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.

SUMMARY:Advanced Negotiation Strategy to Protect Profit and Close Stronger Deals (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:From vendor and client agreements to pricing and hiring employees\, negotiations are a constant part of running a business. The terms you agree to directly affect the profit you keep\, the risk you assume\, your business relationships\, and your cash flow. Without a repeatable negotiation process\, agreements are made reactively\, putting your profits at risk. \nIn this advanced webinar\, you’ll learn how to approach negotiations with both a rational structure and awareness of the human dynamics that influence outcomes. We will examine frameworks that help bring structure and clarity\, along with the emotional and behavioral factors that often make and break a deal. We will also look at real business examples to show you how these principles apply in practical situations involving clients\, vendors\, partners\, and other high-stakes conversations. \nBy the end of this webinar\, you will be able to: \n\nUnderstand and apply foundational frameworks such as BATNA\, ZOPA\, and Harvard’s 7 Elements\nRecognize why logic alone often fails and navigate emotional triggers and behavioral biases more effectively\nUse tactical empathy techniques drawn from the Black Swan approach to reduce tension and move conversations toward agreement\nApply a practical negotiation preparation checklist to real-world scenarios involving clients\, vendors\, and partners\n\nClick HERE to register.

SUMMARY:Spirits of the Salyer House

But as the house prepares to officially change hands\, it becomes clear that not all of its stories are ready to rest. A reclusive former owner who died under mysterious circumstances left behind a trove of local artifacts\, heirlooms\, and objects collected over a lifetime.  As the evening unfolds\, unexplained disturbances suggest the Salyer House may be home to more than just history. Join us as we step back in the 1990s to uncover the secrets woven into the Salyer House’s storied sandstone walls–and discover what\, or who\, may still linger within. Reservations required.  CLICK HERE for details.

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.
