Sound surrounds us constantly. Yet, it is not often that we can integrate the sounds around us into our self-care and healing processes. However, sound rendered and received with the intention of healing opens our awareness and our bodies to the profound effects of vibration. It is astonishing what a difference can be made in one’s physical well-being, state of mind, and quality of life with the regular exposure to even just a few simple sound healing techniques.

Drawing from ancient meditative practices of Tibet and India, elements of indigenous shamanic traditions, as well as contemporary methods, this event offers a centering and revitalizing experience of sound to support optimal states of physical wellness, mental clarity, and emotional balance. By experiencing various instruments (including singing bowls, flutes, tuning forks, percussion instruments, chimes, and more) as well as exercising their own voices, participants explore fundamental principles of sound healing and learn how implementing these principles can have a positive impact on their holistic well-being.

So tuck away your sweaters, put on your party outfit and dancing shoes, and come celebrate another year of successful programming with us! All ticket and artwork sales go directly towards artist fellowships and our educational outreach programs.

As we enter our fifth year of programming, we look back and are proud of our progress since our founding in 2006 and the launching of our programs in 2010. The support of our community is essential to our continued growth and strength throughout the next year. We continue to provide professional development opportunities to artists through our growing international residency programs and short-term national and international studio spaces, serving over 30 emerging and mid-career artists in the past year. Our exhibition programming has given voice to the vision of 60 curators and artists from all over the world. Additionally, our monthly free family educational programming of exhibition tours and children’s workshops has expanded and become even more popular in our local community. We are pleased to have partnered this year with PS 172, an elementary school in Sunset Park, with whom we present an after-school animation workshop, giving children greater access to the visual arts. Our annual benefit is an opportunity to engage with and reaffirm our commitment to our community – to you!

On April 22nd, we’ll be celebrating at our home in Sunset Park so tell your friends, your family, your lover: any contribution to our Benefit will make a big difference. Help us to continue to grow and reach our goals to support artists, curators, and our community in 2015!

Opening Reception: Unearthing Roots, Foraging Self

nars — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:11:08 +0000

Opening Reception: Friday, March 27 from 6-9pm

How does our relationship to a geographic place feed into the concept of our identity? Grappling with this question, the New York Art Residency & Studios (NARS) Foundation is delighted to present a group exhibitionUnearthing Roots, Foraging Self, curated by Margaret Flanagan and including work by José Arenas, Pia Coronel, Kyoung eun Kang, Viviane Rombaldi Seppey, and Kara J. Schmidt. New York City is distinctive in that it is home to over eight million people, comprised largely of “immigrants,” those who have moved here, who bring with them their own historical groundwork. This personal history is the foundation of their identity, and while they become New Yorkers through location, their roots are embedded in the land from which they have come.

The artists in this exhibition utilize different processes and materials to explore the effect of place on identity.José Arenas spent his childhood split between Northern California and Guadalajara, Mexico, grappling with the history and influences of these two worlds. Arenas contemplates his dual identities by combining cultural symbols, abstract forms, and decorative patterns in paint to create a space that is both narrative and open to viewer response and interpretation. Pia Coronel pushes photography into the third dimension by stripping away layers and returning to nature through the incorporation of found wood. Her return to nature is a search for identity in a world of solitude and separation as we drift further and further from our “original selves.” Kyoung eun Kang studies human encounters and personal relationships in order to comprehend her own identity and the boundaries of familial relationships. Over several months, she forged an intimate relationship with a couple in their seventies through a series of encounters which included sharing a meal, exchanging stories, and taking part the simple acts of daily life. These close encounters are elegantly chronicled in short segments, slowly building a narrative of the lives of two people who have built a life through their shared experience of space.Viviane Rombaldi Seppey’s work is informed by her nomadic lifestyle, exploring the cultures and places from her position as an “outsider.” Maps and phonebooks, both essentially informed by a geographic area, are manipulated reflections on her personal sense of place in these differing societies and to reconcile that sense with her identity. Kara J. Schmidt examines the cartography of physical and virtual spaces related to her personal history. Utilizing Google Maps, Schmidt slowly eradicates and flattens the geographic spaces where she once lived and studied, allowing the viewer to understand this abstract space in a different way. Through myriad methods, each artist has unearthed their own path of remembrance as they traverse the terrain of NYC.

Manny the cat - owner died- he needs a home.

nancy8500 — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 23:13:48 +0000

We've named him Manny. He appeared in our yard, already neutered and is extremely friendly. He hasn't been reported missing and we've had him for 2.5 months. Rumor has it that he was evicted from his home one street away when his owner died. He's been to the vet, is perfectly healthy and we tested him for FIV & FELV - negative for both. He's 1.5 to 2 years old, at the most. We were hoping to keep him but our senior female cat doesn't like other cats at all. He's a love bug - adores people. Please contact us if you'd like to meet him and please share it with your friends. Thanks so much. email: lnewman11209@gmail.com

(south) brooklyn Photo Project - Sit for a portrait

obviouslytma — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 13:38:50 +0000

I'm working on a photographic series about the neighborhoods in which I grew up - Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, Gravesend, Dyker Heights. I want to tell the story of the Brooklyn I know, the one that isn't part of the Brooklyn "brand" and doesn't get written up in the NYT Style section every day.

I'm looking to meet and photograph people living in those neighborhoods - all ages, all kinds of people - and learn your stories about living in the neighborhood. I generally photograph this project on the weekends. I photograph using film and a large camera, so we will probably spend about an hour on your portrait. Get in touch if you're interested, or you know someone who is, and we'll chat.

To compensate you for sharing your time with me, I will give you either an 8x10 print of your portrait or an 8x10 print of any image that's on my website. Send me an email at obviouslytma (at) gmail (dot) com.
