&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Josh Niccolai-Belfi&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Josh Niccolai-Belfi is a Dallas-based painter and sculptor native to the Bishop Arts district of Oak Cliff. He is a Fine Art Conservator and an experienced metal fabricator, welder, and wood worker, working with Dallas-based Van Enter Studio. His early art education included W.E. Greiner, Booker T. Washington HS PVA, and scholarships with the Meadows Museum at SMU. With a studio in the vibrant Tin District area of West Dallas, he maintains a prolific and diverse body of work. Currently, his work is on exhibit at "Texas Sculpts" at the Art Centre of Plano. His work explores sweeping vistas of color and texture that prohibit the eye to remain stationary with encroaching fields of pigment, interrupted peaks and crevasses, a landscape of the imagination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://lakewood.bubblelife.com/viewimage/key/3561120652/carolina_imperial_offering_flowers_2025_smaller_size.jpg?w=512&amp;h=384"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://lakewood.bubblelife.com/viewimage/key/3561120691/ricardo_sitting_with_fire_2025_smaller_size.jpg?w=512&amp;h=384"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://lakewood.bubblelife.com/viewimage/key/3561120602/catrina_blue_-_10-18-2025_smaller_size.jpg?w=512&amp;h=384"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://lakewood.bubblelife.com/viewimage/key/3561120624/hallway_with_art_2024.jpg?w=512&amp;h=384"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://lakewood.bubblelife.com/viewimage/key/3561120680/folklorico_dancers_with_catrina_2022.jpg?w=512&amp;h=384"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><link>https://lakewood.bubblelife.com/community/lakewood_calendar/library/3560794/key/3511033420/1122026_830_AM_CST_Online_Car_Auction_-_America_Can_Cars_for_Kids</link><author>Every Car Can Charity</author><title>11/2/2026 8:30 AM (CST) Online Car Auction - America Can Cars for Kids</title><description>&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**ONLINE ONLY**&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The classical pianist is Christian. The jazz bassist is Muslim. When Bilal is accused of being a terrorist and jailed awaiting trial, Eric tries to stay connected by pushing aside his own classical aspirations in order to learn big brother's jazz style. Separated by prison bars and religious convictions, the brothers scat and be-bop through their shared language of music. As his brother's trial progresses, Eric becomes disillusioned and struggles to decide if he believes the charges levied against his beloved older brother, or if false accusations make him a beleaguered martyr to a prejudiced, paranoid nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
