The majesty of Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, the anguished beauty of Gustav Mahler's Adagio from the composer's tenth symphony, the poignancy of George Walker's Lyric for Strings, and additional scores, together pay tribute to the resilience, dignity, and contributions of ordinary Americans, as well as the courage and sacrifice of the heroes of 9/11. Organizers lend out hundreds of free picnic blankets, provide ample bistro chairs, and offer a curated selection of food and drink to purchase from local vendors. No tickets are required, and there are no lines to enter: it's as easy as a walk in the park.

Concert | Improvisational Duet in an an Art Exhibition


This event features a sunset duet between improviser Wendy Eisenberg and composer and guitarist David ... more >> Grubbs in the gallery. Instrument Object, an exhibition by artist Josiah McElheny pays homage to visionary musicians and composers from across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In works of sculpture, painting, installation, and drawing, ranging from 2014 to 2026 and never before exhibited in New York City, McElheny translates the work of ten musical artists into visual form. The exhibition is an experiment in animating the inanimate through sound and movement: transforming the loft space into an installation of image, sound, motion, and light, where works unpredictably activate, hum with the sound of motor gears, or encourage visitors to imagine an invisible music.

Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him.

Opening Reception | Rubberneckers: Solo Exhibition Critiquing Individualism


In this exhibition, electrical transmission towers are turned into dolls dressed in family clothing, ... more >> arranged like the power lines that cut through the neighborhood of North Hollywood. Prospect.6 closed in early February. Just weeks earlier, in January 2025, decommissioned electrical transmission towers sparked the Eaton Fire that tore through Altadena, destroying Aparicio’s Los Angeles home along with more than 9,000 other structures. This exhibition presents the body of work that emerged in the fire’s aftermath. None of the works in Rubberneckers shows a human figure. Aparicio builds them larger than a single body on purpose: a tree carries the marks of decades of hands, not one person’s, and he wants the work to carry the same weight. Rubberneckers asks viewers to look at a familiar landscape and recognize how much of it, the trees, the infrastructure, the ground itself, was never neutral to begin with.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course ... more >> of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Opening Reception | Elastic Synapse: Solo Exhibition Depicting Personal Memory & Diasporic Visual Culture


Multidisciplinary artist Tyler Cala Williams' exhibition. Drawing from personal memory and diasporic ... more >> visual culture, Williams' practice examines what is lost, mutated, and newly formed as images move across mediums. Consisting of oil paintings and mounted prints, this exhibition marks a shift from Williams' previous digital practice that focused on disrupting Western European surrealist works by inserting themselves or their friends as twisted thoughts into the composition. This work is more personal. Through pixelation, moire patterning, perspectival distortion, hyperreal rendering, and chromatic disruption, Williams destabilizes fixed notions of representation and interrogates how Black visuality circulates within contemporary image economies. By embracing slippage and material transformation, their work reanimates the Black imagination as a space of fugitivity, care, and alternative possibility.

Dance Performance | Curriculum IV: Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! -- Dance Meditation on Loss from 2X Tony Winning Choreographer


The world premiere of a new work from National Medal of the Arts and Kennedy Center Honoree, Bill T. ... more >> Jones, a show that was originally scheduled to premiere on September 12, 2001 on the plaza of the Twin Towers.  This new work, with original music from composer Samora Pinderhughes, commemorates the 25th anniversary of that suspended moment—and all that has unfolded since. Jones, in collaboration with Pinderhughes, forge an intergenerational bridge as both artists search within themselves and their respective creative interests to meditate on loss, and their distinct responses to the 25-year aftermath of 9/11 and other cataclysms spiralling into our era of loss of freedom, speech, movement, and justice. Featuring performances from Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company and live musicians, Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! brings dance back to Lower Manhattan, shaped by resilience and the passage of time.
