Galeria The Art Venue & Framing Galeria West

The 2-time Latin Grammy nominated Julio Botti Jazz Quartet will perform in concert on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 7:30 pm at the popular Latin Jazz @ Galeria music concert series. TEATRO Sí presents this live music concert event at the wonderfully intimate GALERIA The Art Venue, located at 111 Quimby Street in downtown Westfield, NJ. Come to experience the acclaimed Latin Jazz and Tango fusion compositions and more by saxophonist Julio Botti and his talented musicians in concert.
Julio Botti is an acclaimed artist, composer and saxophonist. Botti started his music career at age 8, in Cordoba, Argentina where his mother gifted him his fi­rst saxophone. Since then, he has scoured the world to re­fine his skills and discover new and exciting sounds. From nightclubs in Havana to the popular cave venues of Madrid, from befriending Buddy Miles to collaborating with acclaimed artist Maestro Pablo Ziegler, Botti’s life has been a whirlwind journey, spanning almost 30 years over 3 continents, all in the pursuit to develop and perfect a progressive form of Jazz Tango. 
Two of his music albums received Latin Grammy nominations including; Tango Nostalgias,
nominated for Best Tango Album at the 14th Annual Latin Grammy Awards (2013) and Sax to Tango, nominated for Best Tango Album at the 17th Annual Latin Grammy Awards (2016). 
Julio’s two recent album recordings include; Jazz Tango Fusion (2019) with Julio Botti and his quartet breaking new ground in this ambitious musical journey. Blending masterpieces from Astor Piazzolla and Pablo Ziegler the album is an edgy and colorful reimagining of Modern Tango, with equal parts of modern Jazz. 
The Pure Tango album (2020) is a blend between the vivid colors that traditional tango offers, with its traditional instrumentation fused by the compelling sound of Botti’s saxophone. This album balances fresh and modern without losing the vintage sound of the old guard of tango rhythms, arrangements, and repertoire. The most recent single composition, El Tio is also offered in concert by this wonderful group of musicians for their supportive listeners.
Performing with Julio Botti, the quartet includes talented music artists; special guest guitarist Carlos Chong, keyboardist Eduardo Withrington, and Sebastian Duque on drums. 
Refreshments will be available for your enjoyment. Also enjoy the current fine art exhibitions at the unique GALERIA The Art Venue gallery, including fine art creations by several international and local artists. We recommend enjoying a fine meal or dessert at one of various fine restaurants in downtown Westfield before or after the show. 
Tickets are priced at $30 (+ online ticket service fee). Purchase advance tickets online at:

Patricia M Kuran Cultural Arts Center

To celebrate Halloween, nonprofit Jersey Central Theatre Company will be performing a staged reading of a new play, featuring some New Jersey lore, on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25th, 3:00 PM, at the Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center (The Carriage House) next to Fanwood Borough Hall.
“JANE, JOSEPH, AND THE JERSEY DEVIL” by Connor McKenna. Deep in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey reportedly lives a beast so horrible, so monstrous, its very name strikes fear into the hearts of those who have seen or heard of it. In 1820, “Piney” Jane is desperate to unravel the mysteries of the Jersey Devil. Who joins her search but the exiled king of Spain (and older brother to Napoleon), Joseph Bonaparte. Will they find the beast? Will they survive?
The cast will feature members of Actors’ Equity Association, the professional actors’ union.
Connor McKenna is a playwright, dramaturg, and musical book writer. He is a graduate of NYU Tisch with a BFA in dramatic writing and double major in linguistics. He has written six full-length plays and several shorter one-acts. His work has been performed with the Young Americans Theatre Company, Imaginarium NY, and Little &amp; Fierce Theatre Company.
Doors will open at 2:30 PM. Suggested cash contribution is $10.00 per person. No reservations; limited open seating.
The Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center is located next to Borough Hall at 135 Watson Rd. (off Martine Ave.), Fanwood, NJ, just one block north of the historic Fanwood Train Station on NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley Line.
In partnership with the Fanwood Cultural Arts Commission. For further information, or to be added to their email list, visit Jersey Central Theatre Company at <a href="https://www.jerseycentraltheatre.com." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">jerseycentraltheatre.com.</a>
This program is made possible in part by a 2026 HEART (History, Education, Arts Reaching Thousands) Grant from the Union County Board of County Commissioners.

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Permit &amp; Parcel</a>, covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and brings together records from official sources, including state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns&rsquo; own municipal codes. No account or email is required, and there&rsquo;s no cost.
&ldquo;I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands,&rdquo; said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. &ldquo;All of that is public record. It just wasn&rsquo;t in one place anyone could actually use.&rdquo;
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/lead-safe/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">lead-safe inspection lookup</a> showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey&rsquo;s lead paint law, a searchable <a href="https://oprasearch.app/lead-contractors/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">directory of DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractors</a> sorted by distance, a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/fire/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">fire-incident map</a> built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/radon/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">radon map</a> covering every municipality.
Homeowners can also <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/tax/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">look up property taxes and assessments</a>, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/hvac-age/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">check the age of a furnace, air conditioner or water heater</a> using its serial number, and <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/co/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">find their town&rsquo;s certificate-of-occupancy requirements</a> before selling or renting a home.
A companion site, <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA&rsquo;s own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site&rsquo;s own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
As an added benefit for homebuyers, Permit &amp; Parcel users can receive $100 off a qualifying home inspection with Smart Choice Inspections, Betancor&rsquo;s North Jersey home inspection company.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">TAPinto.</a>&nbsp;Both sites are FREE at <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">oprasearch.app</a> and <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>.
