Sam Grisman Project

📍 Narrows Center for the Arts

Wednesday, June 19, 2024
$33 Advance | $35 Day of Show
Doors 7 pm | Show 8 pm

A Note From Sam-- The music that my father David Grisman and his close friend, Jerry Garcia, made in the early 90s is not only some of the most timeless acoustic music ever recorded, but it also triggers my oldest and fondest musical memories. What I find most inspiring about this material is the way their camaraderie and their love and joy for the music, simply oozes out of each recording. It is also impressive how deeply they get beneath their favorite songs—whether they are originals, covers, or traditional/old-time tunes—and how expertly that material was curated.

BREACH: LOGBOOK 24 | SCRIMSHAW

📍 New Bedford Whaling Museum - Center Street Gallery

On display from June 14, 2024 - November 3, 2024

Courtney M. Leonard (Shinnecock, b.1980) is a multi-media installation artist, ceramicist, and filmmaker, who has contributed to the Offshore Art movement.

To date, Leonard’s largest body of work, BREACH, is an ongoing exploration of the historical and contemporary ties between place, community, whales, and the maritime environment. The various iterations of the project, created for individual institutions and settings, investigate the multiple definitions of the term “breach.” BREACH is an ongoing artistic exploration of these various meanings, engaging environmental vulnerabilities and the settler state’s failure to uphold relations and treaties with coastal Indigenous nations.
