Art, Cosmos and Psyche

Join us for a live presentation with Claudia Bader about the intersection between art, psychodynamics, and astrology. This is a pay-what-can in-person event at the New York Theosophical Society. You may also join the Zoom livestream that night for a small $5.85 required fee. This fee is necessary to prevent Zoom bombers. **Livestream Tickets:** [https://buytickets.at/bigappleastrologymeetup/2207045](https://buytickets.at/bigappleastrologymeetup/2207045) **Event Description:** You can see someone’s astrology and psychology in their artwork. The psyche and the astrological charts come out in an art work’s symbols, and in what themes/ideas/archetypes compel an artist. It also shows formally in composition, line, form, color, materials, scale and texture. As a professor in 3 art therapy clinical programs teaching art interpretation for 26 years, Clauda Bader has long researched the relationship between psychodynamics, astrology and artwork. She can look at someone’s artwork and detect what part of the astrological chart the psyche wishes bring out and further develop. After exploring how the psyche communicates through art, she will trace the intercorrelations and triangulations between the artistic, the psychological and the astrological. It doesn’t matter if the person is a professional artist or not, the psyche speaks through imagery we latch on to, and the astrological chart shapes any artwork. Come learn the results of an unexpected art and astrology experiment with 100 people who did not know even their Western astrological signs. Discover a case study of an artist whose art shows her transformation as she healed and how this was reflected in her astrology. Richly illustrated with examples of artists (famous and not), on art elements, psychology, and astrology, we will also look at the specific art characteristics of the signs and planets to see the correspondence between psyche, chart, and artwork. Join us for an illuminating evening of creative, deep, celestial interconnections. **$$ In Person Event:** A suggested donation is $5 -$30 is very VERY much appreciated, but please know whatever you can afford is acceptable.

Where Art Meets Machine: Creating Stories That Change How We See

Award-winning directors **[Michaela Ternasky-Holland](https://michaelaternaskyholland.com/?utm_source=luma)** and **[Aaron Santiago](https://aaron.work/?utm_source=luma)** are building worlds at the cutting edge of AI, VR, and immersive media. ​Rather than create for spectacle, their aim is to **collapse the distance between strangers.** ​​In collaboration with the **[National Arts Club](https://www.nacnyc.org/?utm_source=luma)** and its **[Art and Technology Committee](https://www.nacnyc.org/arts-and-programs/committees?utm_source=luma)**, this conversation will reveal how they use **generative AI, motion capture, 360° cinematography, projection mapping, and volumetric capture** to tell stories that cross lines of culture, ability, and lived experience. ​From Emmy-winning VR documentaries screened at **Tribeca and Cannes** to experimental AI films created with OpenAI's SORA, Ternasky-Holland and Santiago work where technology stops being a tool and starts becoming a language. ​They'll discuss their solo projects, their collaborations, and the question at the heart of their practice: **Does technology inspire art, or does art give technology meaning?** ​Whether you're a creator, technologist, or just curious about where storytelling is headed, this is a rare chance to hear from two artists **shaping the future of how we connect.** ​​Reserve your spot and **arrive early**. Space is limited.

Lady NoKids Art-full Playdate: Women, Art & Wine at Onna House

Lady NoKids and Women of Culture invite you into a gallery dedicated to women artists — with wine, cheese, and a dinner table waiting. Some Friday nights are just Friday nights. This one is not. **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lady-nokids-art-full-playdate-women-art-wine-at-onna-house-tickets-1987965244561?aff=oddtdtcreator)** *(unless you have already signed up for the [Art-full Insider Access Pass](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC), which includes this event)* On **Friday, May 15th**, Lady NoKids and Women of Culture are joining forces for an evening that puts women's art, women's community, and women's choices front and center — in one of downtown Manhattan's most extraordinary gallery spaces. The night begins at **Onna House** — a gallery with a singular and unapologetic mission: to create visibility, space, and celebration for women artists and designers exclusively. Founded by Lisa Perry, Onna House is not your typical gallery. It's intimate and layered, designed to feel like a home — one where every object, every wall, every room tells the story of a woman's creative vision. You'll move through ceramic sculpture, handwoven textiles, jewelry, and found-material works by artists who are doing something genuinely worth stopping for. Come ready to look slowly and talk freely. Wine and cheese are on us. At **6:30 PM**, we move to dinner nearby. The first round is on us and the conversation will pick up exactly where the gallery left off. Exact gallery location will be sent the day before to confirmed attendees only. **[Lady NoKids](https://www.instagram.com/ladynokids_/ "https://www.instagram.com/ladynokids_/")** is a community and platform celebrating women living full, intentional lives without children — by choice, chance or circumstance. We exist to raise the financial literacy of women living this life so we can design the extraordinary lives we want. **[Women of Culture](https://womenofculture.org/ "https://womenofculture.org/")** brings women together through the transformative power of art. Founded by Alex Harper, Women of Culture creates art-based experiences across NYC for intellectually curious women who believe that creativity is not a luxury — it's a lifeline. Two communities. One shared conviction: that a woman's inner life is worth investing in, celebrating, and showing up for on a Friday night. *Space at the gallery is limited. The dinner table has a cap. Don't sit this one out.* **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lady-nokids-art-full-playdate-women-art-wine-at-onna-house-tickets-1987965244561?aff=oddtdtcreator)** *(unless you have already signed up for the [Art-full Insider Access Pass](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC), which includes this event)* Looking for a deeper NYC Spring Art Week experience?

Art & Expression: How & Why Artists Make Their Inner Worlds Visible

​**Presented in collaboration with [CuraArt](https://www.curaart.com/?utm_source=luma) during NYC Spring Art Week, this engaging panel conversation uses the work of Louisa Chase, featured in [Berry Campbell Gallery’s](https://berrycampbell.com/?utm_source=luma) current exhibition *The Eighties*, as a starting point for a broader discussion about art as a language of inner experience.** **[Advance Purchase Required here ](https://luma.com/artandexpression)***(unless you are already registered for the full [NYC Spring art week insider pass](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC), in which case, this event is included)* ​Artists do not simply depict what they see; they give form to what is felt, remembered, imagined, inherited, and questioned. Through gesture, color, composition, material, and symbol, artists translate emotion, identity, memory, and personal truth into visual form. ​Chase’s work, charged with psychological intensity and a sense of landscape as both external place and emotional terrain, opens up broader questions about how artists make the unseen visible. What drives artists to externalize their inner worlds? How do intuition, memory, vulnerability, and experimentation shape the creative process? And how do viewers encounter and interpret the emotional life embedded in a work of art? ​Moderated by **Shakira Polite**, the conversation will bring together **Larissa Bailiff, Amanda Garcia, and Schwanda Rountree** to explore how art becomes a space for self-revelation, connection, and discovery. ​Following the discussion, attendees are invited to join a curator-led walk-through of the exhibition. Guests may also continue the afternoon with a self-guided visit to surrounding Chelsea galleries; recommendations will be provided to registered guests. ​​*Coffee & light breakfast bites to be served.* ​​*Please note this event is already included for those who are participating in the [Spring Art Week in NYC Art-full Insider Experience](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC).* *** ​**Event flow:** ​**11am \|** Arrival, mingling & breakfast bites **11:30am** \| Panel with Q&A **12:15pm** \| Exhibition walk\-through **1pm** \| close \- option to continue on a self\-guided visit to neary Chelsea galleries \(*recommendations will be provided to registered guests)* ​**Location:** Berry Campbell Gallery, 524 W 26th St. **[Advance Registration Required here ](https://luma.com/artandexpression)***(unless you are already registered for the full [NYC Spring art week insider pass](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC), in which case, this event is included)* ​​ 🎟 **Tickets:** * ​FREE with RSVP for Art-full Members\* * ​$10 suggested ticket for non-members ​​Event is co-ed and open to all with an interest in art, community & culture. ​​*​\*Learn more about the Art-full membership and join [here](https://www.womenofculture.org/artfull-membership?utm_source=luma).* *** ​**More about the Exhibition**: *Louisa Chase: The Eighties* ​Marking the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery since announcing representation of her estate, this exhibition features paintings and works on paper from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, a pivotal and emotionally expressive period of Chase’s practice.
