Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
From 12 to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, gather at the Katonah Library for music, food, and fun while experiencing the dynamic music of Corina Bartra.

Directly after the performance, feast on traditional dishes provided by Mexican Fiesta Taqueria in Bedford Hills and Chef Alissa Isabel. This is a free event, but registration is strongly suggested by visiting katonahlibrary.org
The Gallery at Yellow Studio
‘Traces of the Infinite’ Exhibition
The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents "Traces of the Infinite," a small group exhibition featuring the work of Helena Palazzi, Soli Pierce, and Lara Saget, on view Sept. 12 through Oct. 18. The exhibition brings together three practices that share an interest in a rawness of material and form, and a refusal to treat separation as final. Join in for an artists’ talk at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, followed by an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m.
Pierce and Saget both build their work from the materials of the natural world, stone, wood, glass, and metal, treating found and raw matter as a starting point rather than a finished thing. Palazzi's paintings meet that work with a muted palette and layered surface that hold the same quiet register. Together, the artists share an interest in what lies beneath the visible surface of a work, and in the moments when the boundaries we take for granted begin to give way.
Westchester Bluegrass Club
Mr. Sun
Performing on Thursday, Sept. 10. Mr. Sun brings together four acclaimed acoustic musicians - Darol Anger, Grant Gordy, Joe K. Walsh, and Aidan O’Donnell - each with deep roots in bluegrass and a long history of pushing musical boundaries. What makes this group stand out is not just individual talent, but the way they listen to each other in real time, creating music that feels both composed and completely spontaneous.
This is a family-friendly event, a kids are free! Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets, pack a picnic, and feel free to bring wine or beer to enjoy on the lawn. In case of inclement weather, the event will move indoors to the Lake Purdys Clubhouse. Gates open at 5 p.m., showtime from 6 to 8 p.m. $30 suggested donation.

Luke Bellas: Immersive Worlds of Imagination
The Center for the Digital Arts Gallery at SUNY Westchester Peekskill is thrilled to present Luke Bellas, a dynamic and visually captivating exhibition on view through Dec. 4.
This vibrant exhibition spotlights the work of emerging local artist Luke Bellas, whose bold paintings bring to life wildly imaginative characters inspired by the rich visual language of video games. Drawing from a lifelong passion for gaming, Bellas creates energetic, zany worlds filled with fantastical creatures and larger-than-life personalities that leap off the canvas with color, movement, and intensity.
