Join us for a compelling conversation featuring William L. Fox, Peter E. Pool Director of the Institute for Art + Environment and Aspara DiQuinzio, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art and the curator of Eternal Signs: Indigenous Australian Art from the Kaplan and Levi Collection. This program explores the deep connections between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork, ancestral knowledge, and the environment. Together, our speakers will discuss how these works communicated timeless cultural narratives, cosmologies, and relationships to land – offering powerful insights into art’s role in sustaining identity, memory, and ecological understanding. Audiences will gain a richer appreciation for how Indigenous artists express ancestral wisdom through symbol, gesture, and tradition in ways that resonate across generations and continents.

Polish organist Michal Szostak performs a solo organ recital featuring original improvisations and arrangements of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz.

Join us at the Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center on the First Friday of each month at 6pm for an out-of-this-world combination of Art and Science. Each monthly program will feature a talented local musician, paired with a special Full-Dome program in our 360° theater.
