10 years in support

If you live on the UES, come support our community at the 10th Anniversary Gala of PS109 El Barrio Artspace.

This milestone Gala brings together the artists, neighbors, and supporters who helped shape El Barrio’s Artspace into a vibrant hub of artistic expression. Like every milestone, 10 years down, is the beginning of the next 10 years.

At the Gala, you will experience a curated group exhibition that  showcases standout works by standout artists from the past decade, live performances by our in-house talent, a one-of-a-kind art auction featuring original pieces, dinner, drinks and a festive after-party to close out the night.

The funds raised support the next generation of artists in El Barrio.  If you’ve been here before, it’s a heartfelt tribute to our shared journey. If you’re just joining us it’s a toast to the creativity past, present and yet to come.

Welcome.

Open and shut

Limelight was padded but there was a Limelight Pizza that was open.

Back in the day, this Church was a nightclub. I went there once. It was loud and dancy.

Sunday was the day AFAM closed for “big changes.” I love the Folk Art Museum even if I only visit sporadically. On Saturday, I made a far- thee-well but also wanted to see what was on offer before the renovations shut me out.

The tapestries of Madelena Santos Reinbolt are spectacular. She also painted in a similarly intense and dense style.

My friend CS joined and enjoyed this remarkable exhibit.

The work of Madelena Santos Reinbolt is intricate, colorful and detailed.

Her work is sophisticated and intelligent.

Santos Reinbolt was a Brazilian artist who made her living as a cook.

The AFAM shop, which is a great source for the unusual, will be open for pick-ups.

“Jumbotron Man”

A “Grace and Frankie” epenthesis

“If I asked you to marry me in a public place, would you say yes.”

“What? To be polite?,” she said.

“Seriously, would you?”

“No. I’m not ready. And you’re not the guy.”

Okay, he thought, hope holding back his tears, it’s too soon. She’s not ready. I’ll wait til the summer, ask her at a baseball game. The Lakers kind of suck, anyway.
