Upcoming Cultural Pursuit Events

Georgia O’Keeffe’s art has intrigued viewers and artists alike for generations.

Drawn from public and private collections across the country, The Beyond will bring together three dozen iconic works as the centerpiece of a unique exploration. O’Keeffe’s paintings and sculptures will appear alongside works by 20 contemporary artists that evoke, interrogate, and elaborate upon the images and approaches that mark her career.

As iFF’s Spring 2019 program, “In The Blink of An Eye,” presents short films from around the world that capture moving snapshots in time… from life-changing decisions we make at the spur of the moment to playful bursts of humor and joy. The Spring 2019 festival will take place on Saturday, March 30th at the Irvington Town Hall Theater — followed by an after-party for all filmmakers and audience members.

Works spanning 100 years reflect Pablo Picasso’s far-reaching influence on the music world. The iconic painter collaborated on many theatrical and dance productions with his contemporaries, and had an enduring impact on successive generations of composers that has lasted to our own time. Music from Copland House explores composers surrounding the revolutionary Spanish master (Igor Stravinsky and Manuel de Falla), as well as newer works inspired by his seminal art by Robert Sirota and the World Premiere of their inaugural Harvest commission by 2015 Resident Viet Cuong.
