Reading Rhythms

Dear Mama is SO excited to welcome back Reading Rhythms, a series of welcoming reading parties designed to make it easy for people to gather and read socially. We invite you to bring any book you want and facilitate silent reading periods, as well as 1-on-1 breakouts, and group discussions to pull on the threads of the books that everyone is engaging with.

​In a world that can often feel devoid of interest and meaningful connection, we bring readers together to reconnect with our love of learning, to experience the wonder of beautiful venues and curated music, and to gather amongst all of the people who want to be in that very same room.

​Doors opens at 6:45pm sharp, books open at 7:15pm.

A Triptych in Jazz

A Triptych in Jazz

A Triptych in Jazz is an innovative musical exhibition that seeks to redefine the boundaries of traditional art forms by channeling the visual arts through three distinct styles of jazz in an immersive, multi-sensory experience. The programming will consist of a collection of three exhibitory installations, each iconic sub-genres of jazz: Bossa Nova, Bebop, and Blues. The exhibition will open with a series of live musical performances in the respective styles of jazz, in that order, within a space of artworks specially selected to harmonize with the concepts and emotions expressed through each iteration of the musical form.

In this dynamic setting, YOU are invited to explore a curated space to socialize and engage in emotionally resonant artworks while experiencing diverse forms of a virtuosic musical genre emblematic of the city’s storied history.
