hear songs from Ellen’s song cycle inspired by Edward Hopper’s magnificent paintings. You’ll watch the play Waiting for Godot contained in one fun and lively jazz number. You’ll receive the prophetess Cassandra’s warning\, in Trojan language\, from the ancient Greek tragedy Agamemnon. And to finish\, you’ll be treated to Ellen’s hilarious self-help song—a blues\, of course—singing along to internalize her therapeutic message.  \nCrandall has sung with the New York Choral Society at Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall. She is currently at work on an original song cycle with composer and Guggenheim Fellow Carman Moore \nThe duo has charmed audiences all over New York City and beyond\, with their expert musicianship and playful banter. They love performing\, and you’ll love being taken on an emotional journey with them.  \nThe extraordinary beauty and acoustics of the First Reformed Church elevate this concert to an event for all senses. \n“Mandel’s songs are ardent\, spiky and refreshingly organic.” – NY Times \n“Songs are sung so exquisitely by the extraordinary Jessica Crandall.” – Inside Press
