We’re excited to be supporting again this year the Annual Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America’s New York Book Fair at the Park Avenue Armory from April 27-30, 2023.

The Fair’s specialties encompass art, science, medicine, literature, history, gastronomy, fashion, first editions, Americana, philosophy, children’s books and much more. From the historic and academic, the religious and spiritual—to the bedrock of secular culture, finance, politics—the Fair boasts offerings in every conceivable genre and subject.

The 63rd New York International Antiquarian Book Fair is officially sanctioned by the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. This means that the consumer can rely upon the experience and professionalism of participating dealers and the authenticity of the items available for purchase. Simply stated, all books, manuscripts and related material have been carefully examined for completeness and bibliographic accuracy.

Since its founding in 1947, New York Artists Equity Association (NYAE) has championed the professional aspirations of artists, many of whom have been integral to shaping America’s cultural landscape. It’s our honor to be a sponsor of the NYAE’s 75th Anniversary night of fundraising and art to raise money to ensure NYAE’s bright future and continued support for artists.

The evening spotlights NYAE’s core mission and the talents of our artist community with 7 x 5, a stunning collection of 7×5” works in a range of media and styles, created and donated by member artists specifically for the event. Works will be for sale for $300 each throughout the evening, with all proceeds going to support NYAE. Be sure to get first dibs by buying Collectors’ Preview tickets!

Also join us for a tribute to the life and work of one of NYAE’s founding members, post-war American sculptor Chaim Gross (1902-1991), along with performances by cellist Sarah Song, performance artist, and singer John Kelly, and poet Robyn Gibson.

We’ll be serving wine and beer, including non-alcoholic beers graciously sponsored from our friends at No and Low, at the bar, and plant-based hors d’oeuvres by our in-house chef. Dancing encouraged!

Tickets are available HERE.
If you are unable to attend, please consider making a fully tax-deductible donation.

With power comes responsibility, and with THE WOMEN TAKE OVER comes a community of creativity, strength, and resources.

Join us December 10th, 2021 for what we hope to be an altruistic-focused, heart-centered evening of strengthening one another, disconnecting through connecting, networking through not working, and of enlightenment and entertainment. An “unmixed” mixer ☺ to inspire creative business connections and entrepreneurship within a female community while sharing information on great philanthropic organizations.

With boldness comes brilliance; and we invite you to boldly join us for THE WOMEN TAKE OVER at the historic and traditionally “Men’s Only” private club, The Downtown Association, located at 60 Pine Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, NYC.

From 6:30-9:00 PM women and non-binary only for an open bar and complimentary bites. Then at 9:00PM-12:00AM mixed company welcomed. A night filled with live music, community, hor-d’oeuvres, a raffle, backgammon, mahjongg, chess, Tarot readings, and featured art from Edwina Sandys. 

Join us in lifting each other up within the female entrepreneurial and creative spirit. We are so looking forward to seeing you there.

A celebration of women and non-binary artists living and working in Brooklyn, NYC. Opening party: October 14th, 6-9pm at The Hall BK

Meet and celebrate art and the artists making Brooklyn a global art destination.

Exchanging Visions is the result of conversations between the curator-artist and several of the artists during the 2020-21 pandemic over Zoom, on rooftops, and in coffee shops in Brooklyn.

Energized by negative press that “New York City Is Dead Forever” these women and non-binary artists turn away from such short-sighted opinions and instead collaborate using their skills, energy, resilience, and passion to refashion and construct the next wave of art that Brooklyn, NYC will be known for.

They realized their experiences as working artists in NYC during this unprecedented time offer valuable inspiration and contribution to the unfolding story of this great city, and the world.

These artists are deeply embedded in and passionate about their overlapping communities, and see Art as a foundational part of the health of New York City’s ecosystem, success, cultures, people, and prosperity.

“Through this event we strive to increase the visibility of Brooklyn’s women and non-binary artists across the globe and help to bring more gender equity to the world of art. We are dedicated to featuring living, working artists known, and yet to be discovered, to larger audiences. We are dedicated to diversity, inclusivity, and benefit for all artists. This event strives to provide an environment and space where creativity and community can develop, expand and flourish.”

OPENING RECEPTION: FREE TO THE PUBLIC
Thursday, October 14th: 6pm – 10pm
Closing Event – Saturday, October 23rd: 6pm – 9pm

Location: The Hall BK | Corner of Flushing + Hall Street, Brooklyn NYC
