His photographs are held in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House\, South Street Seaport Museum\, and Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. \nHe has received numerous grants and fellowships\, including a National Endowment for the Humanities award for his research on photography’s influence on 19th-century impressionism. \nNager continues to photograph\, write\, and teach between Connecticut and New York City.

SUMMARY:StartUp Westport 2025 Innovator of the Year: Mark Shapiro & 2025 Community Impact Innovator Award: Sweet P Bakery
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nEvery year\, Startup Westport gathers for one of its most meaningful traditions: the Innovator of the Year Awards. It’s our moment to honor Westport’s own — leaders who live and breathe the spirit of entrepreneurship — the risk-takers\, the builders\, the visionaries who transform industries and the changemakers who strengthen our community. \nOn October 8\, Startup Westport will honor two extraordinary Westport-based leaders who embody that spirit in very different ways: Mark Shapiro as its 2025 Innovator of the Year and Sweet P Bakery as the recipient of its 2025 Community Impact Innovator Award. \nAt the event\, Mark will sit down with CNBC anchor Sara Eisen for a fireside chat\, “Pivotal Moments: The Risks That Paid Off (and the Ones That Didn’t).” In this candid conversation\, Mark will share the decisions that shaped his career and the lessons that continue to guide him today. \nWhy You Should Come / What to Expect on October 8: \n\nThe official recognition of Startup Westport’s 2025 award honorees.\nBig ideas and never-before-told stories from the front lines of leadership.\nA spotlight on innovators shaping culture — on the global stage and right here at home.\nA room full of founders\, funders\, and community builders who believe in bold ideas.\nComplimentary treats from Sweet P Bakery\n\nCheck out the StartUp Westport website for the full event details and agenda. \nAbout Mark Shapiro \nSome leaders follow the playbook. Mark Shapiro rewrites it. If you’ve ever watched a UFC fight\, followed WWE\, or noticed how WME has become one of the most influential agencies in the world\, you’ve seen Shapiro’s fingerprints. \nAs president & COO of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO) and president & managing partner of WME Group\, Mark has had a hand in shaping some of the most influential names in sports and entertainment. His career has been defined by bold calls — bets that others might not have made — that changed the trajectory of companies\, industries\, and even culture itself. \nStartUp Westport selected Mark as this year’s Innovator of the Year because he represents the kind of leadership that defines entrepreneurship at its best: courageous\, inventive\, and unafraid to fail forward. \nAbout Sweet P Bakery  \nIf Mark’s story is about reshaping industries\, Sweet P Bakery is about reshaping community. Founded by Andrea and Bill Pecoriello\, Sweet P started with a simple but powerful idea: create a bakery that provides inclusive hiring opportunities. The result? A thriving business that proves you can lead with heart\, grow with purpose\, and still make amazing cookies in town (and at Yankee Stadium!). \nStartUp Westport is honoring Sweet P because they remind us that innovation isn’t only measured in scale — it’s also measured in impact. Their work shows that business can be a force for dignity\, inclusion\, and joy. \n\nEntrepreneurship\nIndustry Resources

SUMMARY:Common Ground Initiative: 'Somebody Should Do Something' With Michael Brownstein\, Alex Madva\, and Daniel Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Changing the world is difficult — but attainable through the choices we make every day. Join Michael Brownstein\, Alex Madva\, and Daniel Kelly\, the authors of Somebody Should Do Something\, as they paint a picture of how social change happens\, one choice at a time. Alongside moderator Sharon Suchotliff\, principal at ZS Consultants and a member of the Library’s Common Ground Initiative\, this panel will delve into a novel and scientific approach to creating transformative social change — and the surprising ways that each of us can help make a real difference. \nCopies of Somebody Should Do Something will be available for purchase at this event. \nCrucial issues like climate change\, racism\, and poverty\, are structural. They emerge from our collective practices: laws\, economies\, history\, culture\, norms\, and built environments. The dilemma is that there is no way to make structural change without individual people making different — more structure-facing — decisions. In Somebody Should Do Something\, Michael Brownstein\, Alex Madva\, and Daniel Kelly show us how we can connect our personal choices to structural change and why individual choices matter\, though not in the way people usually think. Taking inspiration from the writer Bill McKibben\, they stress how one “important thing an individual can do is be somewhat less of an individual.” \nOrganized into three main sections\, the book first diagnoses the problem of “either/or” thinking about social change\, which stems from the false choice of making better personal choices or changing the system. The narrative then offers a different way to think about social change\, anchored in a new picture of human nature emerging across the social sciences. Finally\, the authors explore ways of putting this picture into practice. Neither a how-to manual nor an activist’s guide\, Somebody Should Do Something pairs stories and science (plus some jokes) to help readers recognize their own power\, turning resignation about climate change and racial injustice into actions that transform the world. \nMichael Brownstein is professor and chair of philosophy at John Jay College and professor of philosophy at The Graduate Center\, CUNY. He is the author of The Implicit Mind. \nAlex Madva is professor of philosophy\, director of the California Center for Ethics and Policy\, and co-director of the Digital Humanities Consortium at Cal Poly Pomona. He is a co-editor of An Introduction to Implicit Bias and The Movement for Black Lives. \nDaniel Kelly is professor of philosophy at Purdue University. He is the author of Yuck! The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust (MIT Press). \nThe Common Ground Initiative is The Westport Library’s forum for public discourse on topical issues of importance to the community.  The goals of the Initiative are to: host a positive\, productive conversation on how we work together to move forward as a civil society; encourage respectful\, constructive dialogue; and build capacity to tackle challenging and/or controversial issues. \n \nStop Racial Injustice \nClimate Change

SUMMARY:Cosmic Jibaros - Free Concert
DESCRIPTION:Levitt Pavilion presents Cosmic Jibaros :: Free of charge \nLegendary for their high energy shows\, Cosmic Jibaros mix Rock with Puerto Rican Roots and Caribbean Rhythms for a fabulous dance party and magnetic global sound. The songs are infused with the pulse of congas\, timbales\, and effects-laden guitar work and layered with vocals by Rick Reyes. \nThe Cosmic Jibaros’ name reflects the blending flavors of the music they make.  In Puerto Rico\, ‘los jibaros’ would be something akin to the American ‘hillbillies’ or ‘mountain men’ – historically known for a more simple and honest connection to the earth and the hard work of living\, and with a musical tradition to reflect that.   The ‘cosmic’ part puts a modern twist on the old traditions\, taking cues from a cross-section of world music and creating an original\, Latin progressive sound. \nAs their bandleader Rick Reyes points out\, “Latinos today cross all cultural boundaries. They carry with them the history and the culture of where their parents came from but at the same time have an open mind to what is happening now\,” he says.  “You can’t be a part of this world without being influenced by it as you go.  Our music is very much a product of the evolution of Latinos in the United States.” The Cosmic Jibaros reflect that and their first album\, Yo Soy Del Mundo (I Am Of The World) tells that story.
