Medea is a sorceress who is a refugee in a foreign land with her two sons. Her husband Jason is wooed by King Creon to marry Creon’s daughter and thus\, to abandon Medea. This centuries-old tale and its themes of betrayal\, misogyny\, and revenge still resonate and ring strongly in our modern day.  URL:https://blackhistory.pgparks.com/event_list/medea-by-euripides CATEGORIES:Arts,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://blackhistory.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/HHAC-Medea-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270203 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270506 DTSTAMP:20260803T141539Z CREATED:20260803T141539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T141539Z UID:10006116-1801612800-1809561599@blackhistory.pgparks.com SUMMARY:When it Rains\, Flowers Grow by Brittnee Scott DESCRIPTION:Britnee Scott’s playful mixed media paintings affirm the enduring power of love over violence.

Long before the official designation of our creative corridor\, the Open Studios tour began as a grassroots effort by local pioneers to invite the public behind the scenes of the creative process. This milestone exhibition honors the 25-year history of those early artists who opened their doors\, shared their crafts\, and laid the foundation for what would eventually become the Gateway Arts District.  \n\n\n\nFeaturing a curated selection of works from across the studios\, the exhibition reflects the grit and collaborative spirit that have defined our neighborhood for decades. From the original artists who first welcomed the community into their workspaces to the new generation currently expanding our boundaries\, this showcase tells the story of a creative community built from the ground up. Join us as we celebrate 25 years of artistic transparency\, mentorship\, and the enduring legacy of the makers who call this region home.  URL:https://blackhistory.pgparks.com/event_list/across-the-threshold-celebrating-25-years-of-the-open-studio-tours CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts,Exhibition,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://blackhistory.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/BAE-Gateway-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270405T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270529T200000 DTSTAMP:20260803T141551Z CREATED:20260803T141551Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T141551Z UID:10006201-1806915600-1811620800@blackhistory.pgparks.com SUMMARY:Party People: Holly Bass DESCRIPTION:In the immersive solo exhibition Party People\, multidisciplinary artist Holly Bass presents a powerful series of photographs and videos documenting the soul of the dance floor.

The intentional absence of human presence allows the natural world to emerge as the central subject and protagonist.
