General Assembly at Gallery Particulier

General Assembly at Gallery Particulier Come Tell Us What You Think What do you think of what we do? What should we be doing more of? What are we missing? For our General Assembly, Gallery Particulier is opening its doors to everyone: artists, neighbors, visitors, friends, supporters, and anyone curious about what we’re up to. We want to hear from you: your ideas, experiences, questions, criticisms, and suggestions. This is a chance to help shape where Gallery Particulier goes next. Come share your thoughts, meet other people who care about art and community, and have a say in what we do. And because no good conversation should happen without food and drinks, we’ll have plenty of both. Sunday November 8, 2026 6:00 – 8:30 PM Told in three acts, the work is as hybrid as the performer behind it. Part memoir, part performance, and part recital, this monodrama explores the innate courage found in the full exploration of the self in a world designed to hide it from you. Good Church Boys Do Not Become Artists explores the marriage between words and song, calling up the question: what does it mean for a queer Black American classical singer to not just be an interpreter of music, but a creator of music and worlds, blurring the line between interpreter, creator, librettist, singer and composer into a complete whole? Featuring the music of Roland Hayes, James Dargan, Mary Prescott, Jay St. Flono and Patricia Ellen Turner, Good Church Boys Do Not Become Artists hurls the audience into a defiant act of realization and self-discovery.

WANT TO MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE NEXT EVENT WITH JAY? CHECK OUT THE RESIDENCY SCHEDULE BELOW: June 21st, 2026 at 7:00 pm at Pangea (New York, NY) ABOUT THE PATRICIA ELLEN SINGING ARTIST RESIDENCY: The Patricia Ellen Singing Artist Residency is focused on classically-trained and multi-genre singers (age 25 – 65+) who have not yet landed management and/or major performance contracts as solo artists. Applicants must demonstrate a desire to explore multidisciplinary expressions outside of the mainstream opera/classical music industry. Applicants are encouraged to think outside of the box as they create collaborative performance opportunities for themselves that are actively engaged with their respective communities and seek to break social barriers that impede artists from fully enjoying their careers. This residency is named for Patricia Ellen Moore-Turner, the late mother of Jay Saint Flono. Patricia was a classically-trained singing-artist and actress from Brooklyn, New York and a celebrated member of the National Association of Negro Musicians. Patricia studied Voice under operatic tenor Chauncey Northern at the Northern Vocal Art School (CAMI Hall) and then Musical Theater & Vocal Performance under Charlene Wynkoop-Berry and Richard Harper at SUNY Old Westbury’s School of American Music Dance and Theater. She later specialized in Afro-American Sacred Music as a leading soloist, leading numerous artistic engagements in her community from the classroom to theatrical and site-specific performance spaces.
