EVER / AFTER
Marion Belanger and Martha Willette Lewis (Collaborators)
October 30 - December 8, 2025
Located in The Workshop Gallery, Building 3.
Opening Reception on Thursday, October 30th from 4-7PM
Regular Gallery Hours from 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Ever/After is a collaborative multimedia art project that consists of photographs by Marion Belanger and ink paintings and collage by Martha Willette Lewis. This visual dialogue grew from their shared state of unease and concern regarding the climate/environmental crisis. Belanger makes photographs in the field and prints them on lightweight but durable rice paper that Lewis then soaks, stains, tears and paints upon. The added stress upon the photographic image (some which have already been altered by double exposure and intentional abstraction) symbolically references the damages and disturbances such as extreme storms, forest fires and extinctions that are now so evident in daily life. Manipulated, gilded, stained and torn, the works become artifacts bearing the impact of human touch, just as the land itself does. Fragile and beautiful, Ever/After is a visual lament for the seepages, shifts, losses, extinctions, and extractions made by humankind.
Belanger and Lewis have been collaborating since 2016. They created the permanent installation Insects & Plants: Excavating the Archive at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station in New Haven. The Underneath, an immersive multi-media installation was commissioned by Artspace in 2016. Ever/ After is an ongoing series regarding the threatened environment, and Strange and Beautiful Sound is recent work centered on the coastline of Long Island Sound.

WIN an Oil Painting of the "Christmas Canoe"
In the heartwarming play "Miracle on 34th Street," a department store Santa Claus claims to be the real Kris Kringle, challenging the cynicism of a young girl and her pragmatic mother in New York City. As Kringle's genuine belief and kindness begin to transform those around him, he faces a court hearing that will determine his sanity and the very existence of Santa Claus. The play explores themes of faith, imagination, and the Christmas spirit, ultimately proving that belief and magic can triumph over skepticism and commercialism.

I hope you’re leaving out cookies for Santa this year! In this workshop, students make one large fused glass plate, or a handful of small glass cookie plates. Or bowls! It doesn’t have to be for cookies. You can do whatever you want with this. As long as you’re merry about it. Students will learn the ins and outs of fused glass, including a demo on how to safely use the tools and how glass can change in the kiln. In this workshop, we use COE 90 Bullseye fused glass, stringers, and frit. You will be guided under our experienced fused glass instructors to make something Santa is gonna love every year.
You’ll be doing something called coldworking, meaning you are making the project without using a kiln. We’ll be doing the firing after you leave. Projects will be ready in about a week or so after the workshop.
What to Expect:
You’re gonna make a plate! Or bowl! Out of glass!
We use a huge variety of shapes and sizes to inspire your design!
You’ll be learning essential building block fused glass techniques under the guidance of our experienced instructor.
Experiment with vibrant colors, textures, and holiday-themed patterns.
Take home a beautiful + merry fused glass plate ready to showcase cookies and treats!

The Gift of Peace
In the heartwarming play "Miracle on 34th Street," a department store Santa Claus claims to be the real Kris Kringle, challenging the cynicism of a young girl and her pragmatic mother in New York City. As Kringle's genuine belief and kindness begin to transform those around him, he faces a court hearing that will determine his sanity and the very existence of Santa Claus. The play explores themes of faith, imagination, and the Christmas spirit, ultimately proving that belief and magic can triumph over skepticism and commercialism.

Miracle on 34th Street
India is one of the most iconic and influential voices in Latin music.
With over three decades of unparalleled success, the “Princess of Salsa” is the female artist with the most number one hits on the Billboard Tropical Airplay chart, holding two Guinness World Records — one for the most number one singles by a female artist (11) and one for the most number one albums (6) on the Billboard Tropical Albums chart.
India’s career began in the 1980s as a member of TKA before she rose to prominence as a solo artist. Her breakthrough came with her 1994 album Dicen Que Soy, which became a cultural milestone and solidified her place as a leading figure in salsa. Other standout albums include Sobre el Fuego (1997), Latin Songbird: Mi Alma y Corazón (2002), Soy Diferente (2006), and Intensamente India con Canciones de Juan Gabriel (2015). Some of her greatest hits include “Ese Hombre,” “Qué Ganas de No Verte Nunca Más,” “Vivir Lo Nuestro” (featuring Marc Anthony), “Mi Mayor Venganza,” and “Sedúceme.”
India has received over 30 Premio Lo Nuestro nominations and a GRAMMY® nomination and has won a Latin GRAMMY® and ten Latin Billboard Music Awards. India was also honored with the Pioneer Award at the Billboard Latin Women in Music awards and received the Premio a la Trayectoria at Premio Lo Nuestro in 2025, recognizing her groundbreaking contributions to salsa and Latin music.
Her impact extends beyond music, with activism for LGBTQ+ rights and recognition as a cultural pioneer. India has also collaborated with industry legends, including Juan Gabriel, Eddie Palmieri, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente and Marc Anthony, and continues to break barriers with her musical versatility, spanning salsa, jazz, dance, R&B, and tropical rhythms.
India’s legacy is undeniable, and she remains a dominant force in the evolution of Latin music.
Featuring Support Artist: Luis Figueroa
Luis Figueroa is the multi-talented six-time GRAMMY® nominated Puerto Rican American singer-songwriter and one of the most promising artists of the decade. He has solidified his status as the leading voice and star of the current Salsa movement reinvigorating the tropical music genre for new audiences.

Prepare to be instantly drawn into the playful chemistry and comic banter of legendary composer-producer David Foster and popular singer-actress Katharine McPhee as they perform four decades of Foster’s hits.
In between songs, the husband-and-wife team banter and joke, sharing “behind the song” anecdotes and stories.
David Foster is a musical genius and one of the most successful songwriters and producers in pop history. Mostly known for his ethereal melodies from the 80s and 90s, Foster will pull fond memories from your past when he delivers decades of hits like Celine Dion’s “Because You Loved Me,” Earth Wind and Fire’s “After The Love Is Gone,” Chicago’s ”You’re the Inspiration,” Josh Groban’s “You Raised Me Up,” Michael Buble’s “Home,” Natalie Cole’s “Unforgettable,” and many, many more.
A Broadway singer and actress, McPhee’s career took off after her run on American Idol. She went on to become a successful recording artist and actress, with roles in film, television, and the stage, most notably in the TV show Smash and on Broadway and London’s West End in the hit musical, Waitress.
The music at the center of this intimate evening is a selection of Foster’s hit songs as well as songs that are popular with McPhee’s fans, including her cover of Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and "She Used to Be Mine" from Waitress. And her Celine Dion impression is hilariously spot-on!

The most Tony Award-winning Show of 2024. The most Tony Award-nominated Play of all time. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976.
Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse themselves — with fly-on-the-wall intimacy — in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.
Stereophonic, which features original songs by Academy Award® nominee and Grammy Award® winner Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, dominated the “Best Theater of 2023” lists, with top rankings in The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Washington Post, Time Out New York, Town & Country, TheaterMania, Theaterly, and The Spectator. In April 024, Stereophonic became the most Tony-nominated play in history receiving 13 Award nominations. It then became the most Tony Award-winning show of the 2024 season, winning 5 Tony Awards including Best Play, Direction (Daniel Aukin), Scenic Design (David Zinn) and Sound Design (Ryan Rumery).
Stereophonic is recommended for ages 13 and up. The play contains simulated drug use and adult topics.
