Things get up close and personal at North Haven Gardens this Friday when a new show, “Near/Sighted: Close Perspectives on Natural Phenomena,” takes over the gallery. Guests are invited to “examine every detail — real or imagined — in works ranging from living dioramas to mixed-media sculpture and photography.” The opening reception begins at 5 p.m. Click here for details.

Stick around the mall for The Caribbean Show at 2 p.m. The event is hosted by BookMarks and intended for little ones, but with African folk, calypso and reggae music it should be entertaining for all age groups.
