Windsor’s “Art in the Park” is back again this Saturday and Sunday and preparations are ongoing at Willistead Manor.

The popular event last year saw 30,000 patrons over two days.

This is the 43rd year the Rotary Club of Windsor 1918 have hosted the event.

Hundreds of local artists and food vendors are on tap — plus live music and a kids zone.

Proceeds will support Willistead Manor and the Rotary Club’s global humanitarian initiatives, such as proving clean drinking water in developing nations.

Allan Kidd of the Rotary Club 1918 is excited about the upcoming event – and what it will mean in terms of helping those in need here at home and around the world.

“People don’t recognize that this art festival is all about raising money for charity. So the people that come here – this is kind of our gift to our community,” he said. “People come and enjoy themselves but that money that they pay to come in here is used to feed hungry people, to buy wheelchairs, to buy books, and build schools and drill wells.”

Jeffrey Brown:

It’s a field it’s been growing in recent decades.

The new book pulls together research and practice. And Magsamen offered us a day’s tour of ongoing examples at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she directs the International Arts and Mind Lab.

Enter the Bee Gees or, rather, Dr. Alexander Pantelyat, a neurologist and himself a violinist who’s studying the potential for improving memory loss experienced by Alzheimer’s patients and others.

Dr. Alexander Pantelyat, Co-Founder and Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Music & Medicine: And we know that music impacts multiple networks in the brain simultaneously. Simply listening to a song can activate much of the brain at once.

And so therein lies the challenge of studying these different patterns of activation and trying to separate them. Therein also lies the promise of what music can do for people with different conditions and just for healthy aging more generally.

Daniel Elie Bouaziz, 69, was sentenced in Fort Pierce federal court, according to court records. He pleaded guilty in February to a single count of money laundering, while prosecutors agreed to drop 16 other counts related to fraud and embezzlement. Bouaziz was fined $15,000, and a restitution hearing is scheduled for Aug. 16.

Prosecutors said Bouaziz, the owner of Danieli Fine Art and Galerie Danieli in Palm Beach County, sold counterfeit artworks to a customer in October 2021 including pieces purportedly by Warhol.

Bouaziz told the customer that the pieces, which he was selling for between $75,000 and $240,000, were authentic originals and that some were signed by the artist, investigators said.

Officials said the customer gave Bouaziz a $200,000 down payment that was deposited into Bouaziz’s account, and then the comingled funds were wired to other accounts.

Warhol was an American visual artist and filmmaker most associated with the pop art movement of the 1960s.
