This collection features motifs of residential architecture reminiscent of the small town Presley grew up in\, and one she often returns to in her work. Through bright colors\, family photographs and vintage papers\, Presley evokes memories of home. The etchings and collages\, however\, frequently lack subjects\, leaving them specific to no one and emphasizing the empty\, unobtainable feeling of nostalgia.  URL:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/event_list/sarah-presley-silver-spark-lucky-star-public-reception CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts,Exhibition,Free,Public Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/MAC-Sarah-Presley-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270123T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270123T150000 DTSTAMP:20260803T141538Z CREATED:20260803T141538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T141538Z UID:10006159-1800716400-1800716400@youthsports.pgparks.com SUMMARY:Tribute to the Music of New Birth and More DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an afternoon of soul\, energy\, and unforgettable music!

This exhibition examines self-healing and restoration\, capturing subjects with closed eyes to symbolize the moment they disengage from the outside world and focus on their “internal map”—the geometric architecture of the soul. Drawing on Pablo Picasso inspired energy\, Lydia Peters presents personal growth as a literal structural shift\, where color becomes personality and each hue reflects a distinct emotional frequency\, from the vital greens of growth to the royal golds of transcendence. A contemporary fine artist\, Peters uses the human form to document the structural evolution of the human spirit\, offering a visual language for self-restoration and internal alignment that reveals the beauty and complexity of looking within.   URL:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/event_list/lydia-peters-the-inward-canvas CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts,Exhibition,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/HHAC-Lydia-Peters-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270125 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270314 DTSTAMP:20260803T141538Z CREATED:20260803T141538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T141538Z UID:10005827-1800835200-1804982399@youthsports.pgparks.com SUMMARY:Lydia Peters: The Inward Canvas - Public Reception DESCRIPTION:The Inward Canvas explores the act of turning internally in a world of constant external noise.

Shifting away from his previous focus on figures and portraits\, Davis utilizes the interior architectural space as a platform for surrealistic reimagining. By transforming walls and floors into narrative landscapes\, he creates immersive environments that invite viewers to step directly into the stories being told.  \n\n\n\nThese purposeful narratives confront the pressing issues of inequality\, discrimination\, racism\, and injustice\, intertwining them with history and culture. Davis’ work remains deeply rooted in the human experience\, specifically the Black experience as it relates to truth and identity. For Davis\, creating art for social change is a catalyst for the meaningful dialogue necessary to heal and find solutions to collective problems. Through these evocative spaces\, The Power Rooms examines the strength of a culture and the vital importance of reclaiming one’s history.  URL:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/event_list/tim-davis-the-power-rooms CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts,Exhibition,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/BAE-Tim-Davis-2-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270125 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270321 DTSTAMP:20260803T141538Z CREATED:20260803T141538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T141538Z UID:10006195-1800835200-1805587199@youthsports.pgparks.com SUMMARY:A Lasting Vision: Alonzo Davis\, 1942-2025 DESCRIPTION:A Lasting Vision is a career-spanning tribute to the life and legacy of Alonzo Davis\, a foundational figure whose influence resonates deeply across the American art landscape. \n\n\n\nThis retrospective explores the evolution of Davis’ practice\, from muralism to his iconic mixed-media series. Using bamboo\, paper\, and found objects\, he crafted a visual language that speaks to migration\, resilience\, and the interconnectedness of the human experience.  URL:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/event_list/a-lasting-vision-alonzo-davis-1942-2025 CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts,Exhibition,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://youthsports.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/BAE-Alonza-Davis-1-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270127T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270127T140000 DTSTAMP:20260803T151953Z CREATED:20260803T141539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T151953Z UID:10006221-1801058400-1801058400@youthsports.pgparks.com SUMMARY:Kevin Howard Trio DESCRIPTION:Join national recording artist Kevin Howard—an award-winning\, world-class keyboardist—for an unforgettable live jazz experience.
