Art and Music in the city

Some are already talking about summer being over.  Nonsense! there are still plenty of summer days ahead of us. One of the great remaining weekend activity for music loving New Yorkers is the Highly anticipated MoMa Warm Up series.

From June to September,  the PS1 Museum is hosting an outdoor music series taking place every Saturday (this year through September 6th see link above for details). 

For 17 years now,  Warm Up is introducing us to experimental live music, sound, and DJs—both local and international. The Project supports both established and emerging artists and provides a space for collaboration to them.

It is a fun, high energy place to be and if you are into the music and dance scene, definitely a summer destination to mark on your calendars before the end of this summer. And because It is at MoMa, there is of course a great art installation each year to rave about. Awesome backdrop for visitors.

Art, dance, music and culture mix. This is new York!

Williamburg's Domino Sugar Refinery Opens Its Doors!

The Domino Sugar Refinery has become one of the few, if not last (!), withstanding remnants of Williamsburg's past.  Sitting alongside the East River, it's been a part of the neighborhood's iconic silhouettes since 1882, when at the time it was the largest sugar refinery in the world. From its final operations in 2004, the factory has become increasingly surrounded by expensive real estate, a fate that the enormous building complex will now share with its neighbors. Though there has been debates back-and-forth about how to properly honor this Brooklyn landmark, we all will get a chance to marvel inside its doors this month. Renowned artist Kara Walker combines her themes of American cultural and social history into a towering sphinx entitled, A Subtlety or Marvelous Sugar Baby. (Detailed article from NYTimes)
