The Weeks Gallery hosts five published JCC poets and educators. Neil Flory, Justin March, Christopher Munde, Nicholas Smith, and Karen Weyant will take turns reading original works. The JCC Art Faculty Exhibition will be on view during the event, which is free to attend and open to the public. 

The Cattaraugus County Campus Art Club and Success Center is ready to help you create a vision board for the spring semester. All supplies are provided.

A vision board is a collage of images, words, and quotes that visually represent a person's goals, dreams, and aspirations, acting as a tool to motivate them to achieve their desired life by regularly visualizing their future through this visual representation.

Enjoy the sounds of our Music Department ensembles as they perform selections in a variety of styles. 

Join this virtuosic Vermont-based Peregrine Road as they visit JCC for uniquely engaging presentations and performances centered on music from the Celtic, French, and English country dance traditions — everything from lively reels to Parisian café tunes and energetic waltzes. The performances will be educational as well as musical, including commentary from the performers on many aspects of the music and its background.

See the JCC Uncommoners spin on Young Jean Lee's 2010 absurdist tragedy about familial piety, despair, and the end of life. The production is a collision among Shakespeare's King Lear, Sesame Street, and Lee's take on the theme of dealing with a father's mortality.

Six showings are scheduled for 7 p.m. at Scharmann Theatre on March 27, 28, and 29, and on April 3, 4, and 5.
