Arts for Art proudly pays tribute to the late, great pianist, activist and educator, Connie Crothers. She embodied Love and Compassion in her life and music, representing what is best in our community of Multicultural Creative Arts. She believed in and actively fostered community. She stood up for social justice. She held spontaneous, improvised music as the highest creative goal. Most of the participating artists studied or played with Connie, and they are all living this tradition of community, compassion and justice.

SHIFT | 411 Kent

Shift is a new(ish) series for creative and experimental music in the heart of Williamsburg. It has quickly built a reputation for boundary-pushing excellence, diverse curation, great sound, and adventurous audiences. Shift deftly taps the creativity that NY has to offer and the intimate space draws in performers from Mumbai to Buenos Aires. Presenting partnerships have included The Stone, Experimental Intermedia, and Arts for Arts. Steve Smith (The New York Times, The New Yorker) describes Shift as "a burgeoning hub of arts activity.
