June 5-11
Arts For Art, Inc. presents the 16th annual Vision Festival, New York City’s premier multidisciplinary celebration of innovative jazz music, dance, poetry, and art, held for its third year at the Abrons. Critics have described it as “arguably the most important free-jazz fest in the U.S.” (Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader), and stated that “avant-garde jazz culture has no better colloquy in this country than the Vision Festival” (Nate Chinen, The New York Times).
Each year, the Vision Festival honors the achievements of one living artist who has greatly influenced the world around them and paved the way for other innovators to move forward. On Wednesday, June 8, Arts For Art and The Vision Festival will celebrate a Lifetime of Achievement by Peter Brotzmann. This great improviser was one of the first practitioners of the Free Jazz movement in Europe. Brotzmann has programmed his own evening in such a way that it would reflect his ongoing pursuit of musical innovation. This 70-year-old artist is not interested in looking back — only in looking forward and being as creative as possible in the present.

NYFA’s Curatorial Program Presents: A Feminist Tea Party Monday, April 11 – Friday, April 15, 2011 NYFA Gallery Free and open to the public NYFA is pleased to announce A Feminist Tea Party, a week-long residency event presented through NYFA’s Curatorial Program. A Feminist Tea Party at NYFA is Caitlin Rueter and Suzanne Stroebe’s first solo exhibition for their collaborative project A Feminist Tea Party. A Feminist Tea Party lies somewhere between a performance, an installation and a participatory event. Rueter and Stroebe will be welcoming guests for tea, sweets and informal conversation daily in the NYFA Gallery from 12 noon until 5 o’clock during the week of April 11th, 2011. Provoked by the Tea Party protests, A Feminist Tea Party recasts the “tea party” as a playful, progressive, inquisitive and inclusive space. At its inception, the project was only meant to last for an afternoon. It has now continued for over a year, and is constantly re-imagined as it finds new audiences, spaces, and participants. Stroebe and Rueter revisit the consciousness-raising groups of the 1970′s in the set of a midcentury tea party. Rather than recreating the exclusive environment of the historical consciousness-raising groups, or the homogeneous scene typical of the historical tea party, they include a wider cast of discussants, conflating the past and present to create an environment where essential and discomfiting issues can be discussed freely and with a sense of humor. Each day a different co-host or team of co-hosts will introduce a discussion or event, engaging guests in casual conversation surrounding a topic related to feminism that they have chosen for this space. Please see below for a schedule. Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of your gender, your political persuasion or Schedule of events: Monday April 11, 2-4pm Tuesday April 12, 2-4pm Wednesday April 13, 4:30-6pm Thursday April 14, 2-4pm Friday April 15, time TBA For more information, visit A Feminist Tea Party‘s blog: http://www.afeministteaparty.wordpress.com The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) now offers curatorial services to help organizations, corporations and individuals find engaging artwork for their offices, homes, festivals, events and other spaces.
