This engaging brotherhood of musicians traces the rich tributaries of Americana – Blues, Bluegrass, and New Orleans juke joint Rhythm & Blues, enduring genres newly electrified with a modern charge.

Monique Sarkessian’s “Chanticleer Allium Garden II,” 24" x 48", encaustic wax on wood. public reception to meet the artist will take place on Friday, October 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Art Gallery located in the Connelly Center on the Villanova campus. Refreshments will be served. Convenient on-campus parking is available. “Garden of Miracles,” comprised of more than 40 paintings in oil and encaustic wax, will include paintings completed during and inspired by the artist’s recent professional trip to France; several pieces done en plein air at locations throughout the Delaware Valley; and some of her stunning still lifes, featuring glorious blooms and sumptuous fruits. Visitors will immediately recognize Sarkessian as a colorist, whose work begins as a response to color, shape, and texture. People often comment that her work has a European feel. Assuming that her dynamic sunflower paintings were done abroad, viewers are often surprised to discover that they were painted in nearby Malvern; her graceful lavender fields were done in Doylestown and New Hope. She muses: “The European painters I love are very expressive, and I very much have an expressive nature in life and in my art.” Regarding the title of her show, Sarkessian says “Garden of Miracles” reflects her love of nature, which is always the source of her painting. She adds, “The subtitle, ‘Finding the Divine in Everyday Life’ expresses my conviction that there’s a spiritual connection running throughout creation. My personal philosophy is that there is an order in the universe and a divine force – God – that is lavishly benevolent and creative. There’s so much tension, so much distraction, so much screen time in our lives today, and it can cloud our understanding of our true identities. When people walk through the exhibit, I want them to feel refreshed.” Sarkessian laughs and calls her summertime trip to France her “Eat, Paint, Love” tour. Always an admirer and student of the great European post-impressionist painters – notably Van Gogh and Cezanne – Sarkessian knew she would find new inspiration in the places where those artists had lived and worked. She visited various areas in the south of France, then spent five days in Paris. “It was really good for me to go, and then return home and see beauty here in a new way,” says Sarkessian. Her France paintings are small – no larger than 12" x 16" – thanks to the logistical challenges that international travel poses to an artist. Several of those 20 paintings will be included in “Garden of Miracles,” as will other, larger pieces (3' x 3' and 4' x 4') that she has completed here at home, using her travel as inspiration. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Monique Sarkessian earned her bachelor of fine arts degree in painting at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. In continuing studies she has studied 18th Century European furniture painting, art education, and traditional icon painting with a Russian master iconographer. She also keeps her professional skills constantly moving forward by taking workshops with internationally recognized painters Stanley Bielen, Dale O. Roberts, Martin Campos, Jeff Schaller, Jon Redmond, and Moe Brooker. Since 1984, Monique’s work has been shown and honored with awards at numerous exhibitions across the country including two museums. Some of her recent awards include second place for painting out of 84 painters in the inaugural Plein Air Brandywine Valley Art Competition, 3rd place in Plein Air Brandywine Valley 2013, as well as awards by Artists Equity, juried shows at Harcum College, Montgomery County Community College, Main Line Art Center and Chester Country Art Association. Sarkessian’s work can be explored on her website, www.moniquesarkessian.com. The Villanova University Art Gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. - 11 p.m. For extended and weekend hours, and other information, contact the Art Gallery at 610-519-4612I. Info is available on the Gallery’s website: www.artgallery.villanova.edu. Since 1842, Villanova University’s Augustinian Catholic intellectual tradition has been the cornerstone of an academic community in which students learn to think critically, act compassionately and succeed while serving others. There are more than 10,000 undergraduate, graduate and law students in the University’s six colleges—the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Villanova School of Business, the College of Engineering, the College of Nursing, the College of Professional Studies and the Villanova University School of Law.

Teen Artists’ “Art Effect” Exhibit in Philadelphia Nov. 5 Illustrates Transformative New Method in Art Education • Sat., Nov. 5 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Savery Gallery he free, pop-up, one-day-only “Art Effect” exhibit on Saturday, November 5 at Savery Gallery in Philadelphia answers the question,“What happens when teen artists are immersed in a unique six-month studio residency program that provides them with dedicated work space, unlimited materials, and access to world-class art educators?” Featuring more than two dozen works by 11 New Jersey art students aged 12-17, some of whom will be on hand for the exhibit, “Art Effect” will introduce Philadelphians to a new direction in art education. One River School of Art + Design is the first in a new, national network of franchised art schools. Established in 2012, the school’s innovative art programs and exhibits introduce suburban kids and adults to the kinds of exceptional, creative learning experiences otherwise only available in major cities. “One River School’s interactive process focuses on current concepts, and celebrates the most important artists and themes of the last 50 years,” said Founder and CEO Matt Ross. “Simply, our proprietary method delivers an experience that changes people’s lives.” To expand the concept, Ross, the former Founding CEO of School of Rock, has already begun to execute his growth plan. Another One River School is scheduled to open in January 2017 in Allendale, NJ, and Ross will soon announce a number of franchise agreements across America, including the Philadelphia area. For “Art Effect,” the 11 featured teen students were selectSara Howard, the artist.

The “reward” for their commitment was for their work to be exhibited in three major US cities: Boston (Oct. 8), Philadelphia (Nov. 5) and New York City (Dec. 10-11). “We wanted to test the ‘effect’ we could have on motivated young artists by creating an audacious goal, and challenging them to make the best artwork of their lives,” explained Ross. “As an educator, I’ve seen that we have helped them cultivate new ideas and techniques that will serve them for their lifetime. They’ve encountered many challenges where they had to find new and different ways to accomplish their goals, and have produced some very impressive new artwork in the process.” During the “Art Effect” exhibit on November 5, Ross will provide curator presentations and discuss the One River School concept, while its young artists will talk about their work and immersive experiences at the school. Exhibit hours for “Art Effect” A Drop in the Sea” by 17-year-old One River School student will be from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sara Howard, who is one of the 11 NJ students whose selected on Saturday, November 5 at works are being exhibited in the pop-up Philadelphia exhibit Savery Gallery, 319 N. 11th and who will be appearing there as well.

The Baldwin School presents “Sister Act, A Divine Comedy” in its new Simpson Center for the Performing Arts, November 4 & 5. ejoice! The Baldwin School presents “Sister Act, A Divine Comedy” in its new Simpson Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are expected to go quickly for this upbeat comedy. Performances are Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, November 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at www.maskers.club. You can also move with the ’70s groove prior to the 2 p.m. show on Saturday, November 5, by attending the Disco Fever Workshop, which begins at noon and features fun activities for students of all ages, including learning ’70s line dances, doing art projects and playing theater games. The workshop will conclude at 1:45 p.m. and participants will get to perform what they’ve learned prior to the start of the show! Cost for the Child Disco Workshop is $20 and includes a ticket to the 2 p.m. show, two concession tickets (for a snack and drink prior to the show) and a “Sister Act” keepsake. “Sister Act” is based on the 1992 hit film of the same name that starred Whoopi Goldberg. The story follows diva want-to-be Deloris Van Cartier (played by senior Sarai Brown-Alexander) as her life takes a surprising turn after she witnesses her boyfriend Curtis (played by freshman Jattu Fahnbulleh) murder an undercover police officer, Ernie (junior Kate Park). Deloris turns to an old high school friend who is now a cop, Eddie (played by sophomore Lionel McCulloch from the Center for Performing and Fine Arts of PALCS Charter School) who hides her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent! Under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior (junior Mariana Leone), Deloris helps her fellow sisters, including meek novice Sister Mary Robert (junior Natalia Schafer) and Sister Mary Patrick (junior Melia Hagino) find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. Also featured in the production as thugs are Cristina Artis as Joey, Ishana S. as TJ and Lauren Fosnocht as Curtis’s henchmen. Additional nuns include Alexis McCall, Audrey Senior, Katie Mostek and a fabulous chorus of dancing and singing nuns: Lili Ana Balatel, Leanne Sun, Shiyu Li, Stephanie Zhou, Katie Phillips, Cali Walsh, Juliana Charles, Emily Seltzer, Ashley Tate, Kate Park, Zoya Siddiqui, Bradleigh Bell and Neelam Pandya. Emily Thompson plays the Monsignor. “Sister Act” is directed by Baldwin Drama Teacher Aileen McCulloch, who is also the Artistic Director of the Vagabond Acting Troupe and Education Director of the Steel River Playhouse. She is joined by music director Lee Hagon-Kerr and a professional band. Senior Jenn Brown is production manager, while junior Julia Maenza stage manages with freshman Kit Conklin assisting. The Baldwin School – located at 701 Montgomery Avenue, in Bryn Mawr, PA – is an independent, all-girls college preparatory school for pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students. For information, attend an All-School Open House on November 3, 2016 at 6 p.m. You can also visit www.BaldwinSchool.org or call 610-525-2700.

Bird, Whale, Bug: Making Music with Nature Chanticleer Lecture Co-Sponsored by Radnor Memorial Library and Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens n Sunday, October 30, 2016, at 2 p.m., Radnor Memorial Library and Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens will present a musical lecture featuring philosopher David Rothenberg at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, located at 631 Berwyn Baptist Road, in Devon. The lecture is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. Inspired by the melodies and beats of birds, whales, and bugs, author and Jazz musician David Rothenberg has published several popular books, including an animal-music trilogy to show how animals use musical sounds to communicate with us. The Harvard educated and New Jersey Institute of Technology professor will be traveling, with his clarinet, to Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens for an enthusiastic talk on his many books, a performance on his clarinet, followed by a book signing. One of his books, “Why Birds Sing: A Journey into the Mystery of Bird Song,” has a companion CD that features the musician in concert with his Enjoy a free musical lecture featuring philosopher, professor, author, avian friends. Rothenberg has performed with Jazz musician David Rothenberg on Sunday, October 30, 2016, at other Jazz musicians (along with humpback whales 2 p.m. at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, in Devon. and orcas) around the world. His voice is inclusive and calls on us to shift the way we listen. David Rothenberg states: “…If the voice of an animal is not heard as message but as art, interesting things start to happen: Nature is no longer scrutable, some alien puzzle, but instead immediately something beautiful, a source of exuberant song, a tune with some space for us to join in, at once a creative place for humanity to join in.” Books will be available for purchase. For information, contact Pam Sedor, 610-687-1124 ext. 21.

Temple University Hospital Testing Promising New Lupus Drug recently approved Phase III clinical trial being conducted at Temple University Hospital is investigating whether a new, investigational drug for lupus is more effective than medications currently in use. In early phases, the drug, anifrolumab, reduced symptoms in more than half of patients after a year. Patients on the drug also had a decreased need for corticosteroids to treat inflammation that is common in lupus. “The data from the Phase II trial was so promising that the FDA has granted fast-track approval for this new medication,” says Roberto Caricchio, MD, the trial’s primary investigator at Temple and Director of the Temple Lupus Clinic at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. “That’s excellent news because currently there are only four other drugs that have been approved to treat lupus, and only one of those was approved in the past 50 years. It is hoped that this treatment will help patients. However, this cannot be guaranteed.”Temple is the only hospital in the Philadelphia region serving as an investigational site for the new drug, developed by AstraZeneca. A diverse and complicated autoimmune disease, lupus affects approximately 1.5 million Americans, and more than 16,000 new cases are reported every year. Many of the medications used to manage lupus symptoms – such as joint and muscle pain, fever, rashes, and fatigue – are actually prescribed off-label. “That means these drugs haven’t been tested with rigorous clinical trials in patients with lupus, which could lead to undesirable side effects, especially when used long-term,” Dr. Caricchio says. “Lupus causes such a spectrum of man-

ifestations ranging from mild to life-threatening and everything in between, which is why it’s difficult to develop medications to treat it and to determine whether patients are responding to those medications.” Intended for patients with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus, anifrolumab targets interferon type-1, a protein involved in inflammation that has been known for decades to be important in the pathogenesis of the disease. “Interferon type-1 is a molecule called a cytokine, which activates a variety of immune cells in lupus and triggers flares,” Dr. Caricchio explains. “Each immune cell has a ‘lock’ (receptor) that is opened by the ‘key’ interferon type-1. Once the lock is open the cell activates and so does the lupus. Previous lupus medications tried to block the interferon type-1 cytokine, but anifrolumab directly blocks the receptor (the lock) on the cell instead, making it more effective.” Temple investigators are seeking 10 to 20 study participants between the ages of 18 and 70 with moderate to severe lupus who are currently taking prescription medication to treat lupus. The clinical trial will last a year and a half and requires 16 total visits. All study-related care will be provided at no cost, and patients will continue to take their current lupus medications in addition to receiving the new medication intravenously once a month. Patients will also complete regular questionnaires from home and submit them electronically. For information about this or other clinical research trials at the Temple Lupus Clinic, email tug24408@temple.edu or call 215-707-4479.

et in the “spirit” of the season at one of Fort Mifflin’s Mud Island Halloween events! Featured on the country’s “most haunted” lists, Fort Mifflin provides opportunities for believers, skeptics and everyone in-between to enjoy night time access to an extraordinary National Historic Landmark. Unlike many Halloween season attractions, your experience at the Fort is completely authentic. The site’s unique character, illuminated with torches and candles, enhances the story of the Fort’s permanent residents. Fort Mifflin’s Candlelight Ghost Tours (October 21, 28) are one-hour guided tours sharing true stories of unexplained occurrences at the site. While you wait for your tour to depart from the Hospital Building, check out a display of photos captured by paranormal investigators and visitors (some in broad daylight!) that may just make a believer out of you. Tours begin at 7 p.m. Each tour lasts about an hour and a new tour departs every 20 - 30 minutes. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes – and bring a flashlight if you like. The spirits are in full party mode on Saturday, October 22 from 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. at the Mud Island Halloween Party. All proceeds support historic programming and restoration at this brand new FUN-d raiser. Join the DJ in the historic and haunted casemates, see what the future holds with a Tarot card reading, make your own s’mores by the fire pit, explore a “hot spot” with an experienced paranormal investigator, check out a classic horror film in the Casemate Cinema or just eat, drink and be scary. Costumes encouraged but not required. October 29 wraps up the fun and excitement with both day-time and night-time events. From 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. break out your costumes and meet some of the Fort’s most famous ghosts in person at Trick or Treat with the Ghosts. Get to know the Unknown Tour Guide, the Screaming Lady and more! When the sun goes down, see if the ghosts come out and Sleep with the Ghosts, if you dare! This is a once-a-year opportunity for the public to spend the whole night in the historic and haunted Fort. Bring your investigation equipment, or just your cell phone and a flash light. Actual sleep is optional, but dormatory-style overnight accommodations are available. Bring a sleeping bag or air mattress, or your tent if you prefer. Light refreshments provided. All the details (and advance tickets) are available online at www.FortMifflin.us or on Facebook at OfficialFortMifflinInfo. Boo!
