The Beginning of Creativity
An Interfaith, Intercultural Three Venue Event!
The Jewish Art Salon has created a radical cultural conversation, positively unique during the anxiety and dissonance of our current era. This exhibition of 130 artworks is a forceful aesthetic statement about unity, positivity, and hope, by creating a decisive new interreligious/intercultural/ visual art exhibition based on the Creation Narratives.
An innovative course of meaningful communication has emerged between Jewish, Christian, Islamic and secular artists as they created works of art reflecting these seminal stories of religious world literature. The exhibition is committed to an inclusive discussion examining the narratives and what they mean to the individual artists and their communities at large at this moment in world history.
The exhibition will feature two panel discussions to explore a selection of the artworks and the underlying ideas of Genesis:
- The Role of the Feminine in the Secular and the Sacred: Genesis’ complex ideas concerning contemporary women, including new approaches to spirituality and secular themes. May 11, 6pm, The Interchurch Center.
- The Art of Creation: A Discussion: the Genesis Narrative seen through the distinct lens of contemporary and progressive Islam, Christianity and Judaism. June 1, 6pm, Jewish Theological Seminary.

About the Book:
Isobel Gamble is a young seamstress carrying generations of secrets when she sets sail from Scotland in the early 1800s with her husband, Edward. An apothecary who has fallen under the spell of opium, his pile of debts have forced them to flee Edinburgh for a fresh start in the New World. But only days after they’ve arrived in Salem, Edward abruptly joins a departing ship as a medic––leaving Isobel penniless and alone in a strange country, forced to make her way by any means possible.

PAUL E. WEST & THE BETHUNE BIG BAND!
Come ready for a night of swing that will have you dancing “in the aisles” or in your seat – as the legendary bassist Paul West takes the baton of the BETHUNE BIG BAND for a great night of music!
Bassist, Paul E. West is a native of Harlem, New York. He began his studies in violin at the age of six, studying with Albert Polnarioff until the age of nineteen. Paul graduated from the prestigious High School of Music and Art in New York City, and received his B.A. in music from Wagner College in Staten Island, New York, where he changed his instrument from Violin to Bass Violin.
Paul is an international performing artist, an accomplished musician, conductor, arranger, who is known for his achievements as a (European) classical and American classical, jazz performer and educator.
During his career as a bassist, he has performed with prominent jazz artists including: Ray Charles, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Carmen McRae, Johnny Mathis, Billy Eckstine, Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, Milt Jackson Quartet, Kenny Barron Duo/Trio, Randy Weston, Barry Harris Quintet, Abby Lincoln, Heath Brothers Quartet, and the Billy Taylor Trio – Dr. Billy Taylor, later appointed him the third Executive Director of Jazzmobile, Inc. Upon leaving Jazzmobile he continued his career as an arts administrator as Executive Director of the Henry Street Settlement for over 30 years.
In his role as a conductor he conducted for Dizzy Gillespie and the Arrow Jazz Band in Japan, the Henry Street Settlement Symphony Orchestra at Avery Fisher Hall and for a string orchestra at the Montreal Jazz Festival with soloist, Randy Weston; and in 2003 he took the baton from his brother Charles Lonny West and Paul has been leading the Bethune Big Band ever since!
The Bethune Big Band
Charles Lonny West was the founder of the Bethune Big Band. He recruited legendary jazz artists who had retired from playing with jazz and swing bands; and others who were still performing. Together they organized and developed the Bethune Big Band. Over time, the band performed at community locations across the New York City area. Lonny appointed his brother, Paul, a well-known jazz musician, to conduct the Bethune Big Band from 2003 to the present. Lonny passed away on June 3, 2018. His brother continues to keep the band playing as a tribute to its founder, Charles Lonny West.
Today the band is comprised of well-known musicians who have garnered acclaim for their great musicianship!

About the Book:
Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book’s content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.

About the Book:
Everyone in Orange County’s Little Saigon knew that the Duong sisters were cursed.
It started with their ancestor Oanh who dared to leave her marriage for true love—so a fearsome Vietnamese witch cursed Oanh and her descendants so that they would never find love or happiness, and the Duong women would give birth to daughters, never sons.
