Upcoming lineup for Thursday, August 21:

Third Thursdays with WEG: Backdrop for Performance
Doors open at 6 p.m., with a one-hour fireside chat beginning at 6:30 p.m. White Elephant Group (WEG) and guest panelists will discuss Backdrop for Performance, focusing on the art of artificiality and stagecraft in filmmaking. Production designers, set dressers, cinematographers and VFX artists will share how they build cinematic worlds from the ground up. WEG is a South Florida-based collective of over 20 award-winning film and digital media artists whose work spans cinema, XR and mixed media, centering voices from minority and underserved communities.

Art After Hours | DIY Zine Night
From 6:30 to 8 p.m., participants can create their own mini-mag in a hands-on workshop inspired by Charles Atlas: Hail the New Puritan. The session channels the DIY energy of 1980s punk, post-punk and underground subcultures, providing all materials for cut-and-paste zine-making as a form of radical self-expression.

Third Thursdays | Punk Nite
From 6 to 9 p.m., enjoy complimentary cocktails, music, photo ops, temporary tattoos and a timed screening of Hail the New Puritan, with awards for Best Dressed punk attire. Atlas’s 1985–86 mockumentary follows choreographer Michael Clark, blending ballet with punk, post-punk and queer subcultures, and soundtracked by experimental band The Fall. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Ages 21+.
