Events for 06/24/2025

An introduction to the Grove Street Cemetery, a National Historic Landmark and the nation's first publicly chartered burial ground organized with streets and family plots, established in 1797. This tour will focus on the lives and legacies of Black New Haveners including William Grimes and family; John, Vashti, and Courtland Creed; Bias and Margaret Stanley; Mary Ann Goodman; the Park and Bassett families; Jacob Oshon; Alexander Du Bois (grandfather of W. E. B. Du Bois); and others.

Joel Schiavone's ambitious and joyful vision for Downtown New Haven was centered on arts and entertainment, supporting small businesses, historic preservation, and designing streets as places for people. Come take a hip-deep dive into the building arts, businesses, project planning, theaters, galleries, and alleys that have made this 1980's endeavor a national model for urban revitalization.

Join visual artist Serena Scapagnini and scientist Florian Carle for a walking tour of New Haven to discover Serena’s original artworks created during her residency at the Yale Quantum Institute. The stops include installations on the New Haven Green, at the Robert B Haas Family Arts Library, and at the Yale Quantum Institute. The artworks are site-specific, composed of copper plates encapsulated painted paper and copper wires, playing on different types of memory: from biological systems and synapses to quantum memory and information stored in qubits.

With deep regret, we announce that this event has been canceled due to the forecast of extreme heat. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and in alignment with public safety guidelines to ensure the wellbeing of our audience, presenters, and staff.

Mireya Ramos' concert Guerrera ( "Warrior") is a vibrant celebration of cultural fusion and musical empowerment, serving as an homage to the women who have inspired her. Backed by a live band, Ramos, a Latin Grammy-winning vocalist and violinist, blends mariachi, salsa, and jazz with genres like country and R&B. Her performances reflect her Dominican and Mexican heritage, while honoring the strength of women in music.
