Had such a great time at the Affordable Art Fair this week. So many talented artists, incredible pieces, and such a fun atmosphere. I’m already looking forward to going back.

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, definitely check it out. It runs through Sunday and is absolutely worth a visit.

Definitely check out Matthew Karas @karasmattik and Lena Dikker @lenadi at booth A27 while you’re there. Their pieces are incredible, seeing them in person is a whole different experience. 🎨

Tomorrow, @nycballet will return to @spacsaratoga for four days of performances that celebrate the two organizations’ 60-year partnership. Ballet lovers have two programs to choose from: ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ which NYCB performed on SPAC’s opening night back in 1966, and Innovators & Icons, a show that brings together two signature works (‘Serenade’ and ‘Opus 19/The Dreamer’) as well as ‘Symphonie Espagnole,’ a new work by NYCB Principal Dancer and choreographer @tilerpeck that premiered at NYCB’s 2026 Spring Gala.

“I have so many fond memories of performing in Saratoga over the years,” Peck tells @saratogaliving. “Dancing in the outdoor amphitheater, in its beautiful natural setting, with the amazing and enthusiastic audiences—it’s such a special place to perform. Now, bringing my newest choreographed work to the SPAC stage is a wonderful honor.”

Canto de Odono…

Photo prise par Matthew Karas, rue New York, Manhatthan mars 2026.
Et par Johann Berger, La Havane, avril 2026.

Depuis le mois de décembre, je fais des aller/retour avec La Havane. Presque en secret. J’avais peur de ne pas pouvoir entrer au Etats-Unis d’Amérique, car j’y jouais en mars.

Etats-Unis d’Amérique, qui imposent une situation inhumaine à Cuba. Commencer un projet à La Havane, c’est d’abord un geste artistique magnifique dont vous aurez bientôt des nouvelles! C’est aussi un geste politique, de s’écarter des politiques impérialistes.

À bientôt, Cuba, La Havane, et la compagnie Orozco Contemporaneo 😘

🌟 @aaliyahgalanroman is joining @skidmorecollege Class of 2030 on a FULL RIDE! 🌟 Join us in congratulating Aaliyah on her incredible achievement!

Aaliyah first auditioned for MOVE in just the 8th grade and over the last 4 years has emerged as a remarkable young dancer and a leader amongst her peers. We can’t talk about Aaliyah without mentioning her text-book, picture perfect technique, but her depth as an artist and story teller go much further. If we blink, Aaliyah might just take over the whole world…. And we’re here for it! It’s been an incredible, rich, and full journey Aaliyah, and there is more to come!

We can’t wait to continue to follow! ONWARD! #LetUsMOVEYou #Classof2026
