Anem a veure *“Beethoven”*, treball que entrellaça música i teatre a través de la figura de Ludwig van Beethoven i el polifacètic artista Xavier Albertí. **Important:** cada persona gestiona la seva entrada. Preu de l'entrada: 16 euros amb el descompte que ofereix el teatre. **BEETHOVEN** Protagonitzat per Xavier Albertí al piano, aquest espectacle-concert vol explorar la profunda petjada estètica i ideològica que el compositor de Bonn ha deixat sobre la nostra contemporaneïtat. Beethoven fou el gran reconfigurador de la peripècia musical. Sense ell, no només la música actual seria diferent: també el món occidental seria probablement un altre. Beethoven, doncs, és una contundent demostració del poder revolucionari de l’art gràcies a l’extraordinària empremta de la bellesa sobre els canvis socials i polítics. Gràcies a les emocions profundes que la cultura pot arribar a desvetllar. Direcció escènica i dramatúrgia: Xavier Albertí i Albert Arribas Text i interpretació: Xavier Albertí Vestuari: Manuel Mateos Il·luminació: Aurembiaix Montardit 70 min. Espectacle en català

Aquí nos reunimos personas con ganas de explorar el arte desde un lugar cercano, humano y sin exigencias. No hace falta experiencia previa: solo curiosidad, ganas de compartir y el deseo de crear en compañía. Cada encuentro es una oportunidad para desconectar del ritmo diario, expresarte libremente y conocer a otras personas que también buscan un espacio auténtico donde sentirse parte de algo. Ojalá este grupo se convierta para ti en un pequeño refugio creativo.

**Saturday, April 18th at 1800.** Welcome back to another wonderful event at [Backstory] Bookshop, celebrating great poetry, storytelling, and music! 🎙️Gypsy Lounge isn't just an open mic; it's a vibrant celebration of diversity, creativity, and connection. Whether you're eager to share your newest creation or want to bask in the ambiance of artistic expression, Gypsy Lounge is your sanctuary. We will be signing up artists day of the event. Just come by 15 minutes before 6 pm, on the evening of the open mic. The first 8 artists will get to sign up. Each performer will have 7 minutes to share their work or perform 2 songs.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity! Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
