Centuries old and enjoyed by tens of millions of people worldwide, golf is seen by many as more than a sport. Yet what do we know about the other person on the course? The man or woman behind the player carrying the bag. In a narrative never before covered in any feature length documentary, Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk explores the incredible personal bond that a golfer and a caddie develop through hours of time together.
It is often said that a good caddie does three things: show up, keep up and shut up. But a great caddie wears many hats. They’re the player’s psychologist, mother/father figure, technical advisor and confidante. The film unveils the working dynamic between famous partnerships like the heartfelt story of Tom Watson’s and caddie Bruce Edwards. Conversely, it delves into the making of a caddie’s career with stories like Greg Puga — a young Bel Air Caddie from East Los Angeles who fought his way to Augusta to play in the Masters as a Mid-Amateur Champ. Whether familiar or new, these are stories that will make you re-think the way you look at Golf, and especially the job of the Caddie.
Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk is a visual tour de force shot on the iconic courses of Pebble Beach, Augusta National, St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Prestwick, Ballybunion, and Lahinch. Crafted in the spirit of documentaries like “20 feet from Stardom”, “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” and “Step into Liquid”, the film is a must-watch document of the game of golf as you’ve never seen it before.”

An evening of original music by Bruce Wolosoff and his daughter, Juliet Garrett. Mr. Wolosoff is a composer and pianist, whose credits include 3 ballets with choreographer Ann Reinking and a recent recording of his cello concerto by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. His work has been recognized for the way it integrates modern, classical, jazz, and blues together into “an authentic American voice”.
Ms. Garrett is a songwriter and singer who has recently finished recording her first EP, Make Believe, in London. Raised on Shelter Island, she has played across Europe and in New York, most recently appearing this summer at Stephen Talkhouse and at Annie O’s Standard Sounds showcase. Her songs resonate as ‘honest,’ ‘heartfelt,’ and ‘classic,’ bringing ‘the tradition of 70’s formal songwriting into the modern day.’
The two will share the stage for a one-night-only, father/daughter concert presentation of their work on Friday, September 6th, at the John Drew Theater in Guild Hall.
Mr. Wolosoff will perform solo piano as well as sections of a new work in progress inspired by the Odyssey, with a band including electric guitar, bass, drums, piano, synthesizer and electric cello (played by Dorothy Lawson of the string quartet ETHEL). Ms. Garrett will play a set of her songs with a band, featuring Dorothy, guitarist John Brodeur of Bird Streets, and Melody Gardot’s rhythm section: Sam Minaie on bass and Chuck Staab on drums.

Voyage through the masterpieces and obsessions of the genius and founder of Impressionism, Claude Monet. An art-world disruptor at the turn of the 20th century whose obsession with capturing light and water broke all convention, Monet revolutionized Modern Art with his timeless masterpieces.
An in-depth, exclusive tour led by Monet scholars of the museums that house the largest collections of the prolific artist’s lilies paintings including the Musée Marmottan Monet, the Orsay Museum, the world-famous panels at L’Orangerie and concluding with Monet’s own house and gardens at Giverny, the site where his fascination for water lilies was born.
Klimt & Schiele: Eros and Psyche, recounts the start of the Vienna Secession, a magical art movement formed in the late 1890’s for art, literature and music, in which new ideas are circulated, Freud discovers the drives of the psyche, and women begin to claim their independence. It was a movement that marked a new era outside the confines of academic tradition.
At the heart of Secession were artists Gustav Klimt and his protégé and dear friend Egon Schiele. This exhibition proves an in-depth examination of images of extraordinary visual power: from the eroticism of Klimt’s mosaic-like works, to the anguished and raw work of the young Schiele in his magnetic nudes and contorted figures against the backdrop of nocturnal Vienna, full of masked balls and dreams imbued with sexuality.
