SUMMARY:Bernadette Simone: I Love My Condo
DESCRIPTION:In highly chromatic depictions of the condominium she lives in\, surrounded by friends\, flowers\, music\, and trees\, Bernadette Simone coalesces her most cherished spaces\, feelings\, and ways of living into repeated symbols\, all rendered in the glow of “forever” (a tense that’s very important to her). The radiance of her thickly applied pastels lends these scenes a playful joyousness – days are fair\, food is good\, friends love us\, and shining song and color wash over it all.Oct 18\, 2025—Feb 8\, 2026

SUMMARY:Joseph Keckler’s Golden Hour with Edgar Oliver and River L. Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Keckler’s Golden Hour returns to ArtYard in the new year for an unforgettable evening of daring storytelling and performance. This double bill features two celebrated artists whose fearless\, genre-defying voices illuminate the strange\, the profound\, and the deeply human. \n\n\n\nEdgar Oliver\, a cult favorite of New York’s downtown theatre scene\, is a poet\, playwright\, and performer renowned for his haunting voice and singular tales of longing\, memory\, and eccentricity. A beloved storyteller at The Moth\, Oliver has appeared in films such as That’s Beautiful Frank and Gentlemen Broncos and hosted Odd Folks Home on the Science Channel. His work\, both literary and theatrical\, captures the gothic beauty of the everyday and the mysterious poetry of being alive. \n\n\n\n“[Edgar] Oliver is so brave that it cracks your self-protective reserve — and makes you ashamed\, too\, for all the conventional behavior and thought you hold on to\, just because you think it will shield you\, mostly from your own fears about your own difference.” — The New Yorker \n\n\n\nRiver L. Ramirez (they/them) is a Philly-based experimental artist\, comedian\, musician\, and writer whose performances defy category. From their Adult Swim special Pervert Everything to roles in HBO’s Los Espookys and Julio Torres’s Problemista\, Ramirez brings biting wit and boundless imagination to the stage. Their commissioned works for MoMA\, Baryshnikov Arts Center\, and Ars Nova blend humor\, movement\, and music into transcendent\, unpredictable storytelling. \n\n\n\n“Devastatingly funny\, Ramirez weds trenchant social criticism with juvenile buffoonery.” — Art in America \n\n\n\nCurated and hosted by Joseph Keckler\, Golden Hour celebrates boundary-pushing voices in a warm\, kaleidoscopic variety format. Past guests have included Charlie Kaufman\, Lydia Lunch\, Lindy West\, Ahamefule Oluo\, and Dael Orlandersmith.

SUMMARY:Deep Seated: Chairs & the Stories They Tell
DESCRIPTION:Deep Seated explores chairs\, ancient furniture still ubiquitous today. Responding directly to human anatomy and our need for rest and repose\, the chair also resonates with a multiplicity of connotations. Chairs enable us\, punish us\, connect us\, elevate us\, isolate us\, and appear as rich symbols in dreams\, fairy tales\, and religious myths. \n\n\n\nInstead of representations of chairs – paintings\, prints\, sculptures\, films\, or images in which chairs are a central element – Deep Seated explores chairs as artifacts\, objects\, and the stories they carry with them. \n\n\n\nDeep Seated is a Museum of Everyday Life project\, curated by Founder Clare Dolan.

SUMMARY:Latin Ballroom with Michael Sazonov Trial Class
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a trial class ahead of the start of Michael Sazonov’s new Latin Ballroom dance series designed to light the fire for movement within and keep you dancing long after the session ends. \n\n\n\nThe upcoming Latin Ballroom with Michael Sazonov is a six-week\, easy-going dance workshop series that takes us on a down-to-earth dance tour of salsa\, mambo\, merengue\, cumbia\, and tango\, where you will not only learn new dance styles and modes of movement\, but also gain confidence in distinguishing types of rhythm\, music\, and instrumentation along the way. \n\n\n\nNo partners needed\, no experience necessary. \n\n\n\nLet’s take the mystique out of the discoteca and bring that groove into your own home.

SUMMARY:New Jersey Ballet Residency Show & Tell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a culmination of New Jersey Ballet’s week-long Works & Process creative residency at ArtYard. NJ Ballet will share company favorites and will offer an inside look at the creative process of choreographer Roderick George’s newest work Wings of Desire\, commissioned by New Jersey Ballet\, ArtYard\, and Works & Process\, before it is performed at Guggenheim New York on January 10 and New Jersey Center for the Performing Arts on April 24 and 25. \n\n\n\nInspired by classical ballets like Giselle\, Romeo and Juliet\, and La Bayadère\, Wings of Desire explores themes of relationships\, sensuality\, morality\, and the human gaze\, and the idea that the most iconic love stories are intertwined with loss — characters who surrender to love only to face death.  At its core\, it’s a raw and emotionally charged ballet that confronts the passage of time and our resistance to accepting fate from the moment we begin to breathe. And just as we gain breath\, we will one day lose it. Set to an original score that bridges past and future musical traditions\, this work celebrates freedom\, connection\, and the extraordinary artistry of the dancers of New Jersey Ballet.

SUMMARY:Night of the Radishes: Radish-carving workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us to create an epic holiday tableau out of carved radishes\, inspired by the Night of the Radishes (Spanish: Noche de Rábanos) in Oaxaca\, Mexico. A tradition dating back to 1897\, the Noche begins with a community of vegetable carvers who transform quantities of radishes into festive holiday scenes. Visitors line up by the thousands to glimpse the ephemeral results: since the radishes wilt soon after cutting\, the works must be enjoyed soon after. \n\n\n\nPlease bring a small cutting board and vegetable peeler or knife. ArtYard will provide the radishes and toothpicks.

SUMMARY:Davóne Tines’ Can I Help You?
DESCRIPTION:Pathbreaking vocalist Davóne Tines returns with his band\, THE TRUTH\, to develop Can I Help You?\, a new work that invites listeners into a world of self-reflection and catharsis. This intimate performance combines subtle strains of classical\, experimental R&B\, jazz\, and string music\, framed by simple guided meditations\, providing a space for a direct\, personal\, and immediate connection. \n\n\n\nAbout Davóne Tines\n\n\n\nDavóne Tines is a pathbreaking artist whose work encompasses a diverse repertoire\, ranging from early music to new commissions by leading composers\, while exploring the social issues of today. A creator\, curator\, and performer at the intersection of many histories\, cultures\, and aesthetics\, he is engaged in work that blends opera\, art song\, spirituals\, contemporary classical\, gospel\, and protest songs as a means to tell a deeply personal story of perseverance connecting to all of humanity. \n\n\n\nTines is an artist who takes full agency of his work\, often devising new programs and pieces from conception to performance. He has premiered numerous operas by today’s leading composers\, including John Adams\, Terence Blanchard\, and Matthew Aucoin; and his concert appearances include performances of works ranging from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony to Kaija Saariaho’s True Fire. He recently made his Metropolitan Opera debut performing in John Adams’ El Niño. His first studio album\, ROBESOИ\, released on Nonesuch Records in September 13\, 2024. explores his connection to legendary American baritone Paul Robeson\, reimagining some of the music Robeson famously sang. \n\n\n\nTines is Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Artist-in-Residence and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale’s first-ever Creative Partner. He is Musical America’s 2022 Vocalist of the Year\, a winner of the 2020 Sphinx Medal of Excellence\, and the recipient of the 2018 Emerging Artists Award from Lincoln Center.
