Sunday: Gospelfest ‘23 at Pitney Meadows

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Entertainment.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Frederick Allen Elks Lodge #609 Presents Gospelfest ‘23, hosted by Pitney Meadows Community Farm on Sunday, May 28. 

The event takes place 2-5 p.m. and features the Heavenly Echoes, Dr. MaryNell Morgan-Brown, Audrina Hill, Milayne Jackson & Blue Train, and more. Refreshments and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cups available while they last.

Free & open to the public, this year’s event calls forward the origin of the nationally celebrated “Memorial Day” in Charleston, South Carolina’s May 1, 1865 “Decoration Day” – when 10,000 people, mostly newly-freed African Americans, members of the 54th Massachusetts and other Black Union regiments as well as black clergy and white missionaries – held a parade memorializing the fallen Union soldiers of Hampton Park’s prison. Participants decorated the soldiers’ new graves, as the dead had been exhumed from the mass burial site at the former Washington Race Course and, finally, given a proper burial, following the end of the Civil War.

GospelFest takes place at Pitney Meadows Community Farm, 223 West Ave, Saratoga Springs. For more information, call 518-691-2499.

Storytelling (Re)Collected at Saratoga Arts

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Entertainment.

A Saratoga Arts/ Ndakinna Education Center collaboration opens June 1.

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Saratoga Arts and Ndakinna Education Center have collaborated to create an interdisciplinary exhibition experience in the Dee Sarno Theater that will inspire questions about how history and stories are recorded, and learning about history through all different genres of art affects the way in which we communicate with each other. 

Opening Night is 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, June 1 at the theater, located at Saratoga Arts, 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. Exhibition Dates: June 2 – Aug. 24.

To accurately reflect the diversity of our regional indigenous cultures, this exhibition includes both historical and contemporary work made with traditional Abenaki methods incorporating sound, language and storytelling.

The works on display showcase Ndakinna’s commitment to keeping Indigenous history alive, as well as how the things we make create relevancy and meaning regarding identity, inspire new narratives and bring into sharp focus the under-told or sometimes inaccurate stories of native and indigenous peoples of the northeastern United States.

Summer exhibitions are created primarily to inform our programmatic work for K-12 summer camps, adult classes, special events and collaborative programming with other organizations like Ndakinna Education Center.
