As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Initiatives in Art & Culture (IAC) marks the 30th year of its American Art Conference, convening artists, curators, collectors, and scholars to examine important questions in American art: how do we define horizon? Who defines it? What artificial boundaries are being challenged as part of that effort?
Boundless Horizons, IAC’s 2026 3-day American Art Conference, May 14-16, at Heritage Auctions, explores how artists have challenged imposed limits, and, in doing so, reshaped American cultural identity.
The speakers include a wide range of leading voices in American art today, among them Anne Helmreich, Director of the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art; Randall Griffey, Director of American Art at the Henry Luce Foundation; noted collector of American WPA photography and painting Dan Shogren (along with his wife Susan Meyer); Kathleen Foster, Senior Curator of American Art and Director of the Center f…

The Museum of Modern Art announces a film series, Teo Hernández: A Pomegranate Orchard and the Bitter Well, from May 14–26, 2026.
In only 23 years Teo Hernández, one of the central figures of Paris's queer avant-garde film scene of the 1970s and '80s, produced a monumental body of work that reveals how myth and zealous desire are inextricably knit to our everyday lives. Across more than 150 Super 8mm films, encompassing portraiture, urban landscapes, and diaristic cinema, he ceaselessly forged radical alternatives to linear time and perspectival vision, entrancing audiences with a visceral style that affects both body and spirit. Hernández conceived of the moving image as a pulsating expression of life itself.
Hernández used to say that two opposing bloodlines ran through his veins. Born in Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico, in 1939, he left the country in 1965. After 10 years of extensive travels through Central and North America, Europe, Morocco and India, he settled permanently in Paris in 1975. His first feature f…

Chain of Command. Chain of Consequences.
Every decision made by civilian leaders travels down a chain — through the Pentagon, onto the battlefield, into the lives of those who serve, and home with veterans long after their uniforms are retired. Those decisions shape how allies trust us, how adversaries measure us, and how the world sees American leadership.
Join Principles First on May 14th in West Orange, NJ for an honest conversation about the future of American democracy, where integrity and accountability still matter. Featuring remarks and discussion from:
Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.), Former Commanding General, U.S. Army Europe

Delve into the varied experiences of New Jersey women during the era of the American Revolution with historian Lucia McMahon. For many women, the home front and battlefields remained inextricably connected. Leading up to the war, women provided essential support for patriotic protests. During the Revolution, some family homes were temporarily repurposed into military headquarters, disrupting familiar spaces and routines. New Jersey women were often directly “at the crossroads” of the war, in close proximity to troop movements, encampments, and combat.

Orchestra of St. Luke's (OSL), joined by baritone Joseph Parrish, celebrates the friendship between Harry T. Burleigh, the pioneering Black American composer, and Antonín Dvořák, the renowned Czech composer that began when the two men met in 1892. Their collaboration, rooted in spirituals and folk music, helped shape a distinctly American sound that continues to inspire us today.
OSL brings that story to the Flushing Town Hall, joined by baritone Joseph Parrish in a program that weaves Burleigh's original songs and spiritual arrangements with Dvořák's Violin Sonatina in G Major--music born from the same conversation, performed together in Queens.
This concert is part of Five Boroughs Music Festival's season finale tour, with OSL performing the same program across all five NYC boroughs: Hostos Community College (BRONX), Snug Harbor Cultural Center (STATEN ISLAND), Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library (MANHATTAN), and Flushing Town Hall (QUEENS).

Set in the aftermath of Troy’s fall, the play follows Queen Hecuba and the women of Troy as they face loss, enslavement, and exile. A powerful meditation on war, displacement, and the abuse of women and children, The Trojan Women remains a devastating portrait of violence and its lasting human cost.

Every Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
The Long Island Biennial, now in its ninth iteration, deepens connections between artists across Nassau and Suffolk counties and their communities. The exhibition uses the Declaration of Independence (1776) and George Grosz’s masterpiece of political art, Eclipse of the Sun (1926), as touchstones for thinking about power, national ideals, and public life. The Declaration of Independence set forth aspirational principles of liberty and equality, although its promises remain incomplete. A century and a half later, George Grosz’s searing painting exposed the corruption he saw at the heart of modern society. From an open call that attracted nearly six hundred submissions, the guest jurors selected 73 works by 69 artists that respond to these cultural and political legacies. Just Powers brings together the work of Long Island artists with diverse perspectives to reveal how democratic ideals are interpreted, challenged, and reimagined today.

Set in the aftermath of Troy’s fall, the play follows Queen Hecuba and the women of Troy as they face loss, enslavement, and exile. A powerful meditation on war, displacement, and the abuse of women and children, The Trojan Women remains a devastating portrait of violence and its lasting human cost.

Set in the aftermath of Troy’s fall, the play follows Queen Hecuba and the women of Troy as they face loss, enslavement, and exile. A powerful meditation on war, displacement, and the abuse of women and children, The Trojan Women remains a devastating portrait of violence and its lasting human cost.

It wasn't until a little over a year ago, that I was was made aware that the Community of South Jamaica had placed a monument in a quiet area of Baisley Park on 125th Ave at 154St. This monument has been there since 1921 and it honored our Soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. Most of this Community did not know it was there. After investigating the area, I felt it was time to bring this to the attention of the American Legions, Auxiliaries and Community by petitioning to get the area acknowledged and upgraded so that all our Military Soldiers who served and lost their lives would be honored. Last year I invited the Queens Elected Officials to our first wreath laying event in the hope that they would assist in upgrading this area by naming it The Veterans Memorial Circle, and placing another monument…

When a medical leave company messes up one cancer patient’s payments, she learns the transformative power of mean emails, and sends a death threat. And you can do it too! Part standup, part PowerPoint comedy, DEATH THREAT is an hour-long comedy solo show about the absurdity of “circling back,” “following up,” and “just checking in” when survival is at stake—and what happens when decorum breaks down. Written and performed by Rima Parikh (The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, Going Down with Ella Yurman), and directed by Brandon Follick (Reductress, The Onion). Jezebel says, “She goes from victim to villain in the span of a sentence.” Doors 7:30/start 8 pm. 21+.
