Mike is a local photographer who is also a lover of beer. He has been active in local social media groups where his shots drew our admiration. His work for this show is beer themed throughout and will be the pefect backdrop for our favorite room to drink beer in. Bradley is the closet thing we have at the Tap and Mallet to a resident artist. This will be his 5th show. This time around we will see him return to his impressionist style but with a greater use of warm colors than he has used in past shows.

The RIT/NTID Dyer Arts Center is hosting an Artists' Reception for works by Yiqiao Wang, and Hilary Allumaga, on display through October 29.
Yiqiao Wang's artwork has a unique and distinctive style that has become her trademark through her use of vivid colors and stylized geometric abstracts. Her works, whether they represent humans, animals or objects, are interpretations on what she sees and perceives in her daily life.
Artist Hilary Allumaga's abstract paintings are scenes of Nigerian life, in which he uses dark colors to represent struggles of the past, and bright colors to signify hope of the future. Use of round shapes and starbursts also symbolize the future.

Swan? theatrical performance (2016-Sep-9 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2016-09-09 19:30 - 21:30 | Bread and Water Theatre, 172 W. Main St., Rochester, New York, United States
Victor native Kristin Warn has crafted a performance that combines spoken word storytelling with dance plus a new twist on the classic story of The Ugly Duckling, drawing from her own experiences as an adoptee in a world where blended families are far more kind than fairy tales make them out to be. The idea came to her while writing and collaborating on a show for the Pittsburgh Fringe Festival which highlighted four different world versions of Cinderella as presented by actresses of each background. "Growing up adopted, I never really felt any specific cultural connection. I decided to write Swan? as an exploration of folklore for the culture of the adoptee, highlighting my own journey and struggles, as well as honoring the people in my life who have helped make me who I am." Raised in Victor, and with many of the friends and family honored in the piece still living in the Rochester area, Kristin chose Bread and Water Theatre, headed by fellow Nazareth College Alum J.R. Teeter, as a fitting place for the world premiere.

2016-09-09 20:00 - 21:30 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen America Is Hard To See (Emile de Antonio, U.S. 1970, 90 min., 16mm).
1968: a critical year in world and U.S. history. The Viet Cong launch the Tet offensive, ten million French workers join a general strike, the Soviet Union invades Czechoslovakia, and hundreds of students are gunned down in Mexico City. After Eugene McCarthy almost wins the New Hampshire primary, Robert Kennedy enters the race and LBJ declines to run. Martin Luther King Jr.'s murder is followed by riots in many U.S. cities. RFK's murder leads to the nomination of Hubert Humphrey amid a Chicago police riot. Richard Nixon becomes president. Radical filmmaker Emile de Antonio's chronicle of the 1968 Democratic primaries and convention is a timely film in this year's contentious election and usefully complements Medium Cool (screening October 7).
