Here’s What’s Happening (in order of appearance):

Boycott Target / Community Board Applications Accepted Through February 27  /  Ceres Gallery Exhibitions / 

Boycott Target: Wednesday, February 11, 5pm to 6pm in front of the Target store at West 23rd Street & Eighth Ave, | When Minnesotans asked for a day of action on February 11, recently formed group Chelsea Neighbors United (aka CNU; learn about them by clicking here) heeded the call–by calling on their friends and, well, neighbors to join them at this “Boycott Target” action, taking place outside the Chelsea location of the plenty problematic retailer. “Target,” notes CNU, “dropped DEI,  donated $1,000,000 to Trump’s Inauguration, and has refused to join the MN business communityto demand an end to ICE’s occupation.”

Manhattan Community Board Applications Accepted Through February 27 |  Newly installed Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal (MBP) has already embarked upon one of his marquee responsibilities: Appointing new members to Manhattan community boards. “I served on my local community board for over a decade and deeply appreciate the importance they serve to the local planning process, budget priorities, and city services. I hope you’ll consider serving, too,” said the MBP in a January 21 email to constituents. In order to be considered for appointment, a complete application must be submitted online or postmarked by no later than 5pm on Friday, February 27, 2026. Click here to access the application.

Ceres Gallery Presents: Polaroid Revisions, an exhibition of enlarged Polaroid photographs by Liz DeMayo and Welcome to Minako’s World, an exhibition of colorful lithographs by Minako Ito / Both Exhibitions on View Tuesday Through Saturday, 12pm to 6pm Through February 28 at Ceres Gallery (547 West 27th St. Suite 201; btw. 10th/11th Aves.) | Liz DeMayo’s enlarged Polaroid photographs of trees, plants, and aquatic scenes began as small images taken with a Polaroid, or transferred onto Polaroid film from a phone camera. Polaroid Revisions, the curators tell us, “includes three groupings of photographs enlarged onto paper, and two sets of canvases with the images enlarged to 30 inches.”

Welcome to Minako’s World includes 21 lithographs and one monotype whose NYC- and Tokyo-based “private rooms and urban places” rarely depict a human figure–”yet the human touch is evident everywhere.”
