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!

About the Lower East Side Arts & Culture Open House:

Organized by FABnyc with 20 Lower East Side organizations, the Lower East Side Arts & Culture Open House is intended to give folks an opportunity to spend time exploring cultural organizations in the LES without a ticket to a show or the cost of admission! All organizations will have staff available to welcome you & answer questions about their programs — many offer special free activities such as tours, exhibits, workshops, and performances.
