ONGOING: Imago Portrait Group
Now on Wednesdays: April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 | 1–4 PM | Donations
Interested in practicing painting and life drawing with a model? Join our weekly drawing group at Imago Gallery, 36 Market Street, Warren, RI, on Wednesdays from 1–4 PM. Artists of all skill levels are welcome. Donations are collected to pay the model and offset any gallery expenses.
All participants must be 18 years of age or older and must bring their own supplies including drawing and painting materials, surfaces and easels. Tables and chairs will be provided. The sessions are structured with one model holding the same pose for the evening for 20-minute intervals with 5 to 10-minute breaks in-between to give everyone the opportunity to develop a portrait over the full three-hour session. To sign up in advance, please email imagogallery@gmail.com or stop in with your own supplies and join the group!
Enigmatica
Sunday, April 6 | 4–6 PM | Imago Gallery | $20
Join us for our April concert in the gallery. Described as sparkling, effervescent, fluid, precise, and joyous, Enigmatica is a New England-based mandolin ensemble directed by Marilynn Mair. Part chamber orchestra and part plucked-string double-quartet, Enigmatica performs a variety of music: Baroque, Brazilian, eclectic contemporary, and Americana music written by group members and friends. The ensemble features instruments of the mandolin family — mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin, and 6- and 7-string guitars.
Tickets will be available at the door or may be purchased in advance on EventBrite. Reserve by email or phone: 401.392.1322.
ONGOING: Imago Film Club
Thursdays: April 10
Imago Gallery | 6:30–8 PM | Free
Join the club for a lively conversation on the art of film, facilitated by Katherine Reaves, filmmaker, videographer and Imago community member. We are a small group of film friends learning together.
Imago Film Club meets the second Thursday of each month, 6:30–8 PM in the gallery. All are welcome.
​
In April, the Film Club explores sound in film, it's history, evolution and production. We don't just watch a film, we listen to it. Every visual moment in film has an integrated sound component that is as important and meaningful as light, shadow, color and all the visual things.

“I Am My Own Wife”
Performance by Ed Shea
Imago Gallery
Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26
Both shows 7 PM | $25
Imago presents Ed Shea performing Doug Wright’s Pulitzer and Tony-award-winning play, “I am My Own Wife,” which depicts the gripping story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a celebrated East German Museum curator and preservationist who survived two of the last century’s most brutal regimes—the Nazis and the Communists—as an openly trans woman.
During his two-act performance, Shea will play 30 different roles as he depicts Mahlsdorf’s story. This tour de force performance is a new, stripped-down revival centered around themes of identity and contemplation. Seating is limited to 60 people for each performance.
