Festival | Lower East Side Pickle Day


Fall is upon us, and with that is one of New York's most relished traditions, Lower East Side Pickle Day! The festival is a slice of the city's history, reminiscent of when the streets of the Lower East Side were lined with pushcarts peddling their goods and wares for sale to a neighborhood of immigrants from far and wide. Lower East Side merchants and Picklers from up and down the east coast will be lining Orchard Street, delivering the divine scent of brine. These vendors are offering cucs on sticks, ice cream churned with dill, and pickle chips fried to perfection. Attendees can also sample bites from the new Essex Market and taste of what's ahead with shops and eateries from the forthcoming Market Line. Pickle Day is a kid and kid-at-heart friendly event with free activities like giant games, coloring tables, and more. Dance all day to tunes by DJs from Louie & Chan! Snap a photo with friends in the free photo booth or strike a pose with our giant pickle mascot, Mr. Pickle himself!

Play | To Life: Meet the Rosens


The Rosen family, battered and blessed, celebrates Jeffrey's life as their hearts lie gasping on the floor. Backs are turned and accusations hurled as the Rosens come together and fall apart, bound by heartbreak and humor. Nobody escapes a good kick in the tuchas as they expose their foibles, confront their fears, and cling to their fragile connection amidst the chaos. The story is both elegy and eulogy to the death of a family and reminds us that we're not alone. Written by Eve Lederman.

Discussion | Moving Movements: Women in Philanthropy


A dynamic, diverse and national convening. Recognizing that women are leading this shift and the history of women philanthropists like Vera List, after whom the Center is named, this program considers how a distinctly intersectional feminist perspective, when it plays out through philanthropy, can transform our cultural organizations into more social justice-driven, inclusive and resilient spaces that boldly assert their civic roles.

Author Reading | Remaking a Life: How Women Living with HIV/AIDS Confront Inequality

Performance | Dependency Graph 4: Performance Art


Dependency Graph 4 continues the performative collaboration between Black Rain and video artist Philip Vanderhyden. Black Rain's Stuart Argabright and Vanderhyden were introduced in 2012 while Vanderhyden was curating the exhibition Gretchen Bender: Tracking the Thrill. Their collaboration began with Argabright supplying sound for Vanderhyden's multi-channel video installations, leading to ongoing collaborations with Argabright and co-band member Soren Roi. The group will stage the most recent iteration of the 30-minute long set, employing a 12-channel bank of monitors and sound equipment to create a theatrical tableau in the gallery. Black Rain's post-industrial meta-music offers an improvised response to Vanderhyden's videos which explore themes of financial anxiety, developmental psychology, virtual reality and sexual gratification in a dreamlike, hypnotic tableau.
