ART Meets the Street

Saturday June 13, 3:00PM-7:00PM

In partnership with Cooper Square Mutual Housing Association.

B.Y.O.L.C. (Bring Your Own Lawn Chair) and enjoy theater like they did in ancient times.

Performances by Bill Popp, Karys Rhea, Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Company, Rod Rodgers Dance Company, Agrupación Lubola Macú and Tambores de Nueva York presented by Teatro IATI, Radnevsky's Real Magic and GIFTSHOP. Listen to songs by artists performing at Meet the Street.
