Watch two abstract painters create their art live at Peabody Gallery.  Sean Leone and Anthony Palomo will demonstrate how they create conceptual depth in abstract painting. You will learn how they implement color theory, logic, physics, and religion to imbue their work with nuance. Ask the artists questions while they paint to really get to know the method to their madness.

Sean Leone graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts from Biola University.

Anthony Palomo graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts from Notre Dame de Namur.

What is tax planning?

Tax planning is something that should be done for any business before the year is over. When it’s time to prepare taxes in the Spring, it’s usually too late to implement most strategies for the prior year.

Any time there is a significant change in your business and especially when you’re starting or growing your business, you need to have a plan to make sure you are taking deductions the right way and that they fit with the type of legal entity you have and your long-term goals.

Although there are literally hundreds of tax saving strategies, SCORE will cover the following seven topics:



1. Maximize business deductions
2. Use a business entity to reduce taxes
3. Home office: red flag or one of the best deductions?
4. Maximize your automotive and business travel expenses
5. Loophole to deduct your child’s college expenses or support your parents
6. Deduct vacation travel – the right way
7. Build wealth the tax advantaged way
