Nearby: Frewsburg, NYPlaying high-level college basketball has always been a dream for Jadyn Trocki. When the closest Division I program to her Frewsburg home came calling a couple of years ago, it felt like the perfect situation. The Bears senior guard completed her celebratory signing letter Thursday afternoon to attend St. Bonaventure University and play basketball for the Bonnies beginning next fall. “Division I has always been the dream, but some DIIs were also in the equation as well,” Trocki said Wednesday afternoon. “I wasn’t always set on DI. I was always going to choose where I fit best.” Trocki has put together the best individual career in Frewsburg history and with it the Bears have also experienced high levels of success as a team. She is already Frewsburg’s all-time leading scorer with 1,796 points and has been named the New York State Sportswriters Association’s Class C Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons.
New York Observer · Boston, NY
Nearby: Boston, NYAfter taking 2025 off, the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) has returned to the Park Avenue Armory with a new name and revised format for its longstanding signature fair. Opening this evening in preview, ADAA Fair runs November 13-16 with 63 participating galleries spanning historical, modern and contemporary art. That’s 12 fewer than in 2024, and that’s not the only change. This year’s event has put a notably greater emphasis on presentations by regional American galleries and newer ADAA members, with exhibitors from Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Miami, Dallas and elsewhere. “The American gallery landscape extends well beyond New York and Los Angeles,” executive director Kinsey Robb told Observer earlier this week. “Across the country, exceptional dealers are building ambitious programs, supporting artists, developing collectors and contributing significantly to their cultural communities.” The fair’s philanthropic priorities have also changed.
