Arts for Art proudly presents our annual free InGardens Series, an outdoor concert series in the Lower East Side. We will be presenting some of the best creative improvising artists with themes of CLIMATE JUSTICE, NO WAR, HUMAN RIGHTS in the U.S., Ukraine, and Gaza. AFA creates spaces of caring where cutting edge performers speak of Universal Rights.

AFA will partner with First Street Green Art Park, More Gardens, and Children’s Magical Garden. InGardens FALL 2024 will span across six weekends from Saturday, September 7 through Indigenous Peoples Day on Monday October 14. Each date will showcase music, poetry, and dance that lifts our creative hearts and encourages people to register to vote in November.
