People really show up for the arts here. Our event is run by artists in the building. It's been growing so much over the past few years. This year has been very very busy, it's crazy.
"The entire 'General Hospital' family is heartbroken over the news of Tony Geary's passing," Frank Valentini, executive producer of the ABC show, said in a statement Monday. "Tony was a brilliant actor and set the bar that we continue to strive for." In a career spanning more than 40 years, Geary earned eight Daytime Emmy awards as Luke Spencer after joining the soap in 1978.
Like many artists, Voynovskaya, is trying to navigate a rocky economy and policy shifts that could make health care harder to attain. Voynovskaya is insured through the Affordable Care Act marketplace, also known as Covered California. The ACA subsidizes insurance premiums through tax credits, making coverage affordable to many. But some of those tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year, raising premiums for more than 74,600 people in Alameda County.
There's a lot of examples of sex workers coming together and organizing and making their voices heard in San Francisco, which is why I'm so excited to be bringing this show there and performing it in front of people that do this work,
It reimagines one of the Bamiyan Buddhas, colossal sixth-century statues that once stood in central Afghanistan before being destroyed by the Taliban in 2001. Today, those Buddhas exist only as empty niches carved into a cliff. Carved from sandstone, the High Line version isn't a replica. It's an homage-described as an "echo"-meant to summon memory rather than recreate history. The title references the nickname locals once gave the larger Bamiyan Buddha: "Salsal" which translates to "the light shines through the universe."
This one-of-a-kind night always expands the Surreal Salon exhibition to, in essence, include hundreds of works of art by way of the costumes YOU put together to help punctuate this unique exhibition! In addition to the over five dozen works featured in the Surreal Salon exhibition, the big night includes live music from the band Bon Bon Vivant, djs, food trucks, and a number of other surprises.
Poetry is traditionally taught - at least it was taught to me - as a kind of thing you have to endure in English class; there's no sense of it applying to your life. But poetry, good poetry, is the stuff of life. Poetry asks us to slow down and to think about what we're reading, but also to experience it.
4 cups flour 1 cup table salt 1.5 cups warm water Mix it all together, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 thickness, stamp hands, cut them out, punch a hole for an ornament (we used a metal straw!), bake at 200-250 for 2-4 hours. (It should feel completely hard and dry, not cool or damp inside)
Drive through any American town or pull off any highway across the country and you'll see them: the glowing neon signs of chain restaurants. Think Chili's, Applebee's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster. There's something about these places: They're familiar, nearly ubiquitous and, somehow despite rising food prices offer a full sit-down, restaurant service experience at an affordable price, according to many readers who dine at these places and who spoke to us for this project.
Included among its holdings was an estimated $87m in real estate in the city centre. After a fire sale this spring, all nine buildings sold; most will become residential and commercial spaces unrelated to the arts. But a development firm called Scout is transforming two of these buildings, Hamilton and Furness halls, into a new Village of Industry and Art (Via), with the goal of serving Philadelphia's creative community through a mix of offices, studios and affordable housing.
In her six completed novels, Jane Austen excelled at love stories: Elinor and Edward, Lizzie and Darcy, Fanny and Edmund, Emma and Knightley, Anne and Wentworth, heck even Catherine and Tilney. As her fans celebrate the 250th anniversary of her birth, they'd like you to know it's a mistake to simply dismiss her work as light, frothy romances. It's full of intricate plots, class satire and biting wit, along with all the timeless drama of human foibles, frailties and resolve.
There's always something a little bit unsettling about Sabrina Bockler 's dynamic paintings, although it can sometimes take a moment to narrow down the reason why. At first glance, a table appears sumptuously set, or a floral scene unfolds with brilliant hues. Upon further inspection, we'll notice a two-headed goose, a table of food being ravaged by cats and dogs, or the disquieting feeling you're being watched.
Wolfgang Tillmans's photographs and films of intimate proximity and everyday encounters found home in the expanses of the Pompidou's decanted library alongside open stacks and other remnants. They engaged in a process of slowing down and reflecting on public life, probing how we want to share our public spaces and inhabit time.
The title might seem a little ironic, considering Hicks has covered arts and culture in the Pacific Northwest since 1978. But the heart of the argument - that critics more often stand in between their readers and art, representing a barrier to deeper understanding and appreciation, rather than offering them "a fresh perspective, a new way of entering into the discussion that any decent work of art invites" - echoed a sentiment I've held for a long time.
The Christmas Festival of Bad Habits is a temporary -space installation located on Římské náměstí in the historic center of Brno, Czech Republic. Developed by architectural studio Peer Collective in collaboration with artist Kateřina Šedá, the non-profit organization Renadi, and the Brno-střed Municipal District, the project reconsiders the spatial and social format of the traditional Christmas market. Instead of retail-driven programming, the installation introduces a structured environment for reflection, movement, and collective experience.
The entire ground floor of this site, a former fabric workshop converted into art studios and storage spaces, was commandeered for the occasion. Nineteen rooms were set in a processional course, an enfilade linked by a series of dark, intestinal passageways. Each one was an elaborately stage-managed installation, replete with backdrops, props, and costumed actors who engaged their audience in exchanges by turns conspiratorial and belli
Going into the woods can evoke scary thoughts of wild animals and creepy people, but not so for the magical forest displayed in SF Playhouse's stunning production of Into the Woods. Beautifully designed by Heather Kenyon, these woods feature lush trees and foliage with one tall tree rotating to become Rapunzel's tower. Bill English cleverly directs his impressive cast with just the right amount of sarcasm, humor and tender moments. His slightly over-the-top look at storybook characters gone awry
These are just some of the ways that books can be damaged, as seen on a recent afternoon at the Weissman Preservation Center. Students in "Texts in Transition," a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness textual preservation firsthand.
One of the most significant private collections in the world is housed in central Lisbon's Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, which has graced the city since 1969. The western suburbs of Lisbon are particularly worth visiting for those interested in contemporary art. The modern and contemporary art collection of Jose Berardo opened in 2007 in a purpose-built MAC/CCB (Museum of Contemporary Art and Architecture Centre), in the neighbourhood of Belem.
It's a family drama, says Yaron Lifschitz. It's kind of a minor key, gently comic version of the Oresteian trilogy. Without the dismemberment and murder and purple carpets. Lifschitz is talking about his latest production for Circa, the acclaimed Australian contemporary circus group. Is it a Greek epic? A state-of-the-nation drama? A searing emotional journey? Nope, none of those. It's a fun, family circus show based on that cheeky cartoon character Shaun the Sheep.
At slightly larger than California, the African nation of Cameroon is home to roughly 30 million people and more than 300 indigenous languages. But a long-lasting civil war and other humanitarian crises have made the future of those languages uncertain. Today, most Cameroonians in their 40s and 50s are as proficient in their indigenous languages (including Lamnso', Oroko, and Batanga) as they are in a colonial language such as English or French. Their parents, in contrast, spoke indigenous languages more dominantly.
Since 1990, Murray Horwitz and the late Susan Stamberg have been celebrating Hanukkah with stories about family, faith, friendship and community. This year, to honor Susan's memory, we reflect on her 34 years of performances that can still move us, make us laugh and bring us fresh meaning plus one new story to fill this festival of lights with gratitude. A Jewish girl with a loud voice is chosen to narrate her school's Christmas pageant.

When the play that would become Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie opened in 1920, it was named not for the woman that would expand to fill its center but for her father. Chris Christopherson (no relation to the singer) stumbled onto the stage in Atlantic City after a tumultuous rehearsal process for which O'Neill was largely absent, its director desperately hacking minutes out of the script and slashing the title to simply Chris while he was at it. Whatever happened in Chris, O'Neill wasn't having it. By the next year he had rewritten the play from the bottom up, refocusing its spotlight on a character who had begun as little more than a prim cipher, carving away at her marble till he revealed a heroine.
But it is probably not as dirty as it was for co-curators Alyssarhaye Graciano and Olivia Esparza when they helped artist rafa esparza create an adobe floor for From Their Hands to Ours, a new exhibition at MACLA's downtown San Jose gallery. They made mud and incorporated straw and manure, and the artist ultimately left the shoes he was wearing embedded in the adobe.
