The Local Service Initiative

Saturday, November 22, 7 pm 

Downtown Artist Cellar is pleased to present an evening of improvised music and visual art with The Local Service Initiative, an improvising sextet from Potsdam.

The Local Service Initiative explores the intersections of sound, place, and community, bringing inventive and boundary pushing performances to regions often outside the reach of contemporary experimental music. Each performance is created in the moment, blending dual saxophones, piano, guitar, electronics, voice, and unexpected elements into an immersive and evolving sound environment.

Join us for an evening of surprises, improvised music, and visual art featuring guest musicians from the Malone music community and a video installation by Echo.

Poetry @ DAC

Poetry @ DAC is an ongoing series hosted by poet jim bourey, featuring invited readers and an open mic for local voices. We are honored to welcome Steven F. White and Bobbie Dumas Panek, both celebrating the launch of their new books.

Steven F. White will read from Microcosms: A Homage to Sacred Plants of the Americas, a collaborative work rooted in decades of research, translation, ecological study, and spiritual inquiry across the Americas. White is the co-editor of the Ayahuasca Reader and has served as a Lannan Foundation resident and Fulbright scholar. His work integrates literature, ethnobotany, and cultural memory.

Bobbie Dumas Panek, poet and prose writer from the Finger Lakes region, will share from her newest collection, An Apple Is Just a Bird With No Beak. Panek’s writing is grounded in the landscapes of daily life, family, memory, and the restorative rhythm of nature.

Open mic to follow.
