EVENT CANCELLED

With reflection on recent news and COVID-19, we are doing our part to help keep the communities we support safe and healthy at this incredibly challenging time by following the Center for Disease Control's recommendations as well as the State of Connecticut Health Department regarding preparedness and prevention of COVID-19. As a result, we unfortunately must cancel our closing reception for Witchy/Extra Human on April 19.

Performance by Annie Sailer Dance Company
2 pm

Exhibition dates: March 1 – April 19, 2020

Join us for the closing reception of Witchy, an unjuried exhibition with work that addresses issues of ritual, magic, power, and how these concepts inform ideas about equity, health, spirituality, identity, and community. Can magic, then, be understood as a different type of power, a way to combat political power that threatens many of our communities?

Annie Sailer Dance Company will perform a new work choreographed by Annie Sailer titled “magic thing” in conjunction with the exhibition of her assemblage installation, bluejean project: magic thing 1.

Dancers include: Susan Golub, Yoko Kurimoto, Rod Rufo, and Annie Sailer

Performance by Briana Williams

Sunday, March 1
2 pm

Briana Williams’ multidisciplinary performance will  time travel back 1851 to the famous Women’s Convention to channel the feminist icon Sojourner Truth.  The gut wrenching speech echoes still today, touching on intersectional feminism, smashing the patriarchy and race relations America. 

Ain’t I A WomanPerformance by Briana Williams

An unjuried exhibition about magic, power, spirituality and feminism

March 1 – April 19, 2020

Opening Reception
Sunday, March 1
1 – 3 pm

Witchy is an exhibition with work that addresses issues of ritual, magic, power, and how these concepts inform ideas about equity, health, spirituality, identity, and community. Throughout historic time periods, including our own, there has been a correlation between the rise of self-identified witches and fascism. Can magic, then, be understood as a different type of power, a way to combat political power that threatens many of our communities?

A Celebration of BE-ing & Spirit

Resilience and Resistance is a synergistic collision series. The upcoming Resilience and Resistance will take place during the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2019 at The Ely Center Of Contemporary Art

A Celebration of Resilience and Resistance provides a symbiotic climate for artists, art appreciators, and culture participants (EVERYONE) to fuse and accept their presence in the divine moment. 

Divine Moment  is curated and coordinated by performance curator Briana Williams, with the intention to expose spirit, celebrate resilience and resist divergence.  

All are welcome! This program was designed with aspirations of healing and further inspiring the community at large.

Join us tonight, December 13 from 7 – 9 pm for the full Jazz Where? experience.

Jazz Where? is a new jazz pop-up organized by New Haven Independent Arts Editor Brian Slattery and Inner-City News Editor Babz Rawls-Ivy. Come for a night of jazz that seeks to create a house-show feel with an emphasis on community and friends, both old and new.

In Partnership with Elm City Dance Collective and New Haven Pride Center

Elm City Dance Collective and New Haven Pride Center will collaborate on a month-long process & performance workshop with a community of trans-identified people, non-dancers and dancers alike.

Performance begins at 6 pm.

From April 25 to June 9, The Tea House of Many Stories will inform Ian Leung and allow him to share his observations and findings from all the guests he has served at the Tea House in an attempt to understand what constitutes an art experience, and to share the inspiring human stories that have left a mark in one’s life.
