Lower East Side Arts & Culture Open House
10.19.2024
12:00 pm–4:00 pm
Our Lower East Side neighbors stopped by CTHQ to learn more about Creative Time’s 50 year history. Creative Time’s work commissioning and presenting art that meets the moment includes over 350 public art projects across New York City, the country, and the world that have come to mark the most pressing issues of the time. Community members stopped by our open house to explore Creative Time’s past and present work through materials from our archive as well as current projects. This program was part of the Lower East Side Arts & Culture Open House where we opened our doors alongside our neighbors on East 4th Street and the Lower East Side!
