January 2018 UPTOWN ARTS at United Palace

https://www.unitedpalace.org/upca

We believe that going to the movies should be a special experience. Yes, you can watch just about any movie on your phone, tablet or computer any time you want, anywhere you want. But that is not goingto a movie. When the lights go down in a movie theatre you are transported, immersed, lost in the story. Part of the thrill is basking in a community of hundreds - or thousands - of fellow audience members all temporarily joined by a shared moment. It’s not the same as trying to watch a tiny screen with buds shoved in your ears while being jostled on the A-train.

As it was then known, the Loew’s 175th Street theatre opened in 1930 as a temple for film, designed in the exotic style that was all the rage, built to whisk you away from your day-to-day troubles into a world of fantasy. The setting remains as spectacular today as it was during the Depression: the ornamental Buddhas, cherubs, lions, and even elephants preserved in their gilded outrageousness.

They stopped showing movies at the Palace in 1969 when Rev. Ike purchased, and preserved, the building for his church, which continues to be the theatre’s caretaker. But since 2012 UPCA has led fundraising campaigns to purchase a new screen, audio, and, thanks to a major donation from Broadway superstar Lin-Manuel Miranda, a DCP projector, returning movies to the Palace in grand fashion.

In the 1930s the theatre also served as a vaudeville house. We honor that legacy by presenting pre- or post-movie entertainment at most screenings. That has included:

a flash mob performance of the gym scene from “West Side Story” followed by an interview between Rita Moreno and Lin-Manuel Miranda
a 10-year anniversary celebration with students from “Mad Hot Ballroom”
“Phantom of the Opera” with live organ accompaniment followed by a mini-concert by cast members from the Broadway production.

These “movies and a show” have captured the imagination of thousands of film-goers, as well as the city’s media, prompting amNY newspaper to call our events "the best way to see movies the way they used to be." The biggest compliment we receive is when audience members say watching a movie at the Palace is as exciting as seeing live theatre on Broadway.

The current movie season is called "Movies that Reawken Wonder." The schedule is below:

Mar 5: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Apr 2: Blade Runner (2007)

May 7: The Sound of Music

June 5: Dog Day Afternoon

January 2018 APPLY NOW Museum of Modern Art TEENS

http://teens.moma.org/

Our hands-on art-making programs. From In the Making to the MoMA + MoMA PS1 Cross-Museum Collective to our recently created Digital Advisory Board, we are constantly looking to find new ways of engaging young audiences and connecting them more deeply with the worlds of modern and contemporary art. But how can we translate these physical, MoMA-based experiences into a vibrant, digital presence? How do we capture the experimental messiness of, say, last season’s Clubs, Gangs, and Secret Societies course, and translate that into something that still makes sense online?

When we sat down last year to rethink the Museum’s website for teens, we knew that there were literally dozens of different ways to approach the project. We wanted to create something that could be a hub of information and content, like the Red Studio site we created a few years back, but we also wanted it to be a teen-directed social space, that could respond quickly to new events that pop up on a daily basis, like our popular MoMA Teens Facebook page. It also needed to have the ability to hold concrete information like course descriptions and online applications, like the official MoMA.org MoMA Teens page does. And then of course we wanted it to be just plain cool, like the teen-created (and Webby Award-winning) PopArt site. As the saying goes, at a certain point it probably would have been easier to just make a list of what we DIDN’T want the site to do.

Dates:            October 22, 2017 through February 2018
Location:      Northern end of Inwood Hill Park, enter at Indian Road & 218^th Street
Info:                www.nomaanyc.org
Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance’s (NoMAA) annual public art projects series in Upper Manhattan collaborated with Leanne Stella, founder of Art In FLUX, and NYC Parks to identify a curatorial theme and three uptown artists for an exhibit. Through an open call, Artists were invited to challenge how a park bench encourages or discourages conversation and interaction; to re-invent the bench to be more inclusive in respect to age, size, and abilities; explore how a bench affects access or cross-generational exchanges; or investigate the very definition(s) of the bench and how that plays a role in our perception and positioning of the bench within various cultures. The artists were given the freedom to present an abstract idea, a conceptual project or a functional re-invention of the ubiquitous object. Three NYC-based artists Suprina, Sam Holleran and Hugh Hayden were selected. Each artist had a very different take on the concept but share a playfulness in their responses.

Fechas: del 22 de octubre de 2017 hasta febrero de 2018
Ubicación: extremo norte de Inwood Hill Park, ingrese en Indian Road y 218th Street
Información: www.nomaanyc.org
La serie anual de proyectos de arte público del norte de Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA) en el Alto Manhattan colaboró con Leanne Stella, fundadora de Art In FLUX, y NYC Parks para identificar un tema curatorial y tres artistas de la zona alta para una exhibición. A través de una llamada abierta, se invitó a los artistas a cuestionar cómo un banco del parque fomenta o desalienta la conversación y la interacción; reinventar el banco para ser más inclusivo con respecto a la edad, el tamaño y las habilidades; explorar cómo un banco afecta el acceso o los intercambios intergeneracionales; o investigue la (s) misma (s) definición (es) del banco y cómo eso juega un rol en nuestra percepción y posicionamiento del banco dentro de varias culturas. Los artistas tuvieron la libertad de presentar una idea abstracta, un proyecto conceptual o una reinvención funcional del objeto omnipresente. Tres artistas de Nueva York Suprina, Sam Holleran y Hugh Hayden fueron seleccionados. Cada artista tenía una idea muy diferente del concepto pero compartía un carácter lúdico en sus respuestas.
