National Theatre Live: A Screening of All My Sons by Arthur Miller

Broadcast live from The Old Vic in London, Academy Award-winner Sally Field (Steel Magnolias, Brothers & Sisters) and Bill Pullman (The Sinner, Independence Day) star in Arthur Miller’s blistering drama All My Sons

America, 1947. Despite hard choices and even harder knocks, Joe and Kate Keller are a success story. They have built a home, raised two sons and established a thriving business.

But nothing lasts forever and their contented lives, already shadowed by the loss of their eldest boy to war, are about to shatter. With the return of a figure from the past, long buried truths are forced to the surface and the price of their American dream is laid bare.

Jeremy Herrin (NT Live: This House) directs the cast, which also includes Jenna Coleman (Victoria), and Colin Morgan (Merlin) alongside Bessie Carter, Oliver Johnstone, Kayla Meikle and Sule Rimi.

Oering its 28th Year, the Guild Hall Student Art Festival is a beloved tradition that celebrates and showcases the artistic achievement and imagination of students on the East End of Long Island. 

New to the festival, this year’s SAF is centered around a central theme; Made by Water. Over the fall semester students kindergarten through 12th grade from Bridgehampton to Montauk have questioned, discussed, and creatively responded to their experiences with our oceans, waterways, and natural landscapes, resulting in an exhibition of diverse yet connected perspectives. 

The festival is celebrated through an opening reception on Saturday, January 25. The afternoon will feature family workshops, performances from school and community dance, theater, and music ensembles, and light bites and refreshments.

Gallery Talk with Joyce Kubat

Joyce Kubat is the Top Honors recipient of the 79th Artist Members Exhibition (2017). Kubat was selected by guest awards juror, Ruba Katrib, who was curator at the Sculpture Center and now curator at MoMA PS1.

In this exhibition Kubat assembles her people, a body of work which she has been developing since 2002. Her media has remained the same and Kubat lets the process lead the way in her deeply psychological figurative works. From pastels applied to damp paper creating a liquid soft skin with deep velvet pigments, to fluid pink inks that have the extraordinary transparency of flesh, these materials have led her to convey an emotionally raw narrative of human anatomy.

The figure has always been my focus, and over the years it’s become a psychological focus, a not-always-easy-to-view focus… Art with only surface excitement seems empty. For me it has to have a serious and profound underpinning, always poignant, often humorous, relating in some way to the universal humanity common to all of us. – Joyce Kubat

Kubat holds a BS in Psychology from Michigan State University and continued her studies in New York City at both Brooklyn College and Art Students League of New York. She lives and works in Huntington, NY and has exhibited throughout Long Island, New York City, Italy, and elsewhere.
