SUMMARY:Navigating Childhood Anxiety: Empowering Caregivers with the SPACE Program
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday January 22nd from 5:30pm to 7:00Pm join Dr. Katrina Blomquist\, child clinical psychologist\, and Liz Allen\, Dean of Students at Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School and NAMI Program Committee Chair for a talk on childhood anxiety! We will be discussing the SPACE program for caregivers of anxious children. SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and is a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety\, OCD\, and related problems. SPACE was developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center and has been tested and found to be efficacious in randomized controlled clinical trials. Caregivers who participate in SPACE will learn skills and tools to help their child overcome anxiety\, OCD or related problems. The program focuses on changes that parents can make to their own behavior; they do not need to make their child change. The two main changes that parents learn to make are to respond more supportively to their anxious child and to reduce the accommodations they have been making to the child’s symptoms.

SUMMARY:Undressed: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Come inside the Kitchen Theatre Company and warm up from those cold Ithaca winter nights with the hottest show in town! \nIn Undressed: the Musical\, YOUR embarrassing story gets turned into an hour-long musical right before your eyes by a cast of veteran performers (including local Ithaca artist Ilan Kaplan) wearing nothing but their underwear. One lucky audience member with the most interesting embarrassing moment gets chosen by audience vote to get up on stage and share their story. Then\, the cast and band make up an entire Broadway-style musical\, spontaneously creating every single note\, dance\, and line of dialogue on the spot. Oh\, and did we mention that the cast is wearing nothing but their underwear? \nWhy are we in our underwear? Undressed is a show about stripping away our insecurities and living in the vulnerable. Our performances are always as raw and funny as they are unique\, and our audiences are the best and most supportive in the world. Undressed isn’t just a comedy show\, but an experience that will leave you feeling more connected to yourself and your community. \nTickets are $30 (general) and $15 (student) \nKTC Bar will be open \nShow runs about an hour

SUMMARY:Undressed: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Come inside the Kitchen Theatre Company and warm up from those cold Ithaca winter nights with the hottest show in town! \nIn Undressed: the Musical\, YOUR embarrassing story gets turned into an hour-long musical right before your eyes by a cast of veteran performers (including local Ithaca artist Ilan Kaplan) wearing nothing but their underwear. One lucky audience member with the most interesting embarrassing moment gets chosen by audience vote to get up on stage and share their story. Then\, the cast and band make up an entire Broadway-style musical\, spontaneously creating every single note\, dance\, and line of dialogue on the spot. Oh\, and did we mention that the cast is wearing nothing but their underwear? \nWhy are we in our underwear? Undressed is a show about stripping away our insecurities and living in the vulnerable. Our performances are always as raw and funny as they are unique\, and our audiences are the best and most supportive in the world. Undressed isn’t just a comedy show\, but an experience that will leave you feeling more connected to yourself and your community. \nTickets are $30 (general) and $15 (student) \nKTC Bar will be open \nShow runs about an hour

SUMMARY:MIX Art Gallery presents "Interact with Abstract" art opening on Ithaca's Gallery Night\, Friday\, Feb. 8th 5-8PM
DESCRIPTION:February’s exhibition at MIX Art Gallery showcases a new face in the local art scene. Peter “Rafe” Harpending\, originally from Elmira\, NY\, now resides in Ithaca. With a naturally inquisitive spirit\, he describes his personality as a gradient of colors from yellow and orange to red. It’s no surprise that his drawings reflect his degree in Biology\, as his artistic interests focus on “living things” from various clades. While there are many detailed drawings of insects\, birds\, fish\, and more that will be available\, the highlighted works on our gallery walls will primarily be his mesmerizing abstracts.  \n“I must have had an innate urge to create a visual world\, starting at a very young age—perhaps as early as I could talk. Additionally\, my mother appreciated modern art\, and that early exposure motivated me to create.” Harpending draws inspiration primarily from modern abstract art\, and his biggest influences include Mondrian\, Klimt\, Dali\, Klee\, John McLaughlin\, Pollock\, and Georgia O’Keeffe\, among others. “I’m fascinated by the fact that humans are both ordered and biological beings!  The order represented in many of my geometric pieces is juxtaposed with disruptive visual elements.  This expresses an obsession with the tension between order and chaos\, the notion that humans can create a thin veneer of spatial and temporal structure\, but underneath lies the inevitable turbulent and maddening realm of nature.”  \nAlmost reminiscent of Native American art\, these abstract pieces are both compelling and captivating\, and whether on paper or simple board\, they are attractively priced. A must-see this February showing through March 1st\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Passing Through: Portraits of Gender Rebellion - Ithaca's First Friday Gallery Night
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features a collection of paintings by Dominican-American artist\, Isa Goico (they/elle). Their practice focuses on the intersection of self-mythology and gender liberation. Goico utilizes photographic queer archive\, community members\, and local drag artists as inspiration. \nPassing Through is a compilation of paintings that reflect the unique individual experience of gender. “In painting queer individuals in everyday settings\, I am celebrating the impact trans lives have on the Ithaca community at large. The portraits aim to honor and thank the Ithacans that are bravely themselves in an increasingly anti-trans political climate.” \nThe exhibition features a series of small gouache paintings on scrap board salvaged in Ithaca. In addition to the serial work\, the exhibition features 3 large scale oil portraits completed during Goico’s time as an undergraduate at Cornell.  Ithaca First Fridays Gallery Night – Passing Through: Portraits of Gender Rebellion is going to be the title of the event as we go forward to create social media and other content to promote the event.
