“In the dark of these times, art lights the way,” says Patricia Nicholson Parker, co-founder of Arts for Art. She and William Parker have expanded AFA to include the activist arm Artists for a Free World (AFFW). Its purpose is to take a stand for racial and economic justice to create a world where peace is possible.
Artists for a Free World is announcing the September Music and Poetry Protest Performances, an outdoor event series that will take place in downtown New York City at the Clemente, La Plaza (the parking lot on Norfolk Street north of Delancey). The events will be socially-distanced and in compliance with all CDC and New York City guidelines. Admission is free and donations are appreciated. Additional information can be found here.
