Thursday June 11th

Latin Percussion Lab 3:30pm - 4:15pm

This program is designed to introduce basic rhythms and counting exercises for students through the use of hand percussion and Afro-Latin drumming techniques. Students will have a chance to learn all about essential elements in Latin music like clave, tumbao, and basic conga tones. There will be an introduction to different types of instruments each week as well as a song of the week by various salsa and cha cha icons. This will be a very fun and engaging drumming course!

Latin Jazz Sessions 4:30pm - 6:50pm

This weekly band is an introduction to the many popular Latin styles of music from slow and intimate cha cha and boleros to fast paced and high energy salsa, cumbia, and merengue. Join us for an eventful start to the first installment of the Latin Jazz Sessions at Art in the Park, and surprise yourself with how much you could learn in just a few weeks! Sheet music and basic drumming pattern worksheets will be readily available every week. Everyone is free to join this program, though some musical experience will greatly help in familiarizing patterns and learning songs. Art in the Park has drums and some instruments available for use, too, so don’t be shy – stop by and try it out for yourself. 

These workshops are presented in partnership with Art in the Park and Neighborhood Music School.

Two Gifts
Exhibition by Misa Chhan
Opening 3pm - 6pm

Tending a garden functions as both labor and pedagogy; it offers an instruction manual for how to move through daily life with patience, humility, and care. Through this lens, Misa Chhan examines the ontological tension between craft as a mode of production and an anti-consumption ethos, particularly within the domestic sphere, the natural landscape, and the built environment. Her work asks how making—when rooted in care, slowness, and ancestral knowledge—might serve as a reorientation away from extractive systems of value and toward reciprocal relationships with materials, labor, and the natural world.

Tending a garden functions as both labor and pedagogy; it offers an instruction manual for how to move through daily life with patience, humility, and care. Through this lens, Misa Chhan examines the ontological tension between craft as a mode of production and an anti-consumption ethos, particularly within the domestic sphere, the natural landscape, and the built environment. Her work asks how making—when rooted in care, slowness, and ancestral knowledge—might serve as a reorientation away from extractive systems of value and toward reciprocal relationships with materials, labor, and the natural world.

The textile work on display in Two Gifts emerged from time spent by the artist at Salmon Creek Farm in Mendocino, CA. She writes, “It felt liberating to finally relinquish fears around value and sentiment once I started to cut and sew these fabrics together. This piece…(is) greater than the sum of its parts. Nothing feels too precious anymore, which feels like a miracle.”

Misa Chhan an artist and natural dyer who lives and works in Los Angeles.
They work across natural dyes, textiles, fibers, baskets, printmaking, kites, and artists’ books. Their background in book arts, printmaking, and papermaking led them to explore natural dyes as a medium to stay engaged with and learn from the natural world. The mindset of domination over nature creates a scenario where we feel detached from nature, as opposed to understanding that we are fundamentally dependent on it and part of nature. Their goal is to collaborate with plants, their surroundings, and what is readily available around them, and to work as close as possible to what the world is made of.

Join us for story time Tuesday June 2nd at 3:30pm with local, award-winning children’s book author, Erica Silverman. She’ll be reading from her book The Big Pumpkin and a poem from her most recent book, The City Sings Green and Other Poems Welcoming Wildlife.

*

The City Sings Green and Other Poems Welcoming Wildlife - A unique and artful blend of poetry, science, and activism, this picture book shows how city dwellers can intervene so that nature can work her magic. Through a mix of lyrical poems, real-life success stories, and bouquet-bright artwork, City Sings explores the environmental impact of humans and showcases the many ways that we can re-wild cities across the globe. Together, we can welcome nature back!

*

The Big Pumpkin - The witch has grown the biggest pumpkin ever, and now she wants to make herself a pumpkin pie for Halloween. But the pumpkin is so big she can’t get it off the vine.
It’s so big the ghost can’t move it, either. Neither can the vampire, nor the mummy. It looks as if there’ll be no pumpkin pie for Halloween, until along comes the bat with an idea to save the day.

How can the tiny bat succeed where bigger and strong spooky creatures have failed? You’ll be surprised!
