SUMMARY:Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Perry Lawson Fine Arts presents “Caleb Weintraub: Both Sides of the Mirror.” A new exhibition on view February 27-April 26\, 2026.  Weintraub’s work explores the tension between stability and disquiet\, treating the domestic space as both a source of comfort and the tension that unsettles it. Within these layered environments\, observation becomes both subject and object; watching and being watched coexist as inseparable conditions. Blending figural and landscape sensibilities into imagined spaces\, Weintraub situates his imagery between memory and myth.  CLICK HERE for details.

SUMMARY:Fugs Film!
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss River Town Film’s presentation of “Fugs Film!” Wednesday\, April 22\, 2026. 8PM. Formed in New York’s bohemian Lower East Side in 1964\, the Fugs were poet musicians who didn’t just reflect their time\, they nurtured it. Using musical satire to explore boundaries of free speech and antagonize the establishment\, they ignited an idea that was soon taken up by groups such as The Mothers of Invention\, Country Joe and the Fish\, and the MC5.  Founded by Ed Sanders\, a principal figure of the ‘60s counter culture\, along with fellow poet and artist Tuli Kupferberg and drummer Ken Weaver\, the Fugs connected a folkie ethos to rock and roll and sound collage\, and at times tapped the zeitgeist with popular hits like “Slum Goddess” and “Supergirl.” Produced and directed by Chuck Smith. Co-Produced by Ed Sanders and Myles Aronowitz. Meet the Filmmaker: Director Chuck Smith & Co-Producer Myles Aronowitz will discuss the film with the audience. CLICK HERE for details!
