All Day

Art show opening: Jose Trejo Maya

Cary Arts Center 101 Dry Ave, Cary

Cary Arts Center Principal’s Hall | 101 Dry Avenue July 9, 2024 - August 24, 2025 Medium: Ink on film “I am a remnant of the Nahuatlacah oral tradition a tonalpouhque mexica, a commoner from the lowlands (i.e. Mexico) from a time and place that no longer exists. At present my poetry has been reified as it has been published in the UK, US, India, Spain, Australia, Argentina, Germany and Venezuela. I have been exhibited in different venues with a work that’s titled: Transparencies in Time: Cuahpohualli embedded in ethnopoetic language poetry: I seek to expand on this work into a comprehensive exhibit in a gallery and/or installation in 3D public art sculptures (i.e. three simultaneous monumental works that expand into multiple levels of perception and/or dimensions). In this the sculptures came from dreams, it’s a refraction of our ancestors so you see a mirror in yourself.” https://mozaikphilanthropy.org/ecosystemx/

Applause! Cary Youth Theatre Presents: The Tempest

Cary Arts Center 101 Dry Ave, Cary

Join Applause! Cary Youth Theatre this summer for Shakespeare’s fantastical tale of betrayal, exile, magic, and revenge! On a tiny forgotten island, the exiled Prospero has washed up like a message in a bottle, carrying his only daughter and grieving his lost position. Years later, those who wronged him fall into his clutches, and his grand game begins. Can there be revenge without violence? Can we be redeemed through art? What happens when the things we threw away come back to haunt us? For tickets, visit https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/50737621/applausecary-youth-theatre-presents-the-tempest-cary-cary-arts-center
