Wild Women of The Village: Paint, Poetry, Clay and Camera, walking tour

Behind every talented artist in Greenwich Village, there is… A powerful, talented and liberated Village woman! From Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney opening her studio in a former stable to a mysterious DaDA poet, artist and Baroness inventing (and getting arrested for) “wearable art,” and from Mabel Dodge’s wild all-night salons to the first exhibitions of revolutionary paintings by Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler, the Village and its environs would not be what it is today without women artists – and writers and photographers.

Reading the Declaration of Independence: A Conversation About Our Past and Present

Robert Snyder, Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Journalism at Rutgers University and former Manhattan Borough Historian, will lead our conversation.

Woody Guthrie’s Songs to Grow On

Woody Guthrie’s Songs to Grow On is a 40‑minute interactive theater experience created especially for children ages 2–5—yet delightful for audiences of all ages.

A brand-new show, it is based on an unpublished manuscript by Woody Guthrie and the 1956 album Songs to Grow On for Mother and Child. Original script by Frank Ruiz, with direction by Susanna Brock.

Each will do a 30-minute set. Come prepared to join in on the choruses as these four artists sing out for peace, human rights, and social justice.
