Jun 12    Leadership North Port - Arts & Culture/Manufacturing Day

Arts & Culture
The Arts play an important role in any growing region. Many people research the available arts and culture of a community before they decide to move to a city or geographic area. This event is a time for the leaders of North Port to gain exposure to the services and amenities that are already available to area residents.

Class participants learn how they can position our community for cultivating this sector even further by connecting with the North Port Art Center, the Symphony, the Performing Arts Center, the Chorale, and many other cultural organizations.

Manufacturing
The City of North Port has been blessed with a consistently stable and growing manufacturing and light industrial sector, coupled with overall thriving commerce and a healthy economy. This Day is designed to give North Port’s leaders an inside look as to how and why the City of North Port is growing, and why it is important for the community as a whole, to support all future efforts to continue the forward momentum. If North Port is to continue its march to become an economic engine for the metro area, the community and its leaders need to understand the dynamics of manufacturing and light industrial growth for the North Port area.

Jun 20    Bone Boutique & Images of Therapy Pop-Up In My Driveway June Edition North Port Art Crawl
At Bone Boutique and Images of Therapy, we believe fine art belongs out in the open air where real community happens. Every third Saturday of the month, we pull back the studio doors and transform our driveway into a living, breathing independent cultural stop.
 
For the upcoming June Edition, we are bringing an elite lineup of completely fresh, highly anticipated drops to the canopy. The theme is Reclaimed & Redefined, and the workbench has been a chaotic, beautiful collision of nature and modern electronics.
 
Here is exactly what is waiting for you:
The E-Waste Collection (Jewelry Debut): High-fashion wearable conservation pieces that merge ethically salvaged bone with the literal "guts" of stripped technology—utilizing vibrant red and black internal tech tendons and circuit wires as bold, structural design elements.
 
New Articulation Reveal: Phillip’s latest museum-grade masterpiece—a fully articulated cat salvaged right from Ponce De Leon near our home back in August 2023, finally ready for its public debut.
Images of Therapy Canvas Drops: Fresh, original fine art prints and powerful, soul-healing visual works fresh off the easels from both Michele and Phillip.
 
Map out your morning to include our neighbors over at Onda Therapy Co. (2461 Saybrook Ave), grab a coffee, and get ready to crawl!
 
?? Date: Saturday, June 20th
? Time: 9:00 AM – NOON (Free Museum Tours start at 11:00 AM sharp!)

Jun 22    Script and Song: A Beachfront Evening of Theater and Music

“Script and Song: A Beachfront Evening of Theater and Music,” featuring Hermitage Fellows Sam Beam and Lindsey Ferrentino, Monday, June 22, 6:30pm: Multiple Grammy Award nominee Sam Beam (also known as Iron & Wine) and celebrated Broadway playwright Lindsey Ferrentino are two artists at the top of their fields – contemporary folk music and contemporary theater. These two Hermitage Fellows are developing original works both individually and in collaboration. Beam has been creating music as “Iron & Wine” since 2002 and has released six studio albums along with multiple singles, EPs, and exclusive downloads. His latest album, Hen’s Teeth, “hums through the speakers like a quiet, sudden revelation” (Flood Magazine). Ferrentino’s first major New York production, Ugly Lies the Bone, was a New York Times Critic’s Pick in 2015 before transferring to the National Theater in London and has been produced in over 100 productions across the world. Since then, she has had several hits in both the U.S. and abroad, including the recent Broadway musical The Queen of Versailles, and her Olivier Award-nominated play The Fear of 13, now on Broadway starring two-time Academy Award winner Adrien Brody; she writes with what Variety calls “a moral conscience second to none among her generation of playwrights.” In this Hermitage Beach program, Beam and Ferrentino will offer insight into their individual artistic practices and share original work and music from their impressive careers, while discussing the nuances of collaborating across mediums. Join us on the Hermitage Beach for this inspiring evening of theater and music, just before sun sets into the Gulf. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Hermitage Artist Retreat, 6660 Manasota Key Road, Englewood, FL 34223

Oct 8    Jim Morris Tribute: Turning Nights Into Stories
 Jim Morris Tribute: 

Turning Nights into Stories 

A Jim Morris song can take you fishing, sailing, to the beach, and to some raucous bars inhabited by a crazy rascal or two. Whether it is a thoughtful ballad about doomed love or an anthem to a night of drunken revelry, the listener can always count on well-crafted songs with carefully drawn characters, clever lyrics, and satirical charm.
Longtime close friends and members of Jim’s Big Bamboo Band, James White, John Patti and Jimi Pappas bring his songs and stories to life in a night of celebration of Jim and his music.   Accomplished and award winning entertainers in their own right, they collectively recall the memories of adventurous times on the road, stories behind the songs and tales from recording sessions and live concerts with Jim.

These are all the classic fa-vorites you've loved since the '60s and '70s, like the groundbreaking Brill Building chart-topping pop mega hits conceived in a tiny Times Square cubicle, the timeless tunes you know by heart but possibly never knew Carole created, and of course the masterpieces from the record-shattering phenomenon Tapestry, the emblem of the singer/songwriter era that solidi-fied Carole King's position as a trailblazing woman to watch. The same music that electrifies the smash Broadway musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical will invigorate and comfort Natural Woman audiences as if they were guests in the artist's living room.
