We meet every Thursday from 6:30-8:00. It’s a lot of fun (and learning) for both beginners and more advanced players. All ages welcome, but anyone under 12 must have an adult with them.
We have a few Ukes to borrow if you just want to come and check it out!

On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center, Nyack, NY, is pleased to open the exhibition, PORTAL: THE WINDOW IN AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHY, featuring twenty three images by seventeen nationally and globally esteemed photographers drawn from the collection of the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY.
This exhibition of gelatin silver prints and color photographs date from the late 1920s to early 2000s. Collectively, they reveal how photographers employ a window as a pictorial device to frame and anchor each image and, technically and theoretically, as a recognizable transparent space, or threshold, between figures on each side. The featured photographers are:
* William Anderson (American, 1932-2019),
* Toren Beasley (American, b. 1957),
* Manuel Álvarez Bravo (Me, 1902-2002),
* Richard Buswell (American, b. 1945),
* Elliott Erwitt (American, 1928-2023),
* Walker Evans (American, 1903-1975),
* Florence Henri (Swiss, 1893-1982),
* Jay Jaffee (American, 1921-1999),
* Simpson Kalisher (American, b. 1926),
* Barbara Karant (American, b. 1952),
* Roger Mertin (American, 1942-2001),
* Aaron Siskind (American, 1903-1991),
* Pete Turner (American, 1934-2017),
* Carrie Mae Weems (American, b. 1953),
* Minor White (American, 1908-1976),
* Garry Winogrand (American, 1928-1984)
Despite the differences between the images, the photographers in this exhibition — and painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967) — share an exploration of the storytelling capabilities of a simple aperture. Whether open to the elements or enclosed by glass, glimpsed in person or through a viewfinder, windows are portals to and from other real and imagined worlds.

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.
