The 3rd annual Summer Celebration of the Arts at Cedarmere, the former estate of William Cullen Bryant in Roslyn on Saturday, will be held on June 8 from 4:30 to 7:00 pm (rain date, Sunday, June 9th).
The event will feature contemporary dance, live world beat music, art installations, paintings, spoken word, and an interactive dance jam in the sunken garden, all inspired by the theme “Water”.
Pack a picnic supper and come enjoy the beautiful historic grounds and landscape of Cedarmere.
Explore the pond, gardens, and trails, and take in the sunset over Hempstead Harbor. This year’s event will premiere new nature-inspired works choreographed by Nancy Brier, set to a new musical composition by Edgar “Bass Monk” Patterson Mills and new original poetry written by senior residents of Sea Cliff.
New site-specific sculptures by John Cino and a water-inspired art exhibit by Firefly Studios of Northport will also be on display.
Carl Safina, an author, eco-activist, and drummer, will host the event. Tecumseh Ceasar, a cultural representative of the Montauketts, will sing a water song and display wampum carvings.
Bring a picnic supper and remember to carry out all trash as no garbage facilities will be available. Some chairs will be provided.
This family-friendly event is made possible with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and additional support from the Chris Crosby Foundation.
