SUMMARY:Dennis McNett and Ben Venom: Double Trouble
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University\, Department of Art & Design\, in collaboration with Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park is pleased to present Double Trouble\, a groundbreaking exhibition uniting the strong works of Dennis McNett (Wolfbat) and Ben Venom.

SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light and Q&A with the Filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light is a 2-hour documentary exploring the life and art of the most important woman artist of the 20th century – the ”Mother of Modernism.” In the 1920s\, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers\, bones\, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by Alfred Stieglitz\, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s\, she emerged as an iconic role model for women. \nFollowing the screening\, Producer Ellen Casey Wagner and Director Paul Wagner will host a discussion to share insights into the making of the documentary and answer audience questions. \nIn 1989\, one year after they got married\, Paul and Ellen Wagner formed American Focus\,\ntheir non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of documentary films about America\nand her people. Since then\, they have released over thirty films\, including several feature\nfilms broadcast nationally on public television: Out of Ireland\, about the history of Irish\nemigration to America; Good Work\, about master craftsmen in the building arts; and Black\nin Blue\, about the four football players at the University of Kentucky who broke the color\nline in the Southeastern Conference. In 1999\, Paul and Ellen released Windhorse\, their award-winning dramatic feature film about young Tibetans and their struggle for freedom under the Chinese communist regime\, filmed secretly in China and Nepal. As a team\, Ellen is the president of American Focus and assumes the producing duties\, while Paul serves as the writer and director of their films. Prior to their formation of American Focus\, Ellen worked as a producer for WETA\, the public television station in Washington\, DC. \, and Paul was an independent filmmaker\, winning an Oscar and several Emmy Awards for his documentary work.

SUMMARY:Art for the Non-Artist
DESCRIPTION:Can’t even draw a stick figure? Struggle with perfectionism?\nThis isn’t your average art class—it’s a creative empowerment workshop created especially for those who think they can’t draw. You’ll learn to draw with both technical skill and confidence—in just one session. With a single feather as your subject\, you’ll learn to slow down and really see—translating its shape and texture into a drawing through focused observation. Each drawing will reflect the individual behind it—created entirely by your own hand\, and completed with real technical skill\, even if it’s your very first time. \nLed by Art Coach and Teaching Artist Jenny Santa Maria\, this workshop helps you unlearn the myth of “natural talent” and discover the joy of drawing as a skill that can be taught\, learned\, and enjoyed. Jenny has guided countless anxious\, curious\, and discouraged individuals to find joy and confidence through creative expression\, bringing her workshops to libraries\, art centers\, and community spaces across New England. \nWhether you’re working through limiting beliefs or simply curious about reconnecting with your creativity\, this workshop offers a safe\, encouraging space to explore art making as a new language—one that can enrich every part of your life. \nAll materials provided. No experience needed.

SUMMARY:La Sonnambula
DESCRIPTION:Following triumphant Live in HD performances in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette\, Verdi’s La Traviata\, and Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor\, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina\, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production\, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Amina’s fiancé\, Elvino\, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival\, Lisa\, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works\, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to Pollak Theatre on October 18. \n\nDue to wet ground conditions\, there will be no parking on the Pollack/Great Lawnfield tomorrow. Please park in the soccer fields or identify yourself to the football parking assistants as performing art patrons\, and the fee will be waived. \nThank you\, and enjoy the show!
