They say summer is over, but we didn't hear no equinox bell! 🥊

This Sunday we'll be singing through the September summer sunset in style: wear whatever fun summer outfit you want before you pack it away for a while.

As usual, potluck at 5, singing at 6

"Everyone’s heard of food and wine pairings. Why not food and books?" —Deena Viviani @deenamlv

Enjoy the dog days with a book by a local author. Viviani pairs this issue's book recommendations with area eateries. Read all about it in our July/August issue.

It’s 6x6 time! It’s birthday time! It’s summertime!  🎨 The start of June not only brings my birthday, but it’s also the start of 6x6, Rochester’s most exciting community art exhibit at @roco137! Back in March, I hosted an art making party in my studio, and now, we get to see our work on the walls alongside 6000+ others! Tonight I’m celebrating my birthday with a jaunt around the city for First Friday. It’s such a thrill each year, and knowing it helps raise funds for a pillar in the Rochester arts scene, is the icing on my birthday cake. The show runs through July 25th, and makes for a perfect summer (air-conditioned) activity.
🌎
My submission this year is entitled “Earth: so below”, made from scrap mat board, Japanese and marbled paper, along with some finger lakes sand. I also created a companion piece, “Space: as above”. I love this kind of dimensional work, which allow my mind to travel through different planes and imagine new perspectives. Fresh from a screening of Project Hail Mary, and ripe with anticipation of the Artemis 2 launch, I was lost in thoughts of the depths of space and the imprints of humans. How we see our sky, and how the sky sees us, are windows with different viewers. I loved the construction and engineering of these; each triangle created provided me with reflection time without distraction. I was in a real flow state while making these!

Hosting art parties, celebrating my friends submissions, and contributing to the fabric of the local arts scene - this is what living the artist life looks like, and I am so incredibly grateful for all of it. Thank you everyone!
☀️
Happy Summer! Time to go make some more art! November feels like it’s coming soon…

Wear pajamas to choir for movie night! 👘📽️

In preparation for our June 7th performance, we're having potluck and rehearsal as usual but we'll also watch The Triplets of Belleville afterwards! Wear jammies and bring a pillow and blanket if you feel so reclined. Bring a sleeping bag if you want to try and be like a sand worm.

Food at five
Singing at six
Movie around eight

We do plan to have popcorn despite Paul only finding photos of mushrooms and flowers.

Feel free to DM for more details ☺️
