Missing some good old fashioned art-making time? Come make art with us on Sunday, May 19th! Mark your calendar and make it happen! Enjoy our sun-filled gallery space and be inspired by John Foxell’s assemblages in your midst. No sculpture experience necessary, just a thirst to create an inventive piece of work from found objects – some from you, some from John’s collecting friends! Bring 5-10 objects for your piece, and we’ll supply the rest (drills, adhesives, screws, etc.) Pick a few additions from our Foxell box of tricks!
Emily Perina, sculptor and Director of Operations at MakerSpace NYC, will lead the workshop with an overview of compositional techniques, attachment methods, and more. Make art with friends and go home with a work inspired by the pieces, and remnants, of your life.
Please RSVP at ticket link!

Tai Chi focuses the mind while training the body — meditation through movement. Once learned, it can be maintained easily as a healthy life-long practice, easily adapted to your abilities and/or limitations. Due to continuous movements, especially shifting body weight from one leg to another, Tai Chi delivers countless benefits, including increased strength, conditioning, balance, coordination, flexibility, stamina, range of motion, bone density, joint lubrication, mind/body connection; and more confidence, peace of mind thru-out the day, improved sleep at night. Note that this is the oldest original Chen-Style Tai Chi, taught by traditional instruction, where each student learns at their own pace and builds up their knowledge bit-by-bit.

The expression of creative ideas and how that expression can lead to facing the fear of failure, building self-worth, and seeing the world differently.
The show is hosted by SI Arts Deputy Director Gena Mimozo

Some might see a tear or stain on a beautiful kimono and think the garment can never be restored to its former glory. But Japan’s kimono restoration artisans aim to do just that. These master craftsmen can make small holes seem to disappear as though they never existed, and completely transform discolored garments. High-end apparel makers around the world have taken note, and are now applying these techniques to conserving Western fashions like suits and gowns. At this talk, Koshiro Tatematsu of kimono restoration service Chojiya unravels some of the mysteries behind these fascinating mending techniques, and reveals how they’re being used in the fashion world today.
Followed by a reception.

The exhibition “New Eyes on Alice Austen” reopens the museum’s permanent spaces on May 22, 2019. The exhibition represents a multi-year project to update the presentation of Austen’s core story. Incorporating current scholarship, the re-envisioned permanent installation comprehensively demonstrates Austen’s contributions to photographic, immigration, women’s, and LGBTQ history. The installation will fully and truthfully interpret Austen’s life and work for visitors, students, and scholars to understand and access. Significantly, the new permanent exhibition will place her long and loving relationship with Gertrude Tate in its proper context, highlighting the 2017 designation of the house as a national site of LGBTQ historic significance.
The fun continues with Boogie Woogie Wednesdays dance performances and free admission to the Museum from 5:00 – 8:00 pm on Wednesdays in August.
