SUMMARY:Music Performance with Velvet Penny\, World Assembly Body Opera and Keepsake1Million
DESCRIPTION:Music Performance with Velvet Penny\, World Assembly Body Opera and Keepsake | Tues. Oct. 27\, 2026 | Doors open 6:30 pm\nFor Tickets\, Click HERE \nJoin us for a special music performance by Velevet Penny\, World Assembly Body Opera and Keepsake. Tickets are on a sliding scale; please choose the level you can support the artists. \n\nKeepsake Bio:\n\nKeepsake 1 Million is the musical project of renowned con artist Willem Cousineau. In October of 2025 he released his debut album Every Night I Get Vertigo\, a cathartic introduction to his songwriting. Since then he has played his songs with a revolving band of outstanding musicians and the sound has grown more eccentric and rambunctious.\n\nCollaborators include Mason McAvoy\, Clark Berman\, Bay Fletcher\, Aviva Bock\, Chris Dahlke\, Luther Case\, Brannon Rovins\, Thomas McCloskey\, Jude Walters\, Will Tober\, Chris Kelly Dutile\, Paul Giess\, Jacy Farrow\, and Ryan Donlin.\n\n\n\n\nVelvet Penny Bio:\nVelvet Penny is an art rock group based out of Los Angeles\, spearheaded and fronted by Marlena. The project was first conceived as a solo endeavor\, but upon the release of Marlena’s record\, ‘All the Flowers’ a band formed at the end of 2022 and over the past four years\, has become what it is now\, a power trio sharing music that borrows from folk\, jazz\, and rock to create tapestries of dynamic performances that hold room for dichotomy; raw and refined\, strong and vulnerable. On October 2nd the group is set to release their new 12″ vinyl record\, ‘Carousel Dreams’ \, a shadowy body of work coming out on Psylk Rd. Records. To support the release\, the band is touring this fall from the South through the Midwest and over to the East Coast.\n\n\n\n\nWorld Assembly Body Opera Bio:\nWorld Assembly Body Opera is the theatrically dynamic sonic sketch of a lost moment directed by Mason McAvoy. She is accompanied by Ricki Wiedenhoff\, Koof Ibi\, Timothy Hagen\, Asia Mieleszko\, and Julia Finegan.

SUMMARY:Game Night and Book Signing with Jennifer Shahade
DESCRIPTION:Game Night and Book Signing with Jennifer Shahade | Fri\, Nov. 13\, 2026 | 6 – 8 pm | In-person\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a captivating evening with Philadelphia-based two-time U.S. Women’s Chess Champion and author Jennifer Shahade\, who will host a discussion about art\, chess and gender on Nov 13 from 6 to 8. Attendees will step into the new show\,  Donna Dodson: Match of the Matriarchs\, which centers on a monumental\, interactive chessboard featuring 32 movable chess pieces hand-carved from salvaged wood. The show also includes Hula Chess\, Naked Chess\, and Breast Milk vs. Formula\, pieces by Jennifer and her collaborator Daniel Meirom. Jennifer will guide tours of the works from 6 to 6:30\, followed by a talk on her art\, where you will learn about the Marcel Duchamp chess games that inspired several of the works. Attendees will help Jennifer finish “Not Particularly Beautiful” the interactive chess board which reveals the pervasive misogyny in the game.  \n \nCopies of the book Thinking Sideways: How to Think Like a Chess Player and Win at Life will be available for purchase at the event\, along with plenty of opportunities for conversation and chess. The event will take place from 6 – 8 pm. \n\nAbout Jennifer Shahade\n\n \n\n Jennifer Shahade is a three-time national chess champion\, poker pro and keynote speaker on decision-making. Her books include Chess Bitch\, Chess Queens and her latest\, Thinking Sideways: How to Think Like a Chess Player and Win at Life. She’s co-author of Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess\, and has created art inspired by Duchamp and chess with her collaborator Daniel Meirom\, including Hula Chess\, Naked Chess and Not Particularly Beautiful. \nA two-time Global Poker Award winner and chess Olympic medalist\, Shahade was the first female to win the US Junior Open and holds the Woman Grandmaster title. Her writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, the Financial Times and Time. \nShahade is known for big moves to create more gender equality in chess. As The Telegraph reported in 2023\, “Thanks to the actions of female stars like Jennifer Shahade\, a dark side to the male-dominated-mind sport can no longer be hidden.” \n  \n\nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it.
