🎙️ NEW EPISODE + TONIGHT'S SHOW 🎷 Before he takes the stage in Gainey Hall tonight, NEA Jazz Master Jason Marsalis sat down with Art Farm Music Council chair Gary Cassis for a conversation about growing up the youngest of six brothers in New Orleans' Marsalis family, trading his violin for drumsticks and then vibes, and why history should be "a flashlight into the unknown." He also tells us why he loves playing vibes behind vocalist Vanisha Gould, whose storytelling voice has been compared to somewhere between Billie Holiday and Joni Mitchell. His advice for anyone new to jazz? "Just enjoy it." 🎧 Listen now: link in story

As we count down the final hours to Casino Royale: The Soirée, we want to pause and say thank you — because none of this happens without an incredible community behind it. To our generous SPONSORS — thank you for believing in Art Farm at Serenbe's mission and helping bring this evening to life. Your support fuels creativity across film, music, dance, theater, and the environment for years to come. 🃏 To our dedicated BOARD MEMBERS — thank you for your vision and steady leadership in guiding Art Farm forward. And to our tireless SOIRÉE COMMITTEE — thank you for months of planning, brainstorming, and hard work behind the scenes.

Meet Bobby Sanabria: a seven-time Grammy nominee who's performed and recorded with legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, and Mongo Santamaria. Beyond the bandstand, he co-led the fight to reinstate the Latin Jazz Grammy category after it was eliminated in 2010, and today he directs the Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra at Manhattan School of Music — carrying this tradition forward for the next generation. Catch him live with Sexteto Ibiano on September 19 for "Mambo, Latin Jazz & Beyond" at Art Farm at Serenbe. 🎟️ Tickets in bio | $65–$200 #BobbySanabria #GrammyNominee #LatinJazz #AfroCubanJazz #ArtFarmAtSerenbe

Where land becomes canvas. 🌿 Tucked into the natural landscape of Serenbe, Deer Hollow Art Park is a 10-acre home for large-scale sculpture, site-specific installations, and rotating exhibits — where serious art meets open sky, and music, dance, and youth programming find a permanent stage. Every piece here starts the same way: with someone who believed it was worth building. This year, that belief takes the form of a paddle raise — and it happens live at the Soirée. Every paddle raised on September 26 goes directly toward acquiring, fabricating, and installing the park's next works. Not just a sculpture — a permanent piece of Serenbe's story, visible and visited for generations. Swipe through to see what's already standing in Deer Hollow, and what your paddle could help bring to life next. Tickets to the Soirée are open now. Link in bio to grab yours and be in the room when we raise the next work into being. #ArtFarmAtSerenbe #DeerHollowArtPark #TheSoirée #Serenbe #PublicArt #SupportTheArts

Join us Friday, September 11 at 7:30 PM for an unforgettable performance by Giwayen Mata — the award-winning, dynamic, soul-stirring, all-sistah dance, percussion, and vocal ensemble. In the Hausa language of Nigeria, Giwayen Mata means "elephant women," a name given to the leaders of women's organizations there. Like elephants, they're a multi-generational herd — nurturing one another, leading one another, and carrying their culture forward with dignity and grace. Grounded in the movements, rhythms, and songs of the African Diaspora, their performances reflect, celebrate, and unlock the hidden treasures of Black womanhood. With feet on the sacred grounds of our Indigenous American ancestors and the birth lands of their African foremothers and forefathers, they stand tall in honor of the beautiful tapestry of life that shapes who they are.
