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.

City Pier A is a municipal pier in the Hudson River at Battery Park near the southern end of Manhattan in New York City. It has also been named Liberty Gateway. It is the last surviving historic pier in the city.The Pier was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and was designated a New York City landmark in 1977.HistoryPier A was built from 1884 to 1886 to serve the New York City Department of Docks and Harbor Police. The engineer in charge of construction and design was George Sears Greene Jr. (1837-1922), the son of the civil engineer and Union general George S. Greene (1801-1899). The design mirrored the Statue of Liberty which could be viewed from a similar but shorter tower. The roof was tin, painted green to resemble copper. In renovation by the Battery Park City Authority this roof was discarded, and replaced with copper.The pier was expanded in 1900 and again in 1919 with a clock installed in the pier's tower as a memorial to 116,000 US servicemen who died during World War I. The clock is a ship's clock and was donated by Daniel G. Reid, founder of United States Steel Corporation. The clock was unveiled at noon on January 25, 1919 by Rear Admiral Josiah S. McKean, with speeches made by Mayor John Francis Hylan and Docks Commissioner George Murray Hulbert. It is said to be the first World War I memorial erected in the United States.
