The Hogfish Season Kick-Off Concert in the Rose Garden. A once-a-year invitation for the public to experience the spiritual home of Hogfish's regenerative artist residency in the internationally recognized rose garden of historic Beckett Castle on the rocky cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean. Every year is different, with the roses at peak bloom, floral installations, and artists from Maine and around the world. Hogfish heals the division of our times by cultivating a new genre of Regenerative Arts - stories and artistic experiences that help us remember our connection to each other and the earth. To do so, we have created a 501(c)(3) non-profit production company and residency that works both from the top-down and bottom-up. From the top-down, the production company adapts classics and creates new works that center traditionally under-represented voices. From the bottom-up, the residency supports artists-in-residence to create Regenerative Arts projects from their own perspectives.

New Haven Museum: "It's Pronounced Ah-beetz" Exhibition Opening

Oct 9, 2025 - Oct 31, 2027 New Haven Museum 114 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06510

The New Haven Museum (NHM) will open a new free-admission exhibit titled “Pronounced Ah-Beetz”, exploring the history, culture, and legacy of New Haven-style apizza.

The exhibit traces pizza’s origins from Italy’s working-class food to its rise in New Haven, highlighting the city’s “Big 3” iconic pizzerias — Frank Pepe’s Pizzeria Napoletana, Sally’s Apizza, and Modern Apizza — and how they became national favorites. It will also showcase other local pizzerias such as Ernie’s, Zuppardi’s, BAR, Zeneli’s, Olde World, and the Big Green Pizza Truck, portraying the deep ties between family, food, and community.

Co-curated by Jason Bischoff-Wurstle (NHM), and Gorman Bechard, Dean Falcone, and Colin M. Caplan — the team behind the documentary “Pizza, A Love Story” — the exhibit features:

  • Artifacts, oral histories, and memorabilia from local collections.
  • Video footage from the documentary.
  • Replicas of the “Big 3” pizzerias, complete with a realistic brick oven.
  • Short histories of Foxon Park Soda and locally served beers

The idea originated in 2009 during the making of the documentary, with Caplan recognized as the main historian of New Haven pizza. Recently, following a trip to Washington, D.C., where Representative Rosa DeLauro declared New Haven the “Pizza Capital of the U.S.”, the curators expanded the project with new materials.

The exhibit’s title, “Pronounced Ah-Beetz,” reflects the authentic New Haven pronunciation of apizza (from Italian la pizza). It will be on display through October 2027.

Chinese American Bear is a lighthearted and quirky Mandopop duo from Seattle, Washington, creating fun and eclectic bilingual English/Chinese ear candy. Comprised of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, the married couple creates groovy, “not-too-serious, food-loving” tunes together in their home studio. Their sound—somewhere between the Flaming Lips, the B-52s, MGMT, and a hypercolor cartoon—has earned tens of millions of streams and global acclaim. They’ve been featured in Vogue+, Paste, and Under the Radar; celebrated by BBC Radio and KEXP (#1 album); and spotlighted across major Spotify playlists, including All New Indie, Indie’s Top 50, Fresh Finds (#1 cover track), Bedroom Pop, Chill Vibes, and more. They toured internationally following the release of their second album, Wah!!!, including 15 cities in China, multiple trips to the UK, dozens of festivals, and support slots for pop star and internet phenomenons Poppy and Greer. Their music has been featured in the film The Wedding Banquet, the Apple TV+ series Platonic, Electronic Arts’s Skate video game, an Apple commercial, and more. Their newest 12-track album, Dim Sum & Then Sum, will be released in May 2026 via Moshi Moshi Records. The band plans to tour extensively across the USA, Europe, and Asia afterward.
