Our next event in our Art of Goodbye exhibit is coming this Thursday! You don’t hear the Ash Devine play and sing these haunting tunes very often throughout the year - plus, you never know what tales of spirits the audience will spin.

Incidentally, this is also another good pairing evening with The Lyric. Eat dinner, come to our place for spooky ballads, and you will be primed for the viewing of the smart, experimental horror film The Blair Witch project at 10:00 at the theater. @ashdevinemusic @thelyrictheatre

How many of you have come out to see the Art of Goodbye??? Make sure to stop by and check out our Artifact of the Week, a Casket and Sunnyside periodical from October 1921 on loan from the McCoy Funeral Home.

The exhibition includes tons of funerary material culture and details funerary traditions from the colonial era to now. It is a must-see, and community fan favorite, so make sure to stop by before the show ends on Friday, November 13! 😉

We are still reeling from the excitement of last night’s opening and having the chance to meet the incredibly talented Invincible Czars before they hit the stage at The Lyric! We already can’t wait to see them again next October! @thelyrictheatre @invincibleczars

As we complete finishing touches on our annual “Art of Goodbye” exhibit, we have been keeping Kenneth McCoy in our thoughts. Please join us in remembering all that he did for our community.

Kenneth was instrumental in the research and curation of “Art of Goodbye”. We were deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of Kenneth, but are grateful that we can continue honoring his passion through this exhibit. Please honor his legacy with us by stopping by to see some pieces from his collection.

We are so excited to kick off spooky season officially with Dr. Campo-Bowen’s talk on the legend of Faust! Whether you know the story and need a refresher or don’t know it all and need a crash course, this talk will prepare you for the event at @thelyrictheatre on Thursday! Bundle three events together for the full experience!

Thank you to all the attendees, sponsors, and volunteers who made this year’s Blues, Brews & BBQ possible! Thank you also to our musicians and food and beverage vendors.
