RAW JAZZ includes Four Free Concerts:
"BASSDRUMBONE - the trio of Mark Helias on bass, Gerry Hemingway on drums and Ray Anderson on trombone romps through its music, artfully pulling compositions in three directions at once. Like...very few other jazz ensembles, BassDrumBone's collective improvisations can be bluesy or ethereal, pensive or raucous in the space of a few seconds." - Jon Pareles, New York Times

"The story keeps unfolding for this fabled trio that released its first outing in 1978. With rest stops along the way, the musicians' synergy remains as a source of amazement, coupled with their perpetual creative sparks that sculpt a route embedded with fresh concepts and supreme musicianship." - Glenn Astarita JazzReview.com

 Introducing the first annual New Haven Photo Day

New Haven Photo Day is asking anyone and everyone to take a photograph in New Haven on June 17, 2017, and upload it to this website (www.newhavenphotoday.com/submitphoto). New Haven Photo Day’s goal is to receive hundreds if not thousands of submissions, creating a broad portrait of New Haven on that day.
To participate, just take a photo anytime between 12:00am and 11:59pm on June 17th anywhere in New Haven and upload it here to be included in this community collaboration. Each person can submit up to three photos.
We will be leading and hosting many photo walks all around New Haven that day. Here is the list of scheduled walks.

The Gallery Upstairs at the Institute Library presents: EVIDENCE: Art & Facts
May 27 September 2, 2017
 
Artists: Mac Adams, Colin Burke, Jeanne Criscola and Linda Lindroth, Howard el Yasin Joan Fitzsimmons, Fritz Horstman, Meredith Miller, Jiehao Su. Curated By Martha Willette Lewis
 
Murder mysteries, detective stories, cop shows and procedural dramas are all staples of contemporary entertainment. Both documentary and imagined cases are put forth for our delectation as both human drama and abstract puzzle. Crimes committed and the methods for catching those responsible are at the heart of so much of the stories we tell, with increasingly detailed and technical portrayals of the infinitesimal or invisible materials gathered to corroborate visible information and solve the case. Everything, from the theater at the scene of the crime to the final legal sentencing are lovingly described, over and over again in our dramas, books, images blending science, art and human intrigue.
This exhibit highlights the role deductive reasoning and careful examination play in constructing a narrative and conclusion. All of the artists in this show collect and present data, constructing their works as a form of
visual proof and use the documentary concept of “evidence” to undertake a creative act. This mode of practice, borrowed from science, looks at the traces of activity which surround us, presenting them to us anew
to look again. EVIDENCE features photography, sculpture and installation that have the artist in the varied roles of collector, sleuth and witness.

For the second year, the Foundry Art Centre presents an all-media exhibition focusing on the written word’s role in the visual arts. The language of literature can be used in visual pieces literally, symbolically, texturally, referentially, and in many other ways. Context II will once again speak to the intersection between visual and written arts. This exhibition will coincide with our Literary Festival (held in conjunction with the St. Charles City County Library System) and our “Language” themed  evening of Second Thursdays: Living Art, an evening of free art activities, education, entertainment, and refreshment for the community.
