Arts for Art is excited to announce the schedule for our 2019 fall programming season entitled For A Suffering World.  The season begins with an evening of tributes to Steve Cannon, the beloved Lower East Side cultural iconoclast and community leader, organized in partnership with A Gathering of the Tribes.  Tributes to the late poet will continue during the return of our popular In Gardens series in September and October.  We then look forward to the continuation of partnerships with El Taller Latino Americano in East Harlem and the Weeksville Heritage Center in Central Brooklyn.  The season concludes with the weekly family-friendly FreeJazz on a Sunday Afternoon series.

Performance lineups and more information to be announced soon.
