In this hands-on photography workshop, students will use their iPhones to transform everyday photos into powerful visual stories. Moving beyond simple snapshots, students will learn to create double-exposure and overlay photography — blending two images into a surreal composition.

Imagine photographing a classmate and merging their silhouette with ocean waves, glowing sunsets, forests, or abstract textures — creating an image that feels like stepping into another reality.

Students will learn how to:

• Capture strong portraits using natural light

• Compose dynamic texture and background images

• Use iPhone editing tools and Snapseed

• Layer and blend photos using double exposure tools

• Adjust opacity, contrast, brightness, and mood

• Create visual stories exploring identity, dreams, and alternate worlds

Before class:

Please download Snapseed (free).

This is a 3-day workshop taking place on July 27th, 28th, and 29th. All sessions will run from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM.

Please join us for a conversation exploring how art, film, publishing, and theater shape, preserve, and advance Jewish identity. The program will feature acclaimed filmmakers, producers, authors, journalists, and cultural leaders, including Avi Issacharoff, co-creator of Fauda; Dayna and Brian Lee, three-time Tony and two-time Olivier Award-winning producers (including Giant on Broadway); Jake Cohen, chef and bestselling author; Michel Hausmann, founder and artistic director of Miami New Drama; Lawrence Bender, Academy Award-winning producer (Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting, Inglourious Basterds); Stacey Mindich, Tony Award-winning producer; Naomi Firestone-Teeter, CEO of Jewish Book Council; and Stephanie Butnick, podcast host and founder of GOLDA.

Doors open at 9:45 AM, with the panel starting promptly at 10:30 AM.

Photographs are, as writer Roland Barthes affirms, “certificates of presence”: verification that a moment, a person, or a place existed. From the adoration of a loved one or the wonder felt before nature, to the hardship of labor and the devastation of war, photographs are imprinted by human experience.

Featuring approximately 100 photographs by over 50 artists, this exhibition explores the concept of presence through tender portraits, awe-inspiring landscapes, candid photojournalism, and spontaneous cityscapes. Drawn entirely from the collection of photographer and humanitarian Judy Glickman Lauder, Presence creates a dialogue among an array of photographs by some of the most beloved and influential practitioners of the 20th century, including Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Imogen Cunningham, Danny Lyon, Gordon Parks, James Van Der Zee, and more.

Join us on Thursday, August 6 for a special screening of HEAARTBEAT, an intimate documentary by Alexandra Fairweather exploring the life, work, and creative philosophy of the late sculptor John Chamberlain. Drawn from years of personal footage and unprecedented access, the film offers a rare portrait of Chamberlain not only as one of the most influential artists of the postwar era, but as a father, husband, friend, and endlessly curious creative force.

Filmed over seven years and featuring archival footage captured by Fairweather beginning in her teenage years, HEAARTBEAT moves beyond the public mythology surrounding Chamberlain to reveal the rhythms of his daily life, artistic process, humor, and humanity. The documentary traces his six-decade practice across crushed automobiles, foam, aluminum foil, photography, and other experimental mediums, while exploring his belief that art should create an experience that “makes your heart beat.”

At once deeply personal and historically resonant, HEAARTBEAT is both a portrait of a groundbreaking artist and a meditation on legacy, memory, and the enduring power of art.

Following the screening of THE BONACKERS, stay for a special conversation with filmmaker Joanne Friedland Roberts and Pete Topping, Baykeeper and Executive Director of Peconic Baykeeper.

THE BONACKERS is a 60-minute documentary that tells the story of the fiercely independent men and women whose families have fished and farmed the East End of Long Island for nearly 400 years. As they work to preserve their traditions despite increasing development and environmental challenges, the film offers an intimate look at a way of life that may be among the last of its kind.

Filmmaker Joanne Friedland Roberts is an award-winning writer, producer, director, and digital media pioneer who has created original television series and content for organizations including CBS, PBS, ABC/Disney, HBO, Nickelodeon, the Smithsonian, and Sesame Workshop. THE BONACKERS is her first independent feature documentary and directorial debut. Since its premiere on WLIW-TV, the film has been featured on PBS Passport, public television stations nationwide, Kanopy, and at theaters and historical societies across Long Island.

Joining Joanne is Pete Topping, Baykeeper and Executive Director of Peconic Baykeeper, a Hampton Bays-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting and restoring Long Island's waters. Raised along Little Peconic Bay, Pete's lifelong passion for marine conservation was inspired by witnessing the effects of brown tide algal blooms as a child. With a background in marine biology, environmental education, and shellfish restoration, Pete now leads Peconic Baykeeper's efforts to protect the region's drinkable, swimmable, and fishable waters through science, education, advocacy, and community engagement.

Together, Joanne and Pete will discuss the cultural heritage of the East End, the environmental challenges facing its waters and working waterfronts, and why preserving both remains vital for future generations.

Join us for the screening of The Right Whale: Tales of Resilience and Hope, followed by a reception and an engaging panel discussion with the filmmakers, Cheryl and Nick Dean, and Ecologist, Author, and Conservationist Carl Safina.

The Right Whale: Tales of Resilience and Hope celebrates the enigmatic lives of right whales as they navigate the world’s oceans. We meet individual whales who are as intrepid as any human explorer and witness intimate moments between mothers and their calves. Filmed in collaboration with scientists worldwide, we gain a deeper understanding of how these magnificent creatures perceive their environment. The ocean has changed dramatically since right whales were thriving centuries ago. Southern right whales represent one of the greatest conservation success stories of our time, but their Northern cousins are in peril. The Right Whale explores the changes needed to revive an ocean full of giants.

Photographs are, as writer Roland Barthes affirms, “certificates of presence”: verification that a moment, a person, or a place existed. From the adoration of a loved one or the wonder felt before nature, to the hardship of labor and the devastation of war, photographs are imprinted by human experience.

Featuring approximately 100 photographs by over 50 artists, this exhibition explores the concept of presence through tender portraits, awe-inspiring landscapes, candid photojournalism, and spontaneous cityscapes. Drawn entirely from the collection of photographer and humanitarian Judy Glickman Lauder, Presence creates a dialogue among an array of photographs by some of the most beloved and influential practitioners of the 20th century, including Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Imogen Cunningham, Danny Lyon, Gordon Parks, James Van Der Zee, and more.

Sammy Figueroa is a percussionist, bandleader, and Grammy-nominated artist known for his extensive work in Latin jazz, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean music. Over the course of his career, Figueroa has performed and recorded with artists including Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, David Bowie, Mariah Carey, Chaka Khan, and Herbie Hancock, while also leading his own acclaimed ensembles.

This special performance pays tribute to Cal Tjader, the pioneering vibraphonist and bandleader whose recordings helped bring Latin jazz to a wider audience during the 1950s and 1960s. Known for combining Afro Cuban rhythms with cool jazz and West Coast jazz traditions, Tjader collaborated with artists including Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, and Eddie Palmieri and remains a major influence within Latin jazz.

Featuring rhythm driven arrangements, improvisation, and music associated with Tjader’s celebrated recordings and musical legacy, this performance honors one of the defining figures in the history of Latin jazz.
