La Maison d'Art is a unique Private Art Gallery set up to accommodate not just a particular medium, but to unite artists from a variety of backgrounds: visual, spoken word, dance, film, etc. aimed to provoke discussions, debates and critique about the role of art in society. “Art is not a mirror to reflect the world, but a hammer with which to shape it”.Bertolt Brecht We seek to create a space where cultural, social or political artists can present their work and to discuss, debate and critique all forms of art and from there cultural, social and political ideas as a whole. Our Brownstone is also a private showcase guesthouse full of local Designers decors and artists artwork, available to transport their style and art into your own home.
More info: www.wordupbooks.com Word Up is a community bookshop in Northern Manhattan. Originally conceived of as a month-long “pop-up” shop, Word Up and its 100% volunteer-powered staff of local residents have sold and/or distributed thousands of books to individuals and organizations, hosted more than 200 performers (as of the end of September) on the shop’s stage through a rigorous events program, and provided neighbors with a regular, safe venue in which to gather, debate, and engage with others who live in the shop’s immediate environs, on the block, down the way, up the street, and around the corner. * Email [email protected] to ask for the latest info, to consign books, to join the mailing list, or for any press inquiries. * Email [email protected] to submit an event proposal. * Email [email protected] to GET INVOLVED! -------- Word Up es una librería que durará un mes, empezando con el Paseo de las Artes/Uptown Arts Stroll. Habrán lecturas, obras de teatro, talleres, discusiones, y más, con escritores y editoriales locales. Esperamos que la idea de una librería multi-lingüística de interés general en el centro de nuestro vecindario tendrá un gran impacto y que el proyecto—éste o uno parecido—pueda seguir durante todo el verano y después. De junio 14 a julio 14, el horario de la librería será L-V 4-9PM, Sabado y Domingo 12-4PM, más algunas excepciones para eventos especiales. FAVOR fijase que la dirección ya no es la 3855 Broadway, como anteriormente se anunció.
The Hispanic Society of America is a museum and reference library for the study of the arts and cultures of Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. (Despite the name and the founder's intention, it has never functioned as a learned association.) Founded in 1904 by Archer M. Huntington, the institution is free and open to the public at its original location in a Beaux Arts building on Audubon Terrace (at 155th Street and Broadway) in the lower Washington Heights area of New York City in the United States. The campus was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2012.In April, 2015 the Society announced the appointment of Philippe de Montebello to chair the Society's Board of Overseers and spearhead a major effort to roughly double the museum's size by renovating the now-vacant, adjacent, Beaux Arts, former building of the Museum of the American Indian.Exterior sculpture at the society includes work by Anna Hyatt Huntington and nine major reliefs by the Swiss-American sculptor Berthold Nebel, a commission that took ten years to complete.
