LMCC Workspace Open Studio Weekend May 13 – 15, 2011

LMCC Workspace Open Studio Weekend
May 13 – 15, 2011

Join us in the studios of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Workspace artists- and writers-in-residence for an opening reception, open hours, and a reading! Representing all media and genres–from painting and sculpture to installation, photography, video, and performance; from poetry and fiction to playwriting and creative non-fiction–artists and writers will present the work they've been making since the start of their residencies in September 2010.

In partnership with Downtown's generous real estate community, since 1997 Workspace, LMCC's 9-month residency program, has provided valuable space, time, and community for experimentation, professional development, and dialogue to emerging visual artists and writers.

All events are free and open to the public. RSVP is required for all events.
