TICKETS: Free and Open to the Public; Suggested Donation of $5 for PerformersArts for Art (AFA) is thrilled to present their annual celebration of creative artists in the creative environment of NYC’s community gardens. Sunday afternoon In Garden performances bring cutting edge creative music, poetry and dance into our community gardens. In a city full of concrete venues, our performers and audiences rarely have the chance to experience art in beautiful, open, green spaces. These In Garden performances open eyes and ears to new music and art, furthering the accessibility of the innovative arts. The In Gardens performances realize Arts for Art’s passion to share our art and gifts with the neighborhoods in which we live and work.
Weekly performances at the First Street Garden (between 1st and 2nd Ave.) run from September 12, through October 24, 2010. On September 19th and October 17th, 2010 there are special events in additional gardens in the LES and Brooklyn. The performances are free to adults and children of all ages ($5 Suggested Donation for Artists).
