Dear Friends,
From Miami to Los Angeles, we celebrated the summer solstice in June with the Fête de la Musique. Summer is still here and July continues to promise activities that will get you out and about!
In celebration of the French national holiday, Bastille Day, cities across the US, including Washington DC, New York, Boston, and Los Angeles, will be hosting festivities mid-July with music, dancing and other entertainment. Check your local listings for more information!
The weekly summer screening series, Films on the Green in New York City, will continue in July with Jean-Luc Godard’s A Woman is a Woman , a romantic musical Love Songs, and Tosca: the Movie an opera adapted for film, starring celebrated opera singers Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna.
If the summer heat is too much, museums are a great place to cool down and have fun. Several exciting exhibitions are on the agenda this month from coast to coast. At the Hyde Pack Art Center in Chicago, a large group exhibition entitled Spatial City: An Architecture of Idealism, will bring together an international, multi-generational array of artists with an emphasis on artists living in France such as François Morellet, Philippe Durand and many more. On the east coast, the well received retrospective, Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917, which has been showing at The Art Institute of Chicago, will travel to the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In San Francisco, the de Young is proud to be the only museum in the world to present two consecutive special exhibitions from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. The first, Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay opened May 22 and will run through the beginning of September.
So come on out and have some fun!
Best,
Kareen Rispal
