3 events,SEVENDUST: For over three decades, Sevendust have made countless fans feel a part of something special. The group’s community isn’t passive. Members of the “7D Army” make a very active commitment to being part of this family—as evinced by sold-out shows worldwide and in numerable tattoos of the band’s logo and lyrics. Since 1994, the iconic Atlanta quintet have quietly built a legacy without parallel, encompassing sales of nearly eight million albums, a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Metal Performance, ”three Top 15 entries on the Billboard 200, hundreds of millions of streams, and the fierce loyalty of millions of listeners in every corner of the globe. Along the way, they’ve shined as an outlier equally comfortable on tracks with either members of Deftones, Creed, and Periphery or Xzibit and Daughtry. Speaking to their longevity, they notably notched their biggest radio success to date with “Everything” in 2024, netting a career-high entry on theBillboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. However, the guys really delivered with2026’s ONE . THEORY OF A DEADMAN: Theory Of A Deadman have blazed their own path as one of the most unapologetic forces in the rock world today with several multi-platinum hits, albums and sold out shows […] |

September's Night at the Museum is one you won't want to miss! On September 17, starting at 6 PM, join us to decorate your very own clay pot using bold shapes and vibrant colors inspired by Picasso! If you'd like to attend, please RSVP to mcdirector@noelartmuseum.org. Night at the Museum is a Members-Only event held every third Thursday of the month, featuring something different each time, from hands-on art activities and gallery experiences to special programs, tours, and more. To become a Member of ENAM, visit noelartmuseum.org. Less than two weeks after the September 11th attacks, New Yorkers are still in shock. One of them, an editor named Joan, receives an unexpected phone call on behalf of Nick, a fire captain who has lost most of his men in the attack. He’s looking for a writer to help him with the eulogies he must present at their memorial services. Nick and Joan spend a long afternoon together, recalling the fallen men through recounting their virtues and their foibles, and fashioning the stories into memorials of words. In the process, Nick and Joan discover the possibilities of friendship in each other and their shared love for the unconquerable spirit of the city. As they make their way through the emotional landscape of grief, they draw on humor, tango, the appreciation of craft in all its forms—and the enduring bonds of common humanity. THE GUYS is based on a true story. |
