SUMMARY:"On the ground where we might find": 2026 LES Young Artists of Color Fellowship Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of works by FABnyc’s 2026 Lower East Side Young Artists of Color Fellows\n70 E 4th Street\, New York NY 10003\nFREE with RSVP \nOpening Reception: Friday\, May 15th\, 6-9pm \nOpen Gallery Hours\nSaturday\, May 16th: 1pm-5pm\nSunday\, May 17th: 1pm-5pm \nFeatured Artists: Benji Hsu\, Coralis Rivera\, Daniel Marte\, Jewel Champbell\, Kendall Greene\, Mei Bock\, Natalia Boumatar & Nia Blue \nIn On the ground where we might find\, the eight artists experiment with ways of being with others\, caring for each other\, and remembering together. The pieces are participatory in nature: some are directly inspired by existing community archives\, while others attempt to break the ground for one. Anchored in feelings that are meant to be shared: camaraderie\, gratitude\, nostalgia\, and grief\, the exhibit explores emotional complexities within a sense of community. \n\n FAB’s 2026 Lower East Side Young Artists of Color Fellowship supports early career artists in exploring creative practices centered on community engagement and cross-sector collaboration. The 2026 LES Young Artists of Color Fellowship was facilitated by Ari-Duong Nguyen. \nGraphic design by Coralis Rivera. This fellowship is supported in part through funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:Open Arts LES: Jamile Jazz Trio
DESCRIPTION:With a deep and versatile voice\, vocalist\, composer\, and educator Jamile is carving out a unique space for herself in today’s music landscape. She captivates audiences with her unique phrasing and heartfelt tone\, and impresses listeners with her virtuosity\, impeccable vocal control\, and extraordinary percussive approach. With a rich musical background\, Jamile’s plurality is undeniable.  \nAs recognized by the press\, “She can sing most anything” (Suzanne Lorge\, New York City Jazz Record): from wordless big band pieces to straight ahead jazz\, from soul to bolero\, not to mention the music from her home country\, Brazil.  \nJamile’s unique sound also proclaims itself through her distinct repertoire\, a combination of modern and Brazilian jazz that is rarely heard. Recognizing the importance of celebrating the present and future of jazz\, her authenticity inevitably transpires through anything she does\, especially her original work. \nHer latest EP “A Collection of Delusions and Occasional Truths” (La Reserve Records)\, showcases a side of her that is both visceral and intellectual\, combining free-form poetry with elaborate music written for guitar and voice. \nhttps://www.jamilemusic.com/
