SUMMARY:Art in the Evening: The Moods of Early Russian Art
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Art in the Evening program featuring Justin Willson\, Curator at The Icon Museum and Study Center in Clinton\, Massachusetts\, as he illuminates one of the most transformative periods in Russian icon painting. Drawing upon exceptional works in the Timken collection\, Willson will trace developments in style and patronage across fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Muscovy\, beginning with painters in the circle of Dionisiy and revealing how a sweeping religious revival reshaped the artistic and spiritual character of early Russian art. \nSet against the intimate backdrop of the Museum’s galleries\, the evening offers a rare opportunity to experience the Timken’s distinguished collection of Russian icons through the perspective of a leading scholar in the field. Guests are invited to enjoy wine and curated nibbles before the lecture\, followed by an engaging conversation that brings new insight to works whose beauty and spiritual resonance have endured for centuries. \nThe lecture coincides with the release of Wilson’s book\, The Moods of Early Russian Art (University of Chicago Press\, 2026). Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.

SUMMARY:Koto Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Koto\, also called kin\, long Japanese board zither having 13 silk strings and movable bridges. The body of the instrument is made of paulownia wood and is about 190 cm (74 inches) long. When the performer is kneeling or seated on the floor\, the koto is held off the floor by two legs or a bridge-storage box; in most modern concerts\, the instrument is placed on a stand so the performer can sit on a chair. The koto is played by plucking the strings with the thumb and first two fingers of the right hand\, which are fitted with ivory plectrums called tsume. The left hand\, in traditions after the 16th century\, may alter the pitch or sound of each string by pressing or manipulating the strings to the left of the bridges. Various pentatonic tunings are used\, depending on the type of music being played.\nThe koto appeared in the Japanese court during the 8th century and was called the gakusō. Schools for the bourgeois were established in the 16th century. Two of these—Ikuta (started in the 17th century) and Yamada (opened in the 18th century)—continue to the present day. Solo (danmono) and chamber (sankyoku) music dominate the repertory\, and in the latter form the koto player often sings as well.\nOne on One Lessons \nJFGM Member $55 | Non-Member $75 \nUpper Garden | Education Center \n1 Hour Length \nKoto and materials included \nRegistration Required\, Admission included \n

SUMMARY:Painted Prayers: Japanese Ema Votive Plaques
DESCRIPTION:Ema (literally\, “picture horse”) are wooden votive plaques on which visitors to Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples have for centuries written their prayers and wishes for the _kami _or Buddhist deities to read. Though these plaques originally featured horses\, they evolved to feature many different images associated with various wishes\, from good fortune to health to love and relationships. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition Painted Prayers: The Japanese Folk Art Tradition of Ema\, exhibition curator and Japanese art historian\, Meher McArthur will explore the history of these votive plaques\, the meanings behind some of the images\, and their role in contemporary Japanese spiritual culture.

SUMMARY:9th Annual Designing for Empathy Summit
DESCRIPTION:Theme of Summit ’26: Awe & Wonder!\n\nAn extraordinary experience\, something that is otherwise inaccessible to us everyday\, or the immediacy of a newly-found perspective on something seemingly ordinary\, could shift our entrenched perspectives and paradigms. Such experiences are transformative encounters that can empower us with a better understanding of ourselves\, and our interrelatedness within a greater Whole. As we learn through intentionally designed empathy-building experiences\, our capacity deepens and increases for expanding our perspectives and our sense of self\, through an understanding and appreciation of the diversity of perception and lived experiences that surround us at any given moment. Museums already offer such encounters of awe and wonder. Our question will be: how might we intentionally design such encounters (in and outside museums) where empathy is an intentional outcome that deserves further reflection and contemplation\, which then can be translated into positive action? \n\nWorldBeat Center is proud to be a co-host for this year’s summit! \nOctober 21st 3-5PM at WorldBeat Cultural Center \nExperience a Healing Community Drum Circle featuring Sufi and spiritual rhythms. This immersive workshop nurtures deep healing\, meditative mindfulness\, and present-moment awareness while building authentic community connection through the unifying power of collective rhythm and human voice.
