If you're an artist or art lover and you're in or near NYC this Friday, you gotta check out The Collaborators: An interactive live art exhibition. We find the most talented emerging artists from around NYC to collaborate on an original work of art in front of a live audience. We invite each amazing artist to paint in our studio/gallery as a group of classy and creative guests enjoy this intimate and provocative experience of witnessing and interacting with the artists as they create. Each artist creates using their own unique process and personality so no two evenings are ever the same. Over the course of three events, three different artists take there turn to create one single masterpiece. Each work of art that is created is exhibited in our gallery and available to purchase by art collectors. We then select three different artists to work on a new piece in the same process. Our goal is to cultivate relationships with dedicated artists and provide a platform for them to collaborate, exhibit and reach their audience.
Welcome to Church Street School for Music and Art! Since 1990, we have been dedicated to arts education for students of all ages and levels of ability. As the only not-for-profit school for the arts in Lower Manhattan, we extend an understanding and love of the arts to a community that is economically, socially and culturally diverse. Over the years Church Street School has truly become a community center: a safe place where parents share art experiences with their children, where groups of kids play in bands together, where audiences cheer on the performances of their neighbors, where those with the challenge of disabilities find a place to shine. The teachers at Church Street School are highly trained and experienced in their art, educational approaches, and belief in the accessibility of the arts to all. A group of acclaimed professionals from around the world, we leave space in our approaches to learn from our students too. With humble beginnings in a second floor loft, and three expansions in just over ten years, Church Street School is building a pre-eminent home for the arts, with sufficient programming and performance space to truly serve the communities of Lower Manhattan and beyond. We are growing our most popular programs, and evolving into areas of new technologies and multimedia integrations. This is an exciting time of growth, both physically and programmatically.

The Equitable Building is a 40-story office building in New York City, located at 120 Broadway between Pine and Cedar Streets in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan. A landmark engineering achievement as a skyscraper, it was designed by Ernest R. Graham - the successor to D. H. Burnham & Company - with Peirce Anderson as the architect-in-charge, and completed in 1915, when it was the largest office building in the world by floor area: on a plot of just less than 1acre, the building had 1.2e6sqft of floor space. Built to be the headquarters of the Equitable Life Insurance Company, the controversy surrounding its construction without setbacks, which does not allow sunlight to reach the surrounding ground, contributed to the adoption of the first modern building and zoning restrictions on vertical structures in Manhattan, the 1916 Zoning Resolution. Although it is now dwarfed by taller buildings in its vicinity, it still retains a distinctive identity in its surroundings on Lower Broadway.The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, and a New York City landmark in 1996. It was restored in 1983-90 by Ehrenkrantz, Eckstut & Whitelaw.DescriptionThe building is in the neoclassical style, rising 538 ft (164 m) with a total floor area of 1,849,394 square feet (176,000 m²), giving a floor area ratio of 30. Upon its completion, the building was the largest (in total floor area) in the world. It rises as a single tower with the appearance of two separate identical towers standing side by side, connected by a wing for the whole height of the building, such that it appears in the shape of the letter "H" when viewed from above. It has no setback from the street beyond the depth of the sidewalk, rising vertically for all its floors.
14 Wall Street, originally the Bankers Trust Company Building, is a skyscraper at 14 Wall Street at the corner of Nassau Street and running through to Pine Street in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. It sits across Nassau Street from Federal Hall National Memorial, across Wall Street from the New York Stock Exchange and diagonally across from the original headquarters of J. P. Morgan & Company. It was built in 1910-12 and was designed by Trowbridge & Livingston in the neoclassical style as the headquarters for Bankers Trust. An addition with Art Deco detailing, designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, was constructed in 1931-33. The stepped pyramid at the building's top is a noted part of the downtown skyline, and became the logo for Bankers Trust, which sold the building in 1937.The building was designated a New York City landmark on January 14, 1997.HistoryThe concept behind the building's design was to place the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus on top of St Mark's Campanile in Venice. Many early skyscrapers took the Venetian bell-tower as a logical model for a modern office tower, but 14 Wall Street was the first to top it off with a temple in the sky, a seven-story stepped pyramid modeled on one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Bankers Trust, for whom the building was constructed, then adopted the pyramid as its trademark, and took as its slogan "A Tower of Strength".
