"Reform can only be accomplished when attitudes change.”--Lillian Wald

Autumn is New York is a delight for many reasons. From the colors to the changing light to the fashion and energy in the art world, the city is alive and flourishing. It is an exciting time to see great work, whether it’s a major museum show, a smaller solo exhibition, auction house preview, or a distinguished art fair.

The Art Dealers Association of America’s (ADAA) The Art Show was founded as a non-profit art fair in 1989 to support the work of the venerable 130 year-old Henry Street Settlement. To date, The Art Show has raised more than $35 million for the organization, demonstrating how art and community can work together for the common good. 

This year’s art fair, now in it’s 34th iteration, runs from November 3rd-6th. The show is a must-see and is their largest one yet, with 78 member galleries represented. I am particularly excited to see the work of Harold Mendez and Nyeema Morgan of Chicago’s Patron Gallery. Founded by Julia Fischbach & Emanuel Aguilar, Patron Gallery’s roster of artists is diverse, inclusive and a great insight into what is happening in contemporary art. Along with ADAA’s other prestigious member galleries, many of whom are showing the finest work available today, there is plenty to discover. --Lane Nevares

Kaufman & Moss Hart.

Spanning three decades in the entertainment business, Merrily We Roll Along charts the turbulent relationship between composer Franklin Shepard and his two lifelong friends — writer Mary and lyricist & playwright Charley. An inventive cult-classic ahead of its time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim's most celebrated and personal songs. Maria Friedman first directed the musical at London's Menier Chocolate Factory – a production that subsequently transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre, where it garnered the most five-star reviews in West End history before going on to win the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival. Merrily We Roll Along will be produced on Broadway by Sonia Friedman Productions, David Babani, Patrick Catullo, Jeff Romley, and New York Theatre Workshop. This production was originally produced at the Menier Chocolate Factory (Artistic Director David Babani) and subsequently produced in London's West End by Sonia Friedman Productions, Menier Chocolate Factory, and Neal Street Productions.

Merrily We Roll Along also features choreography by Tim Jackson, orchestrations by Tony Award winner Jonathan Tunick, scenery and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting design by Amith Chandrashaker, sound design by Kai Harada, hair and wig design by Cookie Jordan, casting by Jim Carnahan, CSA and Jason Thinger, CSA, music supervision by Catherine Jayes, music direction by Joel Fram, associate music supervision by Alvin Hough, Jr., and music coordination by Kristy Norter.

An anti-critical race theory (CRT) activist, Jessica Mendez, says that in June her employer was sent a flyer that called her an “active racist.”

“You should be ashamed to employ a known and active racist!” the flyer, obtained by Daily Caller, read. The flyer added, “Yes, what is wrong with her? She’s a racist!!”

It further showed photos of Mendez at various anti-CRT rallies protesting the curriculum of Loudoun County Public Schools.

Executive Director [of Fight for Schools, a nonpartisan PAC that supports elections for anti-CRT candidates to school boards] Ian Prior said a second flyer was mailed to his home, which said, “The only reason we need to fight for schools is because of you!”

“It’s worth the price of a stamp and ink to tell you are Tuckems wannabe trash and a cancer to this community and Loudoun County,” the flyer said.

In a post on Twitter, Ian Prior presented a screenshot of a post from a secret Facebook group entitled, “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County.” The group allegedly sought to target parents who opposed critical race theory in the county’s schools.

The revelation of the secret Facebook group sparked a recall campaign that made Loudoun County the epicenter of a grassroots revolt. In addition, officials vowed that opposition “can and will be silenced” and called for the termination of teachers and staff who oppose CRT.

“To the cowardly individuals that send these pieces of mail, be assured we are not intimidated and will only be more resolute in our mission to recall the school board,” the email concluded.
