Tuesday to Tuesday arts and entertainment calendar

RIFuture is a fine institution that has made important contributions to the Rhode Island news culture. It is our hope that this new feature – the ‘Tuesday to Tuesday Arts and Entertainment Calendar’ will bring a lighter side to the fare. As we begin the autumn, I’m open to tips and press releases regarding the events you or someone you know may be holding in the next few weeks. Feel free to e-mail data to me at andrew.james.stewart.rhode.island@gmail.com.

MY PICKS
Here is my selection of events that you should definitely consider checking out this week.

• 9/15
  Stretch & Strength at AS220 Live Arts Dance Studio, 12-1 pm, $5
  Limber up with the folks at AS220.
• 9/16
  The Work of 19th Century Architect Russell Warren at Linden Place Mansion, 7 pm, $5

• 9/17
  Movies on the Block: THE ROYAL TENNENBAUMS at Grants Block, 7:30 pm, Free
  Released a few months after 9/11, this one has a special place in my heart as my favorite Wes Anderson film and includes hilarious performances by an all-star cast like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelica Huston, Bill Murray, and Gene Hackman, whose performance here is arguably going to be remembered as his best.
• 9/18
  Hispanic Heritage Month Kick-Off Celebration at Providence Children’s Museum, 6 pm, Free
  After a summer loaded with racism due to that idiotic narcissist Donald Trump, the Latino community deserves some celebration.
