Amethyst Gate Literary Arts Series presents featured Artists:

JASON MITCHELL is a poet living in Philadelphia. He is the author of Solar Flâneur (Asterion Projects, 2022) and recently completed editing The Collected Poems of George Stanley, forthcoming in Fall 2026 from The Center for Poetry & Poetics. Since 2013, he has organized and hosted the poetry reading series Frank O’Hara’s Last Lover. With Ryan Dobran, he co-founded and runs the small press Eternal Sections.

DEEPAK KUMAR PAREEK is a light classical singer and composer from the state of Rajasthan, India. His music covers a wide spectrum of styles: ghazals (romantic poetry), bhajans (devotional songs), kirtan, and classic film songs. Deepak first studied with his father, Shri P.N. Vyas, and later with Ustad R.F. Dagar, Ustad Moinuddin Khan and Shri Mohinderjit Singh. He has also been studying with Khayal classical singer Mrs. Kankana Banerjee, a disciple of the legendary vocalist Ustad Amir Khan. Deepak is accomplished on several musical instruments, including harmonium, tamboura, guitar, and keyboard. He is co-director of the East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram and is currently studying and performing with world-renowned vocalist Kankana Banerjee,a student of Amir Khan. Ghazals are primarily romantic poetry, celebrating the beauty of love and lovers.

YUAN LIN is a Ph.D. candidate in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices at Pacifica Graduate Institute. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Beijing University of International Studies and an MBA from Fordham University. Before becoming a psychotherapist in 2016, Yuan worked in foreign services, media, and IT sector in China. Inspired by Jung’s personal journey, Yuan took training in analytical psychology, finding that Jungian thoughts not only echo her own cultural roots but also offer deep insights for both modern East and West, where the psyche is often neglected. As a lifelong “interpreter,” Yuan is dedicated to bridging Jungian and ancient Chinese theories through cross-cultural comparative studies for the purpose of soul healing and self-cultivation in a complex world.

THE ELUSIVE MUSIC mixes unorthodox guitar and violin composition, moody inging/growling/screaming, and audience participation with custom-built instruments and visuals. The elusive music’s songs reflect on personal, emotional, and relationship issues, social/philosophical/political topics, and incorporate themes and language from nature, science, and technology. The Elusive Music has performed at The Fire, The Nail, Milkboy South Street, The Pouch, West Philly, and Roxyunk Porchfests, and at over 200 open mics in over a dozen Philadelphia venues since 2021.

Dream Here Now! is an attempt to navigate the collective subconscious through a prompt of interactive art installation and immersive experience. It models itself on studies that were groundbreaking for counterculture movements of the past century, explored by Richard Alpert, Marie Laurencin, Amiri Baraka, Anne Waldman, and Ken Kesey. First showcased in April 2025, it has toured around the country gathering dreams and focusing the light. This fresh invocation in the series will feature guided meditations in the form of live music and performance conducive to encourage the audience to activate their imagination. Together, we will identify common dreams among our generation and how to proceed to achieve them together.

If you’re unable to attend in person, please still feel invited to join us in the dreamtime. All it takes is closing your eyes and counting 1, 2, 3 to find us in the night and focus your light.
Excited to connect with you all!

Monday night at Space 1026! Bill Daniel “Tri-X-Noise” – One night photo show with live music performed by the Baltimore String Felons!

poster for web

Hobo filmmaker, phototramp Bill Daniel is back on the road with a pop-up photo show comprised of 30 years of 35mm photographs beginning with the early 80s punk scene in Texas, featuring all of your favorite old school punk bands. Daniel has continued to document various sub cultures using the same camera/lens/flash and Kodak Tri-X film for over 30 years. This exhibit, all non-digital darkroom prints, charts a path starting with punk shows in Austin and crawls through various subcultures, from the 90s graffiti scene in San Francisco, freight hopping scenarios, art openings in Los Angeles, house shows in Louisiana, generator shows on the Monongahela River, etc… all seen through Daniel’s signature spelunker style flash-lit vision.

“The Baltimore String Felons. Fantastic timelessly weird old American folk music with a punk edge…”
