It’s the weekend! Let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?
This weekend, Museum of the Moving Image (36-01 35th Ave.) debuts their latest series, Wed Anderson’s Worlds, and I for one could not be more excited. To celebrate the opening of his latest, Moonrise Kingdom (on May 25th), MOMI will be screening Anderson’s works as well as works that inspired him. It all starts with Rushmore Friday night at 7pm.
Friday night, support local art by attending the Art House Astoria Second Annual Gala (35-18 37th St.) More about the event:
Art House Astoria Conservatory for Music and Art is pleased to be hosting their Second Annual Fundraising Gala! Join us for an exciting evening of music and art featuring jazz legend Rudy Lawless with Carol Sudhalter and the Astoria Jazz Band! For more details on our special guests, please visit www.ahagala.org.
Once again Art House Astoria will be hosting a unique event celebrating our students of all ages. In addition to our special guests, student performers will be featured in the show and in an art exhibit during the evening. Raffles and silent auctions will take place during the event, offering a variety of fun items that will help us raise even more money. Our goal this year is to raise enough to purchase a new piano for our recital hall.
When you’re done at the big Art House Gala, stop into The Queens Kickshaw (40-17 Broadway) for some pretty cool like jazz. Brian Adler’s Helium Music Project is totally worth looking into. The music kicks off at 9pm and goes ’till 11:30.
It’s finally here, the big Build It Green + We Heart Astoria Block Party is upon us! Don’t miss another great WHA event:
