Interstitial Arts Foundation Salon in NYC

[kate_schaefer]

The Interstitial Arts Foundation is a weird, cool little non-profit  dedicated to developing and promoting interstitial art, art that slithers between genres and media. I've been charmed by it for years, although (or because) I've never quite able to pin down exactly how it does that.

Well, some of how it does that is by publishing fiction that crosses boundaries, and some of how it does that is by asking artists to make work inspired by that fictionm, and some more of how it does that is to get people together to talk about and look at art while eating and drinking and hanging out together in New York City Wednesday night. My friend Tempest Bradford says:

The second NYC Salon has been announced! Artists and enthusiasts are cordially invited to an evening devoted to the pleasures of conversation among boundary crossing artists, writers, musicians, and creators.

The Time: Wednesday October 28th, 7 - 10 PM

The Place: aroma espresso bar; 161 West 72nd Street (between Amsterdam & Columbus and less than half a block away from the 1/2/3 stop), NYC

All artists, musicians, and writers are invited to attend. Please bring guests. Bring plenty of engraved calling cards (business cards are acceptable, too!). Bring samples of your art, if it’s portable. aroma has free wi-fi, so bring your laptop and show off your portfolio or your tunes. Bring friends, and bring a willingness to mingle with strangers — who might turn out to be colleagues, friends, or even artistic soul-mates!

And finally, please bring an appetite. aroma has great food and drinks and since they’re donating the space to us, we’d like to show our appreciation by buying items to ingest.

And, as a special treat, originals and pictures of the amazing interstitial art sent in for the Interfictions auction will be on display.

I've contributed a hat to the Interfictions auction. I don't have a good picture of the hat (I was juggling a bunch of deadlines and had to get it in the mail), but I'll link to all the auction items once the IAF auction volunteers have put the pictures up.

Have a good time if you go to the salon.
