Noche Flamenca’s latest creation is an evocative flamenco performance inspired by the powerful imagery of Francisco de Goya. Artistic director Martin Santangelo reimagines the artist’s work through riveting choreography, original music, and expressive storytelling. With vibrant costumes, lighting, and masks designed by Mary Frank, each scene delivers a visceral journey through Goya’s vision.

With guidance from Goya expert Mark MacDonald of The Met, the piece offers fresh interpretations of works like El Quitasol, Perro Semihundido, and Duelo a Garrotazos. Through flamenco’s emotional depth and raw energy, this performance captures the enduring power of Goya’s art and the universal truths it still reveals.

Breaking Cycles, Building Community: Vanessa Morrow’s Debut Exhibition is a powerful collection of bold paintings and poetry exploring liberation, self-discovery, and breaking generational cycles. Each piece is paired with an original poem in a hand-designed brochure, guiding viewers through Morrow’s deeply personal journey.

“Break the Cycle is about acknowledging what no longer serves us and choosing the lifelong work of healing,” said Morrow. “I want people to feel seen in that process, to know they are not alone.”

Break the Cycle is showing now at MYLR Gallery through September 30th. Original works and limited-edition merchandise are available.

Five Cities Repair Cafe in partnership with iFixit is having their quarterly event where neighbors help neighbors fix your broken stuff and keep it out of the landfill. Toss it? No Way! Handy volunteers fix broken items for FREE.

We repair bikes, clothing & textiles, outdoor gear and apparel, jewelry, household appliances (like blenders, toasters, vacuums), furniture, laptops, tablets, phones, and more. If you know what replacement part is needed, bring it to speed things up (i.e. zipper, lamp cord).

Don't landfill it. Fix It! IWMA will have a booth with recycling tips and complimentary countertop compost bins. We also encourage you to bring your garden abundance to share with your neighbors. The Central Coast Bioneers Annual Conference is happening next door in the Barn.
