April's lineup at the Brooklyn Museum includes programs around 'Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens,' designed for accessibility and interactivity, featuring stroller tours for caregivers and infants.

"This festival, 'Embrace Winter,' is now in its 14th year. We've hosted several events throughout the season, and this is our final one. Today we're here celebrating art, culture and community all coming together."

The show features pieces by participants in JASA's programs. The organization, which serves more than 40,000 older adults every year, offers art classes and creative workshops designed to bring people together while encouraging self-expression. The results will be on full display here, from paintings and textile work to other handmade pieces that reflect the artists' personal stories and styles.

"We are thrilled to bring this immersive experience to New Jersey. Whether you're an art-lover, history enthusiast, or someone encountering this masterpiece for the first time, this exhibition allows you to experience Michelangelo's genius in an intimate and unforgettable way."

Jersey City is diverse and has a cultural depth that the locals are only too happy to share. The city opposite New York City on the Hudson River has breathtaking views of the Big Apple's skyline and the Statue of Liberty is clearly visible. Despite New York having legal jurisdiction over the statue, her location is within the boundaries of Jersey City.

Art on the Underground was launched in 2000, with site-specific works exploring themes of community, space and place. David Gentleman's 'Cross for Queen Eleanor', for example, is synonymous with Charing Cross, while Eric Aumonier's sculpture 'The Archer' looks imperiously over East Finchley station, linking the site to its historic surroundings as an ancient hunting area.

The previous administration left Jersey City with no financially responsible way to move forward with the Pompidou concept. But we appreciate [Kushner Real Estate Group's] willingness to partner with us on a new vision. They came to us with a proposal for pivoting from the museum to badly needed affordable housing. That kind of flexibility deserves recognition.

Pratt Shows is an annual series of public exhibitions and presentations by the Institute's graduating class, representing years of research, exploration, and creative inquiry.

Known as the City of Brotherly Love, Philly is often highlighted for its food and sports legacy (with the glow of Jalen Hurts and the Eagles still illuminating the city). But beneath that surface lies a robust, vibrant lineage of artists, interdisciplinary creators, and collectives who've shaped the cultural fabric of the city with immense innovation and fierce local pride. From hidden gems to rising institutions, Philly's creative community has been laying the groundwork for centuries,

The Trenton Ironhawks will be the name of the relocated Utah Grizzlies franchise. The team held a naming contest that received over 2,000 submissions (unfortunately none of our submissions from part one or part two were winners). The team name was announced on Tuesday morning with a fan event held at their new home of Cure Insurance Arena that event.

PITMAN, New Jersey -- Randy Van Osten knew he had a calling to serve in the church since he was a teenager. That path led him to become the pastor at First Baptist Church of Pitman. There, he wears many hats in addition to his tie-dye shirts and patchwork pants. He and a team of volunteers contribute to the Pitman Food Pantry, a project that brings several church communities together to feed the neighborhood.

Not many chefs working in small, family-run restaurants expect global megastars to turn up for dinner and to design them a menu from scratch. But that's what happened to Simona Di Dio last weekend, when she cooked dishes inspired by her Italian grandmother's recipes for Madonna, who sat on the single wooden dining table in their cosy, candlelit Italian restaurant in Margate's old town.

There was no good reason to rename it, and in the end, I think the fundamental logic that went into that decision didn't withstand scrutiny or deeper analysis,

Mornings are best for concentrated work. In the winter, I turn on the heat at 8am and get started around 10am. Summer, I start around 9am. I have two areas in the studio for projects. The large, heavy wood sculptures are carved in the front section of the studio, closest to the roll-up wide door. Smaller sculptures are placed on a hydraulic workbench. Before I start, I focus, connect with the Source, and ask for guidance.

At the end of November of 2011, I saw my dad take his last breath. I came back to the United States after participating in all the death-related rituals that helped organize my pain in México. New York City was not a place to live my mourning, and right around December of the same year, I felt an intense longing to become small again. I needed to work with children.

The show features the work of 14 contemporary artists who use the rug as a medium to engage with cultural concerns related to religion, technology, social justice, housing, and the environment. The diverse roster of artists from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia work across a variety of media, including yarn, cardboard, repurposed carpets, and hair combs, to transform this functional object into a site of experimentation - manipulated, reinterpreted, and made new.

A new chapter unfolds for the arts in San Jose as Starting Arts prepares to relocate to two vacant buildings in the North San Pedro District this May. The nonprofit, dedicated to student arts programs, will transform a former courthouse and MMA gym into a vibrant hub called The Shared Arts Center of San Jose. Spanning 25,000 square feet at 99 Notre Dame Avenue and 92 Sharks Way, this space addresses the long-standing need for affordable venues where creative groups can thrive together.

Featuring more than 70 works by a diverse array of artists, including June Clark, Jasper Johns, Faith Ringgold, Robert Rauschenberg, Shepard Fairey, David Hammons, Julie Mehretu, Dread Scott, and Hank Willis Thomas, For Which It Stands... challenges viewers to consider who the American flag truly represents, and whether justice is available to all. On view in Fairfield, Connecticut, from January 23 through July 25, the exhibition opens with Childe Hassam's "Italian Day, May 1918" - lent by Art Bridges - and concludes with a textile sculpture newly commissioned from Maria de Los Angeles. Emma Amos, Eric Fischl, Jane Hammond, and Glenn Ligon are among the many other artists whose work is represented.
