SUMMARY:An Exploration of Color
DESCRIPTION:Since childhood\, Sarah Rocca has been captivated by the power of imagery\, the ability to freeze time and preserve memories through the art of painting with light. Her vivid imagination\, once confined to the colorful worlds she envisioned as a child\, found its voice through digital tools. This fusion of creativity and technology allowed Rocca to bring her unique perspective to life and share it with a broader audience. \nRocca’s use of color serves not only as a visual element but as a narrative device. Through her deliberate color choices\, she conveys mood\, emotion and unspoken subtext\, inviting viewers to engage with each piece on a personal level. An Exploration of Color is a visual memoir\, a journey through Rocca’s experiences of love\, divorce\, depression and joy. Each image encourages the viewer to reflect on how color influences their emotions and to interpret the story it tells through their own lens. \nClick here to learn more of the artist – Sarah Rocca.

SUMMARY:Adventures in Baby Hitting!
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning writer and professional actor Joshua Ritter performs a solo show that details his hilarious and heartbreaking experiences as the primary caregiver for his special needs twins.

SUMMARY:An Exploration of Color
DESCRIPTION:Since childhood\, Sarah Rocca has been captivated by the power of imagery\, the ability to freeze time and preserve memories through the art of painting with light. Her vivid imagination\, once confined to the colorful worlds she envisioned as a child\, found its voice through digital tools. This fusion of creativity and technology allowed Rocca to bring her unique perspective to life and share it with a broader audience. \nRocca’s use of color serves not only as a visual element but as a narrative device. Through her deliberate color choices\, she conveys mood\, emotion and unspoken subtext\, inviting viewers to engage with each piece on a personal level. An Exploration of Color is a visual memoir\, a journey through Rocca’s experiences of love\, divorce\, depression and joy. Each image encourages the viewer to reflect on how color influences their emotions and to interpret the story it tells through their own lens. \nClick here to learn more of the artist – Sarah Rocca.

SUMMARY:PETA Once Upon a Time...Come Relive PETA's Magical Milestones
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk and President Tracy Reiman along with PETA’s leaders for a journey like no other—a celebration with cocktails\, canapés\, and commemorations. Together\, we’ll step back into a time before PETA existed\, then be transported back to the here and now\, where millions of animals are safe and sound\, thanks to our revolutionary work! Our last stop—the not-so-distant future\, when animals will be liberated from every imaginable harm\, thanks to PETA’s new plans and committed supporters like you! \nWhen: Saturday\, April 18\, 3:00 p.m.—5:30 p.m. \nWhere: Broward Center for the Performing Arts\, Fort Lauderdale\, Florida \nCome enjoy a special retelling of some of the most exciting first steps on the path to big wins for animals. Hear how PETA is altering animals’ fates with groundbreaking advances in science\, innovative legal strategies\, daring undercover investigations\, and hard-hitting campaigns that change people forever. \nConnect with local PETA supporters as we celebrate the achievements of the recipient of the Nanci Alexander Activist Award presented by staunch animal rights defender Nanci Alexander herself. \nGuests will enjoy a pop-up shop full of PETA’s hottest merchandise and can snag attractive\, cruelty-free treasures from our silent auction. \nIndividual tickets to attend are $100. Special sponsorship opportunities are also available. Additional donations are requested to benefit PETA’s impactful work. Thanks to the generosity of a fellow supporter\, all donations for this event will be matched\, so your contribution will be doubled—a tremendous boost to our current and future animal liberation work.
