SUMMARY:Tony Foster\, Exploring Time: A Painter’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Tony Foster\, Exploring Time: A Painter’s Perspective\nFebruary 21–May 17\, 2026\, Gallery 120 \nBetween 2007 and 2025\, Tony Foster embarked on his 19th Journey\, building it around a profound and layered theme: time. Across this body of work\, he investigates how time shapes the land—from the quick shifts of light and weather\, to the slow rhythms of seasons\, to the immense scales of biological and geological transformation. As Foster explains\, his aim is “to draw attention to the unseen forces that create place.” \nExploring Time brings together a remarkable series of watercolor diaries that capture nature in motion. His paintings reveal signs of change on multiple fronts: geological upheavals\, biological cycles and the marks left by human activity. With a discerning eye\, Foster records not only nature’s strength and resilience but also its vulnerability\, even in landscapes once dominated by industry and later reclaimed. \nIn a world where environmental change is often conveyed through striking images of global warming\, Foster offers a different perspective\, one that considers Earth’s continual evolution and the visible traces of time’s passage. Organized into four themes: geological\, biological\, human and the fleeting\, this exhibition invites viewers to engage with time at every scale\, from the span of a moment to the stretch of millennia\, while reflecting on the enduring impact of human presence.

SUMMARY:Classic Albums Live Performs Eagles: Hotel California
DESCRIPTION:We all have our personal image of what the Hotel California looks like. We can see ourselves in the lobby and we know what the staff looks like. We feel the vibe. That’s the secret ingredient in making a classic album – being able to insert yourself into the album. Classic Albums Live invites you to immerse yourself in Eagle’s Hotel California\, from the Grammy-winning “New Kid In Town\,” to the deep cuts like “Wasted Time” and “Pretty Maids All In A Row.” \nNote for note. Cut for cut. That’s what you’ll experience live at the Victoria Theatre with Classic Albums Live concerts. This unique series recreates classic rock albums in their entirety. Not a cover band\, not an impersonation\, these world-class musicians go to great lengths to faithfully create every sound on the original album in a concert setting.
