Another Point of View: 4 Visually Impaired Artists
2024-09-30 08:30 - 2024-11-04 16:00 | Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, 10 East Church Street, Bethlehem, PA, 18018, United States
The Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission presents an invitational exhibition: “Another Point of View: 4 Visually Impaired Artists” that highlights the work of Mary Ann Dunwoodie, Michael Freeman, Dianne Michels, and Terry Newhard at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from September 30 to November 4, 2024. The exhibition brings together 4 visually impaired artisans with varying degrees of vision who use their personal creative process as a means of self expression and inspiration. The goal is to bring together members of the sighted community with these talented artisans. While their sight may have darkened and somewhat dimmed, all of these artists have a visionary quest which shows no limits and takes us forward into the light. “This exhibit will allow the community to expand its imagination on the subject and medium of each work of art, much like many exhibits do,” Bethlehem Mayor J. William Reynolds stated, “but it will also expand our imagination on what is possible when we challenge the idea of what ‘disability’ allows us, or does not allow us, to create.”
There will be an artist reception on Sunday, October 6 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. The Rotunda Gallery is located at 10 E. Church Street. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (www.bfac-lv.org) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

A graphic novelist and filmmaker, Barrack Zailaa Rima was born in 1972 in Tripoli, Lebanon, and has lived in Brussels, Belgium for more than thirty years. While she explored a wide variety of media and art forms in her early career, Barrack now devotes herself to comic books. A former member of the Beirut-based Samandal collective, she is the author of several graphic novels, editorial cartoons, and compelling works of comics journalism including Le conteur du Caire, Beirut, and Sociologia.

Each volume retraces a visit Rima made to the Lebanese capital while also bearing witness to events unfolding in Beirut.
Barrack will give a presentation in which she will discuss her own artistic practice in relation to other graphic novelists. She will reflect on important moments in the history of the art form as well as trends that have informed her own artistic expression. She will also provide an overview of contemporary Arab comic and graphic novel production with a particular focus on Lebanon.

Kinetic Light: DESCENT
2024-10-05 19:30 - 21:00 | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Kinetic Light, an innovative disability arts ensemble, is globally acclaimed for its immersive, accessible approach. Led by disabled artists, the ensemble creates, designs, and performs work that is a thrilling blend of movement, light and sound. Their creations speak to and emerge from disability aesthetics and culture. This connection to the rich traditions and contemporary conversations of disabled artists in all artistic fields makes Kinetic Light’s work a powerful, intersectional creative force.
Kinetic Light’s DESCENT is presented in partnership with Touchstone Theatre and their community arts initiative Festival UnBound OCT 3-6. For information on Festival events, its history, and the 2024 sponsors, visit here.
DESCENT explores the pleasures of wheeled movement and reckless abandon. It is performed on a custom-designed architectural ramp installation with hills, curves, and peaks. Combining dance, architecture, design, and technology, this work challenges cultural assumptions of what disability, dance and beauty can be. Inspired by the sensual writings and art of French sculptor Auguste Rodin, DESCENT gives the mythological characters of Venus and Andromeda new life as interracial lovers. Voted as 2018’s most moving performance by the readers of Dance Magazine, DESCENT is “An ingenious set of ramps [that] serves as a canvas for projections of stars and seas, and as a surface for wheelchair motion with the gliding grace of ice dance,” according to The New Yorker.
**Per Kinetic Light’s touring practices, masks are required for this performance. For the safety of the performing artists and audience, all audience members, ushers, and staff are required to be masked upon entering the venue and throughout the performance. Thank you to Lehigh Valley Health Network for their support.
Access: This performance is expected to include haptic interpretation of sound scores; ASL interpreters; audio description through Kinetic Light’s Audimance app; expanded accessible seating; tactile lobby experiences; sensory kits; a quiet space; and exit and entry welcome during performances. Please call the box office at 610-758-2787 x0 for ASL and haptic seating. Click HERE to learn more about our accessible seating project. Thank you to The Dexter F. and Dorothy H. Baker Foundation for their support.

Bethlehem Steel Locomotive Experience
2024-10-06 11:00 - 15:15, 2024-10-20 11:00 - 15:15 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
The National Museum of Industrial History is excited to offer a hands-on train engineer experience on its restored narrow gauge locomotive! Situated in the museum’s park area, the 1941 Whitcomb diesel-electric locomotive was used at Bethlehem Steel in the Electric Furnace Melt Shop where it moved trains of scrap metal. Restored by museum volunteers and staff to working condition, the train operates on a little over 100 feet of demonstration track. During this educational experience participants will be able to climb into the cab, learn how the locomotive works, then take the controls under the supervision of museum personnel. The short but memorable runs will let you step back in time, putting you in the same engineer’s seat as the steelworkers who helped build the country.
Each experience is limited to two adults or one adult and one child. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes and is weather-dependent. Tickets are $30 per session (includes 1-2 participants) and are non-refundable except in the case of inclement weather or cancellation by the museum.
Learn more about the locomotive’s restoration process and see it in action here: https://www.nmih.org/restoration-highlight-1941-bethlehem-steel-whitcomb-narrow-gauge-locomotive
Because of the nature of operating historic equipment, availability is subject to change without advance notice. Every reasonable effort will be made to keep your experience on track. Guests must be able to climb four steps to enter and exit the locomotive. NMIH’s Bethlehem Steel locomotive experience is separate from regular museum admission.

Inspired by the work of artists and educators Sister Corita Kent and Keith Haring, students will create brightly colored text-based posters that address concerns around social justice, current issues, or to convey a message of peace.

Design, print, and produce a small run of posters to distribute or to keep!
This exhibition is offered in conjunction with LUAG’s current exhibition ChangeMakers!, a multisite exhibiton, drawn from LUAG’s extensive art collection, that highlights the many forms of change-making. Explore artworks in a range of media that reveal change makers at work — activists, organizers, and of course, artists.

Guest Lecture: The Life & Legacy of Robert Sayre
2024-10-13 13:00 - 14:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 602 E 2nd Street, Bethlehem, 18015, United States
Robert Heysham Sayre initiated or influenced nearly every industrial, educational, and public welfare development in the Lehigh Valley during the second half of the 19th century. Born on October 13, 1824, Sayre learned engineering in his early youth building the Switchback Railroad and enlarging the Morris Canal, and at age 30 was named chief engineer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad by Asa Packer. Packer also directed him to build the rolling mill that became the Bethlehem Iron Works and Sayre remained a manager and officer of the company until 1899.
At the same time, Sayre’s involvement in community projects, education, and philanthropy shaped the growth of South Bethlehem and its institutions. His legacy as one of the founders of Lehigh University, St. Luke’s Hospital, the Church (now the Cathedral Church) of the Nativity, and many public utilities continues to today.
The National Museum of Industrial History is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Robert Heysham Sayre, with a special display of objects, letters, and photographs from his life on view September 14, 2024 through the end of the year.
Join us on October 13, 2024 at 1 PM as we welcome industrial historian Professor John Smith and local author Martha Capwell Fox for an intimate discussion of the life of Robert Sayre and his industrial and philanthropic legacy.

Temple Grandin: A Conversation
2024-10-13 16:00 - 17:00 | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Dr. Grandin, who didn’t speak until she was three and a half, was fortunate to receive early speech therapy, learn social skills like turn-taking in board games, and be mainstreamed into kindergarten at five. Her first book, Emergence: Labeled Autistic, offered a unique first-person view of autism. In his best-selling Anthropologist on Mars, Oliver Sacks wrote that Grandin’s book was unprecedented because there had never been an inside narrative of autism.
Now a professor at Colorado State University, she’s renowned for her work in animal behavior and welfare, consulting globally and appearances on television (NPR, BBC and other prominent media). In 2010, Time named her one of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World.” She was honored with an Emmy-winning HBO movie and introduction into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2016. The award-winning autism self-advocate shares her message about the disorder and “differently-abled” brains.

Dr. B. Brian Foster
B. Brian Foster is an ethnographer and multi-medium storyteller working to document and interpret the culture, folklore, and placemaking practices of Black communities in the rural U.S. South. For the last ten years, he has set his work in several towns and small communities in north Mississippi, where he was born and raised. Brian’s areas of expertise include the sociology of racism and race, place studies, urban/rural sociology, and qualitative methods. His perspective and theoretical orientation are rooted in the histories and paradigms of Black Sociology and the Black Radical Tradition.
Brian has written two books. I Don’t like the Blues: Race, Place, and the Backbeat of Black Life (2020) chronicles the growth and development of blues tourism in the Mississippi Delta. His second book Ghosts of Segregation: American Racism, Hidden in Plain Sight (2024) is a collaborative photo-essay collection featuring the work of award-winning photographer Richard Frishman. Frishman’s hyperpixel photographs document vestiges of racism, oppression, and segregation in the U.S. (e.g., a set of double doors that once was a “Colored Entrance,” the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma), and Foster’s essays blend memoir and personal storytelling with ethnographic reporting and sociological analysis to offer piercing commentary on the realities and histories captured by the photographs.
Brian is working on a new book—Casino Town—which interrogates the cultural, environmental, and human impacts of casino development in the Mississippi Delta. He is also building an expansive archive of oral history interviews and photographs focused on the histories and placemaking practices of Black communities in the rural South.
Africana Studies at Lehigh University
Rooted in a long history of emancipatory and egalitarian political visions created by Black people throughout Africa and the diaspora, the Africana Studies Program affirms, argues for, and studies the full and complete humanity of Black people.Through a diverse faculty and a rich, interdisciplinary selection of inclusive and intersectional courses, Africana Studies enriches the Lehigh University curriculum by situating urgent contemporary dynamics of racial inequality, injustice, and violence within a broad historical context, preparing students to deal with contemporary challenges. The Africana Studies Program encourages students to discover cultural, artistic, psychological, social, and political resources for imagining more just communities in which all can flourish. At a moment when millions of young people are in the street affirming that “Black Lives Matter,” Africana Studies can provide an intellectual space for students to explore histories of racialization and racism to make better-informed efforts to combat racial inequality.

Almost a half century ago John Szarkowski (Director of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art) published his book, The Photographer*s Eye. This seminal work holds together today as well as it did 48 years ago. Here is the opening of his introduction, “This book is an investigation of what photographs look like, and why they look that way. The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process —a process based not on synthesis but on selection.” lndeed.
What to keep, and what to discard? That is the primary conundrum that photographers face when they pick up the camera and put their eye to the viewfinder. What to keep and what to discard. That is life in the Viewfinder. It is a place I cherish. The VIEW exists — it is up to me to FIND what to capture.
Luke Wynne’s photographic career began in NYC. His work appeared in Andy Warhol’s Interview, New York Magazine, and Cosmopolitan. He moved to Los Angeles in 1980 where he was an editorial, portrait and movie photographer. He worked on more than 30 films for Disney, Fox, Universal and Paramount Studios. His editorial work continued with the magazines: Shape, New West, Voice (France), Oggi (Italy) and TelePoche (France).
Wynne lived in Italy from 1999 to 2011, where he conducted portrait workshops and advanced photography courses.
He returned to the USA and moved to Easton, PA. He received part of an NEA grant for everyday in 2011. Wynne has been an Adjunct Professor of Photography at Moravian University since 2014. In 2015, he produced a book – Artists in Residence – with a show at the Banana Factory. In 2017, he was an exhibitor and curator of the Allentown Art Museum exhibition Allentown X 7: Photographic Explorations. In 2023, he curated the exhibition Magical Seeing at Moravian University’s Payne Gallery.

WXPN Welcomes Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn
2024-10-18 19:30 - 22:00 | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn, “the king and queen of the banjo” (Paste Magazine), have a musical partnership like no other. Béla Fleck is a 15-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds. The two met at a square dance, began collaborating musically, and eventually fell in love. Over the years, they played together most visibly in the Sparrow Quartet alongside Ben Sollee and Casey Driessen and informally at a pickin’ party here, a benefit there, or occasionally popping up in each other’s solo shows. Fans of tradition-tweaking acoustic fare eagerly anticipated that Béla & Abigail would begin making music together as a duo. Whether at home, on stage, or on record, their deep bond, combined with the way their distinct musical personalities and banjo styles interact, makes theirs a picking partnership unlike any other on the planet.

Nobody put more Americans “In the Mood” for great swing music than Glenn Miller, leader of the most famous big band of all time. The Miller sound lives on through performances by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, performing the classic 1930s and 40s tunes Moonlight Serenade, A String of Pearls, and more that made the Greatest Generation swing. It is more than 80 years since Glenn Miller first succeeded with the Orchestra. Except for a few years following his disappearance in WWII, his orchestra and music have been continuously heard worldwide since 1938.

Creatives in Community: Understanding the Foundations of Well-Being
2024-10-21 10:00 - 13:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, 18015, United States
In this collaborative workshop, participants will reconnect with the familiar yet often elusive concept of well-being. Though fundamental, well-being can sometimes feel out of reach. Simple solutions for nurturing it are easy to overlook or take for granted. Through guided discussions, outdoor time, and creative connections, participants will leave with greater awareness, a stronger sense of connection and belonging, reduced stress, and practical steps to recreate these results anytime, anywhere. This workshop is intentionally designed to serve individuals in the creative community and is free and open to all.
Join us on October 21! Lunch will be provided.
Register in advance here.

Here & Now: LUAG Celebrates 100 Years with 100 Local Artists
From the engineering and artistry of the original Lenape people, through the upheavals of the steel and railroad industries, to the hi-tech manufacturing of today, makers and innovators of all kinds have found a home in the Lehigh Valley. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this maker mindset found its way into the DNA of Lehigh University, shaping both artists and engineers and setting the stage for Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG).
Tracing our roots to 1926, the year of the first known art exhibition on campus, LUAG has grown into a vibrant museum with robust programs and a collection of over 20,000 works of art.
In honor of this milestone, LUAG presents an open call to a juried exhibition of 100 local artists reflecting the wide range of artistic practices thriving in our community today. Artists (aged 18+ years) in a range of media are encouraged to submit work to this salon-style exhibition which will take place in the LUAG Main Gallery.*
The exhibition will coincide with an initiative to make significant purchases of works by local artists for the university’s collection.
*Please see detailed submission guidelines for more information.

Submissions close January 5 at midnight (11:59 pm)

Tribal Elder of the Delaware Nation (Lenape) Visits Central
2024-11-02 13:30 - 14:30 | Old Chapel, 412 Heckewelder Place, Bethlehem, PA, 18018
Tribal Elder of the Delaware Nation (Lenape) Visits Central
Join us on Saturday, November 2 at 1:30 p.m. in the Old Chapel for a talk by Lenape retired tribal elder and member of the Delaware tribe of Oklahoma, John Thomas. For thousands upon thousands of years, the Lenape people lived in this region, until being driven off this land by European settlers, and forced removals from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The 18th century Moravian church was engaged in mission work with the local Lenape people, working, worshipping (and being buried) alongside them in the 18th century. There are ancestral memories of the Moravian Church and their mission work, along with the accompaniment with the forced removals.
One of the federally recognized Delaware Tribes is based in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and their retired tribal elder, John Thomas, has already made a visit in December 2023 to Bethlehem, toured the Archives, God’s Acre and met with several members of Central. Now we have the opportunity on November 2 to welcome John back for a talk to hear about his experiences and following his talk, there will be the option to join Diane Shaw and John at God’s Acre for a tour of several Native American graves. We hope that this conversation with John Thomas and Lenape tribe of Oklahoma can continue into a larger spring program, following the 2023 Northern Province Synod’s resolution on acknowledging historic trauma and setting forward with dialogue and healing with indigenous peoples.

Hope Is the Thing With Feathers: How Bird Watchers and AI Are Reshaping How We See and Conserve Birds
2024-11-06 17:00 - 18:30
The Friends of the Lehigh University Libraries invite you to join us on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom for Hope Is the Thing With Feathers: How Bird Watchers and AI Are Reshaping How We See and Conserve Birds, presented by Dr. Miyoko Chu, Senior Director of Communications at Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
For millennia, birds have captured people’s imaginations with their beauty, songs, and soaring flights. Now, with our planet facing a biodiversity crisis, birds are in trouble worldwide. In the U.S. and Canada, nearly 3 billion breeding birds have been lost in the past 50 years, and half of bird species are declining. Take a look at the future of bird conservation as Dr. Miyoko Chu shares how digital information platforms, AI technology, and growing numbers of bird enthusiasts are generating unprecedented data and insights about 11,000 bird species around the world—with the hope of saving them while there is still time.
The free public talk, which is supported by the Friends of the Lehigh University Libraries, coincides with the Special Collections Feathers and Folios exhibit in Linderman Library.
The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session led by Boaz Nadav-Manes, Lehigh’s University Librarian. Advance registration required. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
About the speaker
Dr. Miyoko Chu is the senior director of Communications at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a nonprofit organization that engages people of all walks of life in understanding and protecting birds and nature. An ornithologist and science writer, Dr. Chu led the team that created the Cornell Lab’s free Merlin Bird ID app which has been downloaded by more than 10 million people around the world. She is the author of Songbird Journeys: Four Seasons in the Lives of Migratory Birds; Birdscapes, a Pop-Up Celebration of Bird Songs in Stereo Sound; and America’s Favorite Birds: 40 Beautiful Birds to Color.

Access Culture: Moving Access From Compliant to Creative
2024-11-06 18:00, 2024-11-06 18:00 - 21:00 | virtual
This one-day workshop serves as an introduction to media accessibility, focusing on audio description (AD). Our philosophy and approach to producing AD is framed in:

Community centered
Culturally inclusive
Creative solutions over legal compliance

This workshop is intended for artists, arts administrators, educators, and anyone with interest in arts and cultural accessibility! Folks who attend this workshop will leave with ways to view audio description through a culturally inclusive, community-centered lens, and promote creativity as a motivator for accessibility over legal compliance. In this workshop, the presenters will cover self-descriptions, industry definitions of accessibility features, and how to move beyond the industry’s parameters, prioritizing accessibility at the organizational level, moving from compliance to higher creativity, and cross-disability access. We will have a presentation, samples of creative access, discussions, and a writing activity.
What to expect:
We’ll have an opportunity to review access needs at the beginning and prioritize attendees’ comfort. Large and small group discussions, multiple breaks, play and discuss video and audio samples of captions and audio description, eating and drinking are fine.
Please see the general outline for the session below:

Introduction to facilitators modeling self-descriptions
Industry definitions of AD and captions and moving beyond
Why does your organization prioritize accessibility?
Moving from Compliance to Creative accessibility
Cross-disability accessibility
Samples and large group discussion
Interactive activity
Q and A and open discussion

The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) Theatre Department, in collaboration with the Charter Arts Music Department, continues its fall season with the world premiere production of “Ladies, How Dare You!”, a musical comedy written by Liv Cummins and Rob Hartmann with music by Rob Hartmann, November 8-10, 2024.
The story is set in 1913 amidst the Womens’ Suffrage Movement with themes and sentiments that will resonate with contemporary audiences, especially during the current political landscape. This beautifully crafted story is centered around two unlikely traveling companions, wealthy socialite Lucretia Kingsley and her hired hatmaker, immigrant Dorothy Jones, who must make it to the Suffrage Parade in Washington D.C. against all odds. The heart of the piece lies in the relationships they develop with the people in the small town where their carriage breaks down. As they form connections and invest in one another’s lives, they begin to question their preconceived notions of what it means to be a woman, what it means to be an American, and what it means to build community. All are affected and eventually inspired to find a new path forward, bravely paving the way for change.
With direction by Kelly Minner-Bickert, and music direction Erica Dickson, this production will move audiences with its rollicking ragtime Americana-flavored score, old-fashioned vaudevillian hijinks, disguises, and Shakespearean mistaken identities as it explores themes of gender roles, anti-immigrant sentiments, and urban and rural clashes.
Minner-Bickert shares, “Audiences will be blown away by the talent of our young artists who have courageously taken on these characters for which there is no blueprint. Watching our kids rise to the challenge of such a deep and layered new work has been exhilarating. With powerful and poignant music and lyrics, I’m certain audiences will leave feeling moved and thoroughly impressed.”
Tickets are $7-$12 and available for purchase at CharterArts.org. Evening performances November 8 & 9 at 7 PM. Matinee performance November 10 at 2 PM.

Student-Led Series: Into the Playhouse: Exploring the Life of Nellie Mae Rowe
2024-11-12 17:00 - 18:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Join student museum educators, Kira Miller ’26 and Elsy Tavarez ’27, as they highlight the importance of identity, culture, politics, and more in the life and works of Nellie Mae Rowe!
Around 1950 after the passing of her second husband, Nellie Mae Rowe decided she wanted to be an artist. By following her aspirations, Nellie began making art from household items, chewing gum, anything she could find. She created not only a space for her work, but her own world of it called The Playhouse. Step into the playhouse with us to learn more about Nellie Mae Rowe’s art! Within the tour there will also be interactive activities to help attendees truly see and connect with the work of Nellie Mae Rowe.
Register in advance here.
Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe presents an exhibition of 58 works by the self-taught Georgia artist, set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement in the South of the 1960s. Rowe (1900-1982) saw art making as a radical act of self-expression and liberation that took many forms including found-object installations, handmade dolls, chewing-gum sculptures, and hundreds of drawings. The focus of her creative output was a “Playhouse” where she welcomed visitors, situated along a major thoroughfare in Vinings, Georgia.
Organized by the High Museum of Art (Atlanta) from their leading collection of Rowe’s art, Really Free is the first major exhibition of her work in more than twenty years. The exhibition offers an unprecedented view of how she cultivated her drawing practice late in life, following the deaths of her second husband and her longtime employer. Starting with colorful and at times simple sketches on found materials, the works move toward her most celebrated, highly complex compositions on paper. Through photographs and other references to her Playhouse, the exhibition is also the first to put her drawings in direct conversation with her art environment.

Connect & Create: Dream Drawing and Meditation
2024-11-19 17:30 - 19:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, 18015, United States
This workshop invites participants to de-stress by creating experimental drawings inspired by the work of artist Nellie Mae Rowe in the exhibition Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe. The session will begin with some gentle seated movement, followed by a short guided meditation. With a cultivated sense of heightened awareness, we will move through several drawing exercises based on the evening’s theme of automatic drawing from dreams.
The resulting drawing will be experimental, fluid, foundational, gestural, and incredibly fun. Here, the emphasis is on mark-making, gesture, and connecting the practice of drawing with the practice of meditation. No prior drawing or meditation experience is required, as the practice is really based on the individual’s response to the experience in the moment.
Open to the public.
Please register in advance to save your space. Registration is limited.
All supplies will be provided and participants will take home their own drawing kit.
Participants will be invited to use yoga mats to sit / lay on the floor throughout the workshop. You might bring your own mat, a pillow or bolster to make yourself more comfortable. This is entirely optional, chairs and some mats will also be provided.

Art in Dialogue: Contemporary Art in Chile
2024-11-20 16:30 - 18:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, 18015, United States
Assistant Professor of Art History Florencia San Martín in conversation with Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures and Latin American and Latino Studies Matthew Bush about two recent publications edited by Prof. San Martín about contemporary art in Chile.
The book Dismantling the Nation: Contemporary Art in Chile is the first academic volume to theorize and historicize contemporary artistic practices and culture from Chile in the English language. Critiquing the links between the nation-state of Chile and its colonial, capitalist, heteronormative, and extractivist rule, the book proposes otherwise forms of inhabiting, creating, and relating in more fluid and caring worlds, attending to artistic practices and discourses from Arica and the Atacama Desert to Wallmapu and Tierra del Fuego, and from the Central Valley, the Pacific coast, and the Andes to territories beyond the nation’s modern geographical borders. Analyzing how these practices refer to issues such as the environmental and cultural impact of extractivism, as well as memory, trauma, collectivity, and resistance towards neoliberal totality, this volume furthermore envisions art history and visual culture from a transnational and transdisciplinary perspective. For more information visit: https://www.fulcrum.org/concern/monographs/9k41zh29x
The exhibition catalog Todavía somos el Tiempo: arte y resistencia a 50 años del golpe was published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name shown from November 2023 through March 2024 at the National Center of Contemporary Art in Chile. Commissioned by the Chilean Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the U.S.-backed military coup in Chile, the exhibition included more than one hundred works created by artists and collectives from different generations, as well as hundreds of publications and archives from documentation centers in Chile and the United States. Divided into five sections, this exhibition shows the role of imperialism and global capitalism in the events and ideologies that designed the dictatorship and gave the green light to its conceptual continuity in the present, presenting art and time together as community projects of liberation, justice, and reparation. The accompanying exhibition catalog is available on paper and as open access. To access the open-access version visit: https://www.cultura.gob.cl/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/tset-catalogo-.pdf

The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) presents its annual concert of student-choreographed works, Dance Soup, November 22 & 23, 2024.

Dance Soup offers students a chance to apply the skills they’ve gained in Improvisation and Dance Composition classes.

This process involves submitting proposals for faculty approval, auditioning peers, and participating in rehearsals and mentoring sessions with faculty, all of which help students enhance their leadership and choreographic abilities. “Students also experience the critique process during this journey,” notes Weaver. “We provide them with the freedom to explore the entire realm of dance, allowing them to express their unique voices and specialties.
When asked about the name “Dance Soup“, Weaver explains, “Much like soup is crafted from a variety of ingredients, this concert brings together diverse elements that blend beautifully to create an engaging performance that is sure to warm the audience’s hearts.”
This year’s Dance Soup concert takes place November 22 at 7 PM, November 23 at 2 PM and 7 PM. Tickets are $7-$12 and can be purchased in advance at CharterArts.org.

LUally Film Screening: Day With(out) Art World Aids Day 2024
2024-12-02 11:30 - 13:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, 18015, United States
Join the Pride Center and Lehigh University Art Galleries for a LUally Film Screening: Day With(out) Art World Aids Day 2024.
During this session, participants will watch a screening of seven short story videos about the impact of HIV/AIDS globally. Participants will engage in discussion about the impact of the short videos and be equipped with allyship skills on how to best support people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and how to advocate for better health resources for minoritized communities.
Lunch will be provided. Please register in advance.
Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me…
For Day With(out) Art 2024, Visual AIDS announces Red Reminds Me…, a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. Through the red ribbon and other visuals, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood, pain, tragedy, and anger. Red Reminds Me… invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV, from eroticism and intimacy, mothering and kinship, luck and chance, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody, melodrama, theater, irony, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today.
The title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings, an activist, poet, and long-term survivor with HIV, who writes: “Red reminds me, red reminds me, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light, Red Reminds Me…, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief, tragedy, and anger define parts of the epidemic, the full picture contains deep, nuanced, and sometimes contradictory feelings.
Red Reminds Me… will feature newly commissioned short videos by artists working across the world:

Gian Cruz (Philippines)
Milko Delgado (Panama)
Imani Harrington (USA)
David Oscar Harvey (USA)
Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia)
Nixie (Belgium)
Vasilios Papapitsios (USA)

The artists in this program were selected through an open call process juried by artists/activists aAliy A. Muhammad and Jessica Whitbread, curator Alper Turan, and community organizer Josué Lopez.
The hour-long video program will premiere on December 1, 2024, World AIDS Day/Day With(out) Art. Visual AIDS will partner with museums, galleries, universities, and organizations around the world to present free screenings on/around December 1. Learn more and register as a partner here.
*Jennings recites this poem in the video Here We Are: Voices of Black Women Who Live with HIV, created by Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes for Day With(out) Art 2022: Being and Belonging.

LUally Film Screening: Day With(out) Art World Aids Day 2024
2024-12-04 11:30 - 13:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Join the Pride Center and Lehigh University Art Galleries for a LUally Film Screening: Day With(out) Art World Aids Day 2024.
During this session, participants will watch a screening of seven short story videos about the impact of HIV/AIDS globally. Participants will engage in discussion about the impact of the short videos and be equipped with allyship skills on how to best support people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and how to advocate for better health resources for minoritzed communities.
Lunch will be provided. Please register in advance.

Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me…
For Day With(out) Art 2024, Visual AIDS announces Red Reminds Me… a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. Through the red ribbon and other visuals, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood, pain, tragedy, and anger. Red Reminds Me… invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV, from eroticism and intimacy, mothering and kinship, luck and chance, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody, melodrama, theater, irony, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today.
The title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings, an activist, poet, and long-term survivor with HIV, who writes: “Red reminds me, red reminds me, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light, Red Reminds Me…, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief, tragedy, and anger define parts of the epidemic, the full picture contains deep, nuanced, and sometimes contradictory feelings.
Red Reminds Me… will feature newly commissioned short videos by artists working across the world:

Gian Cruz (Philippines)
Milko Delgado (Panama)
Imani Harrington (USA)
David Oscar Harvey (USA)
Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia)
Nixie (Belgium)
Vasilios Papapitsios (USA)

The artists in this program were selected through an open call process juried by artists/activists aAliy A. Muhammad and Jessica Whitbread, curator Alper Turan, and community organizer Josué Lopez.
The hour-long video program will premiere on December 1, 2024, World AIDS Day/Day With(out) Art. Visual AIDS will partner with museums, galleries, universities, and organizations around the world to present free screenings on/around December 1. Learn more and register as a partner here.
*Jennings recites this poem in the video Here We Are: Voices of Black Women Who Live with HIV, created by Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes for Day With(out) Art 2022: Being and Belonging.

Hailed as “the most exciting vocal group in a generation,” Windborne brings a fresh perspective to the rich traditions of vocal harmony. With deep roots in polyphonic music from around the world, their bold and innovative arrangements breathe new life into centuries-old songs, making them resonate in modern times. The ensemble—Lauren Breunig, Jeremy Carter-Gordon, Lynn Rowan, and Will Rowan—seamlessly shifts between musical styles, taking audiences on a journey that spans continents and eras. Known for their captivating harmonies and social consciousness, Windborne’s performances are a masterful blend of technical prowess, passion, and connection. Their viral success on TikTok, and a newly set record with the #1 Album (“To Warm The Winter Hearth”) ever fundraised for on Backerkit, has introduced younger audiences to unlikely genres like Corsican polyphony and early labor anthems, further solidifying their reputation as groundbreaking vocalists who defy expectations.

Patchwork invites local and regional storytellers, from novice to professional, to share their time and talents at Tales of Fire and Frost—Stories from the Winter Hearth on Thursday, January 30, 2025, at The Ice House in Bethlehem, PA.

From the subtly sublime to the dangerously dramatic flair, this is your opportunity to tell your story, in your own unique way.
Tell us your tale!

Charter Arts’ rigorous curriculum fosters both academic and artistic excellence for its students. The school’s impressive Future Ready PA Index ranking, Advanced Placement (AP) exam statistics, Keystone Exam statistics, SAT scores, prestigious artistic accolades, and graduation rate, are testaments to the outstanding education that Charter Arts provides.

The Casting of Iron Toys
2024-12-14 13:00 - 14:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 602 E 2nd Street, Bethlehem, 18015, United States
This presentation by NMIH Historian Mike Piersa will detail the process of casting toys and other products using iron. Created by skilled workers using a foundry method called sand casting, the toys became popular in the latter half of the 19th century as they used materials that were inexpensive at the time, similar to today’s plastic toys. This illustrated lecture will trace the process from furnace to finished product and will feature a small live demonstration, melting tin, to show how the foundry process uses patterns and sand molds to create goods. Included with Museum Admission.

The King's Singers: Christmas Time is Here

The group formed when six choral scholars from King’s College, Cambridge, gave a concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. By chance, the group was made up of two counter-tenors, a tenor, two baritones, and a bass, and it has maintained this formation ever since that debut. Wrap up warm for an extra-special holiday concert as they perform music from their travels across the world and remember their spiritual home in England.

“It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn’t enjoy what they do,” says The Boston Globe speaking of Cherish the Ladies, the Grammy-nominated, Irish-American super group that formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene. Since their first sold-out concert, they exploded onto the Irish music circuit, performing thousands of concerts around the globe, and are now among the busiest and most admired Irish groups on the planet. Their show is a wonderful blend of the old and the new. Irish songs, lively jigs and reels, and heart-wrenching slow airs transport the listener on an enchanted musical journey. Our audience asked us to bring them back, and we have!
