The Village Voice

For years, the sports betting industry has been dominated by self-proclaimed experts, flashy marketing campaigns, and handicappers who disappear the moment adversity strikes. Yet one name has continued to rise above the noise and establish itself as a true powerhouse in the betting world: Jeremiah Whyre, better known as Jeremiah The Tycoon. What began as a vision has evolved into one of the fastest-growing sports betting communities in the industry.

In Janakpur, a city in Nepal’s Madhesh region, a centuries-old painting tradition has survived on the walls of homes, in wedding chambers, and across festival spaces. Known as Mithila art, it carries the mythology, ritual life, and ecological symbolism of the Maithil people, who live across the border regions of Nepal and India.

On April 10, the Carrousel du Louvre opened its doors to the 37th edition of Art Shopping Paris, one of the French capital’s longest-running international contemporary art salons. Among the more than 150 artists and galleries from over 50 countries was a 60-by-60-centimeter digital print titled Joy — a work whose origins lie not in a painter’s studio, but in academic research into how human beings experience emotion.

CGI artist Omar Hesham is well-versed in success across multiple animation industries, taking on various roles. His main priority is helping clients succeed, and his second focus is on sharing his knowledge and teaching others within the digital art space. His VFX artwork has been featured in several popular, top-box-office hits.

Yes, Governors Island has become kind of corporatized. It’s not the surprise discovery it started out as, sprung back to life in 2008 by art pioneers 4Heads, who brought artists to the island to show in abandoned 19th-century military barracks. And yes, nowadays there’s glamping. But there is still art to be seen and music to be heard, along with the upsides of gentrification, like margaritas and tacos at sunset.

Adapt or die. That’s been the motto of the hit AMC show Interview with the Vampire since its first season changed the landscape of the Anne Rice universe back in 2022. Now, with the upcoming third season in sight, that mantra rings truer than ever before. Taking inspiration from the renowned gothic fiction author’s source material, the latest iteration of showrunner Rolin Jones’s vision signals a changing of the guard.

You might feel like screaming as we approach America’s 250th birthday, but maybe try singing instead, or at least in addition to that primal yelp. On June 14, the Committee for the First Amendment will host “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment” at NYC’s Town Hall, in partnership with the Indivisible and No Kings coalitions.

Over the past month, the Pentagon has released two tranches of files concerning “unidentified anomalous phenomenon” (formerly, UFOs — “unidentified flying objects”). The document dumps were, in large part, videos accompanied by little to no context, save minimal geographical notations, featuring luminous objects flitting about variously sized screens more often than not obscured by multiple black-box redactions.

In a city captivated by the next new thing, true landmarks have become increasingly rare. Rarer still are those entrusted to someone who understands their value. For more than a century, Capitale has stood among New York’s most remarkable architectural treasures. Housed within the former Bowery Savings Bank, the 1893 Beaux-Arts masterpiece designed by Stanford White remains one of the country’s most spectacular event venues.

The actress is building her career around strong writing, difficult roles, and the belief that discernment matters as much as ambition. A lot of actors are told the same thing when they are starting out. Keep saying yes. Stay open. Stay in motion. Do not get too selective too early. She does not believe every opportunity deserves her attention. She does not believe every script deserves an audition. She does not believe staying busy is the same thing as building something worthwhile.
