The monthlong celebrations by the Bowery Mission for the 100th anniversary of its chapel culminate this weekend. A celebration of the Bowery Mission's work will be held on Friday at 1pm with visiting dignitaries and music from Broadway performer Nina Negri (Les Miserables) and Lower East Side jazz musician Steve Elson.

The Mission's exhibit "Now & Then: Photography of the Bowery," a selection of vintage photographs and 17 artists' photographs and works, has also been extended through the weekend (The Bowery Mission Chapel, 227 Bowery between Prince and Rivington Sts; bowery.org. Fri 2--5pm; Sat 9am--1pm, 3:30--5:30pm; Sun 10am--1pm, 3:30--5:30pm. Free). As you can see from the pictures above, it includes some fascinating and beautiful imagery. There are also free tours of the Bowery Mission's buildings. Here's to another 100 years.
