Music Performance
Lin Esser
19 Oct. 2025 | 3pm
$10 | RSVP Required
A long-time fixture of New York’s SOHO visual arts scene, Lin Esser currently enjoys exhibitions of his work in some of the area’s most prestigious galleries. While known for his dark and often whimsical three dimensional works, collectors and enthusiasts of Esser’s work may not know that Lin has a parallel career as musician and composer.
Esser is also no stranger to film and theatre and will be participating in the upcoming ‘Modfest’ 2026 at Vassar University as an invited guest artist and collaborating performer. This event features Hudson West’s ‘Rescoring Richter’ series, an ongoing project directed by film maker and documentarian Dave Davidson.
Over the past five years, KinoSaito has hosted several performances of which Esser has played a major role, most recently as cellist and contributing composer in Between Worlds, a Soli Pierce and Bruce Odland multi medium exhibition event earlier this year. Now, Lin once again reaches out to KinoSaito audiences, as cellist and composer.
2025 Fall Film Series
Caballerango
A film by Juan Pablo González
Free | RSVP Required
24 Oct. 2025 | 6pm
Caballerango (2018)
In a small Mexican village in the state of Jalisco, deteriorating economic and social conditions have led to a wave of suicides among its young people. In Caballerango, the incredible new documentary from filmmaker Juan Pablo González, conversations around town return to one subject in particular: the recent suicide of a young horse wrangler named Nando.
A quietly devastating documentary, Caballerango is a portrait of how a rural Mexican town continues life as traditions vanish and new realities are born out of tragedy.
This film series is being presented as part of our current exhibition, The Unknown and Its Poetics, curated by Adrián S. Bará. Special thanks to our sponsor, Let it Shine, for supporting this series of films.

The Art Students League of New York was founded in 1875 by a group of art students who hoped to escape the Academy by founding a member-run art school designed for and run by independent artists. For nearly 150 years, the Art Students League of New York has been a haven for countless artists, who use the freedom it affords them to explore diverse artistic practices, methodologies, and mediums while developing a mastery of traditional techniques.

Open Call
KinoSaito Annual: Community Art Benefit
Submission Deadline: 14 Nov. 2025
KinoSaito is excited to announce our open call for the 2025 KinoSaito Annual: Community Art Benefit! Artists in all stages of their careers from the Hudson Valley and beyond are welcome to submit their works to be included for this special opportunity. This year we are excited to announce we will be extending the exhibition dates. With this 6-day exhibition, we aim to highlight the wealth of talent and skill in artistic ability that can be found in our local community.
We are thankful for the love and support that our community has given us, and we want to continue to work together to maintain a space for artists of all disciplines of making and moving, free of borders and definitions. The selected works will be exhibited with sales encouraged, though not guaranteed, salon style at KinoSaito, with an opening reception including refreshments provided. This open call is both an opportunity for artists to show and sell their work, as well as fundraising for KinoSaito as we head into our fifth year of operations.
