Paint at the Parrish

“Paint at the Parrish,” a monthly program of gallery discussions and activities tailored to people with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia and their caregivers, will be honored tonight with a benefit sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center from 6 to 8.

The event will include live music by Vanessa Trouble & Co. throughout the evening, a performance by the drumming group Escola de Samba BOOM, hors d’oeuvres, a raw bar, and desserts. Tickets are $250; proceeds will support the ongoing program at the museum, which has served approximately 150 participants since its beginning in March.

Jazz en Plein Air, the museum’s outdoor jazz series organized by Richie Siegler, will feature Nilson Matta, a Brazilian bassist, tomorrow at 6 p.m. Mr. Matta, the artistic and musical director of Samba Meets Jazz, has been instrumental in the evolution and popularity of Brazilian jazz in the United States. Tickets are $10, free for members and students. The museum recommends lawn chairs or blankets.
