Residents Event Calendar

Ancient Civilizations Please join us to examine art from the four great ancient civilizations; Mesopotamia (present day Iraq), Egypt, Greece and the Roman Empire. Each culture in turn contributed to the foundation of our own civilization.

Art instructor Tracy Brusa will be here to guide you through a fun afternoon creating a work of art! We’ll provide all the materials needed (16×20 canvas, paint supplies and aprons) and of course, the wine to accompany the process! NO EXPERIENCE necessary! Previous registration required.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinx and hilarity.

We travel with Briarwood aboard a Knight’s Limo Bus to Lenox for a BSO concert at the music shed! Dima Slobodeniouk conducts Rachmaninoff and Sibelius featuring pianist Yefim Bronfman. A box lunch will be served aboard the bus. Previous registration required.

Throughout its 40-year history, the Kennedy Center Honors has redefined America’s perception of its artistic legacy and reinvented the way this nation rewards its artists. The Honors have been compared to a knighthood in Britain, or the French Legion of Honor–the quintessential reward for a lifetime’s endeavor. The annual gala serves as the year’s crowning event for millions of American arts lovers as we pay tribute to our nation’s preeminent artists with performances by great stars who have followed in their footsteps. Let me repeat that “as we pay tribute to our nation’s preeminent artists with performances by great stars…” And WHO KNEW those great stars live right here at Southgate? And WHO KNEW the Kennedy Center Honors gala would be held right here at Southgate in November? It’s our 30th anniversary and we’re celebrating in a big way! ALL are welcome to join us this afternoon to find out how they can participate in the fun! There is something for everyone because ‘the best of times is NOW’.
