urn Invasive Vines into Handcrafted Baskets at Westmoreland Sanctuary

Join Westmoreland Sanctuary for a unique hands-on basket-making workshop that combines creativity, traditional skills, and conservation. Participants will learn how to weave beautiful, functional baskets using invasive wisteria vines collected from the sanctuary's forests.

While admired for its cascading purple flowers, invasive wisteria can cause significant ecological damage by strangling trees, blocking sunlight, and crowding out native plants that wildlife depends on. By removing these aggressive vines and repurposing them into baskets, participants will help support habitat restoration while discovering the value of natural materials found in our local landscape.

Participants will leave with a completed basket, a new appreciation for natural crafts, and a deeper understanding of how stewardship and sustainability can work hand in hand.

All materials will be provided. No prior basket-weaving experience is necessary.

Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past 25 years of cinema. Includes the bonus short "In the Mood for Love 2001" after the film. Part of our Cult Classic series—introduced by Programming Associate, Eliana Choi.

Andrew Dice Clay is proud to be one of America’s most controversial and outrageous comics. Quite simply, Dice is a Rock and Roll comedy legend. When he released his debut album, Dice, the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.”

Despite media backlash, Dice’s rise to fame was nothing less than meteoric, creating “Dicemania.” He’s sold-out hundreds of arenas all across the country and was the only performer ever “Banned for Life from MTV” (a ban which has since been lifted).

Dice has released numerous gold and platinum-selling albums including the Rick Rubin-produced The Day The Laughter Died (among the five releases Rubin produced for Dice); best-selling DVDs (Dice Rules!); and also starred in several one-hour HBO, pay per view, and Showtime stand-up specials including No Apologies, The Diceman Cometh, and Indestructible.

Dice’s career has experienced a resurgence including his recurring role on the final season of Entourage (2011). He starred to great critical acclaim alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine (2013); in Martin Scorsese’s Vinyl (2016); in the award winning, blockbuster hit, A Star Is Born (2018) alongside Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga; and most recently in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy. His other notable TV credits include two seasons (2016-2017) of his Showtime series, called Dice, very loosely based on his own life.

In 2014, Simon & Schuster published Dice’s brutally honest, unapologetic, and uncensored autobiography The Filthy Truth, in which Dice chronicles his remarkable rise, fall, and triumphant return. 

Currently, Dice’s “on the street” videos on Instagram and TikTok have resulted in him being hailed as a contemporary cultural phenomenon tackling the modern zeitgeist. He is now in discussions with production companies to take these videos to television.

Stone’s journey to musical stardom commenced in Chewelah, Washington, where his upbringing immersed him in gospel music as a pastor’s son. Relocating to Seattle, he tirelessly toured the West Coast in his ’87 Buick, swiftly gaining acclaim for his dynamic live shows, often playing up to 200 dates annually alongside luminaries such as Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Dave Matthews Band, Erykah Badu, and Gary Clark Jr. Notably, Stone recently hit the road with Chris Stapleton, further solidifying his status as a tour de force in the music industry. 

Alongside his prolific touring schedule, Stone has graced national television screens and mentored on ABC’s American Idol, underscoring his esteemed position in the music realm. Stone continues to garner critical acclaim with his latest body of work, Mystery, featuring the title track in collaboration with PJ Morton. This release brings infectious rhythms and emotional depth, solidifying Stone’s place as a powerful voice in modern soul music.

Join Filling in the Blanks on August 23, 2026, at the Eighth Annual Unite to Fight 5K. The race will take place at Mill River Park located in Stamford, CT.

In Fairfield County, more than 33,000 children are not sure where their next meal will come from. Most will get breakfast and lunch from school every weekday, but many will go from Friday lunch until Monday at breakfast without a decent meal.

Inspired in part by a lyric from The Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus”, Semolina Pilchard is a darkly comic British crime drama set in Liverpool. After five years away from Liverpool, Clara is unexpectedly summoned home by her dying father, Gerry, a once-feared gangster whose legacy still casts a long shadow over both his family and his past criminal empire. Her younger sister Danika has remained by their father's side, deeply involved in his affairs and quietly positioning herself as the natural successor to his estate and influence. Clara's return threatens that fragile balance, fuelling suspicion, resentment, and a growing fear that everything Danika believes she has earned may be taken away. What begins as an uneasy reunion gradually evolves into a tense psychological and emotional battle between the sisters, where grief, ambition, loyalty, and inheritance collide. Balancing laugh-out-loud moments with serious dramatic stakes, Semolina Pilchard is ultimately a story about family, legacy, and the complicated ties that bind people together, even in the face of betrayal, loss, and ambition. Co-writer Daina Ann Smith is a Connecticut-based screenwriter and a key creative voice behind the film.

 Internationally acclaimed artist Teresita Fernández joins us in the Sanctuary for a conversation with Grace Farms Founding Creative Director Chelsea Thatcher to discuss her studio practice, research, materials, and site-specific work, Double Glass River (2015), which has become an integral part of Grace Farms.

Created in relationship with the River building and nature in 2015 during the period of the building’s construction, Double Glass River, resembles an undulating galaxy of 10,000 mirrored glass cubes and expands horizontally across the curved wall at the end of the Commons. Depending on where the viewer stands, the shining reflection constantly alters, and engages the viewer in many places along the grounds. The work urges the audience to reflect upon themselves and their relationship to a changing landscape.

Created by Carl Palmer and his management, the show will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT- THIS IS THE REAL THING.  Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick).

All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson, Lake & Palmer show.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals, bass, guitar, producer), and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson’s flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group).

Throughout the night, you’ll hear from one of our newest family, Carolyn and Rashad, who will share how having a safe, stable home will forever change the life of their autistic daughter and strengthen their family’s future.

This year’s event is especially meaningful as we celebrate 35 years of Housatonic Habitat for Humanity and 50 years of Habitat for Humanity International, milestones that reflect decades of opening the door to homeownership, hope, stability, and opportunity for families in our community.

Every moment of the evening supports our work to provide safe, affordable housing and the resources families need to thrive. Because when we build homes, we build something far greater. We build futures.

Our work extends far beyond construction. Housatonic Habitat families participate in financial wellness and homeownership education designed to help them build strong financial foundations, prepare for the responsibilities of homeownership, and achieve long-term stability for generations to come.

In a rare and remarkable collaboration, GRAMMY®-nominated sarodist Alam Khan — son of the legendary Ali Akbar Khan — joins forces with one of South Africa’s most innovative guitarists, Derek Gripper. Together, Alam and Derek explore the heights of spontaneous creation, re-imagining great African songs and Indian melodies in a virtuosic meeting of plucked strings within Grace Farms’ light-filled and fully glass-enclosed performance hall within the River building.

The two first met in 2025 over a cup of tea, a meeting that led to a spontaneous trio recording with South African guitarist Guy Buttery. Alam went on to join Derek in concerts with Derek’s long-time collaborator, the great Malian kora virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko, and then in an intimate duo recording session in the hills of Berkeley, California.

Alam and Derek focus on their respective immersions in deep classical traditions: Alam brings a long apprenticeship under his father, mastering the infinite art of raga improvisation within the Indian classical tradition, Derek, originally trained in European classical and early string music, has spent years translating the complex language of the West African kora to the guitar. Through this long study of the 21-string harp, he developed a unique language of cyclical improvisation, breaking out of the bounds of composed music and using the polyrhythmic possibilities of classical guitar technique to re-imagine the beginnings of sound in string music, from harps and bows of the African continent.
