FULL PROGRAMMING & LINE-UP HERE

ABOUT
Organized by Fourth Arts Block (FABnyc) the Lower East Side Arts & Culture Open House is now in its third year, welcoming folks into cultural spaces without a ticket to a show or the cost of admission. All organizations will have staff available to greet you & answer questions about their programs!

On East 4th Street, you can grab maps & plan your route — and meet folks from 16 different organizations tabling on the block! Check out live music, poetry and theater performances on our stage, plus hands-on arts activities good for all ages.

Then, with a map in hand, you can venture out into the historic Lower East Side to visit 13 more organizations who are opening their doors for you to explore exhibits, artist studios, theaters, a zine library, and more!

Join us to choose-your-own-adventure around the neighborhood and learn more about Lower East Side Arts & Culture organizations straight from the people behind the scenes!
