The 18 New York City–based artists and collectives chosen for our third Open Call, the city’s largest interdisciplinary commissioning program for early-career artists across the visual and performing arts disciplines.

Each artist, who lives or works in the five boroughs, will create and present new work after being selected by The Shed along with 67 external industry professionals and artists from across disciplines. The artists presenting in 2023 and 2024 create work in disciplines from drag performance and sculpture to filmmaking and poetry, each proposing care- and community-based responses to the urgent issues of our time.

An exhibition this October will present 10 artworks by artists Minne Atairu, Jake Brush, Cathy Linh Che & Christopher Radcliff, Armando Guadalupe Cortés, Lizania Cruz, Bryan Fernandez, Luis A. Gutierrez, Calli Roche, Jeffrey Meris, and Sandy Williams IV, who bring personal stories intersecting with global history to the Level 2 Gallery.

In summer 2024, the remaining eight commissions will feature immersive, multidisciplinary performances in our Griffin Theater by Kyle Dacuyan, The Dragon Sisters, Kayla Hamilton, Nile Harris, NIC Kay, Asia Stewart, Yaa Samar! Dance Theatre, and Garrett Zuercher.

Admission is free to all 
Open Call events. Tickets will be announced later this year.

IABD Receives National Medal of Arts

The International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD) is proud to receive the National Medal of Arts. Through teaching, training, and performance, The International Association of Blacks in Dance promotes dance by people of African ancestry and origin, explores and exchanges art, spans cultures and generations, and enriches the dance culture of America.

“Receiving this National Medal of Arts award is a significant milestone in the history of this organization. It acknowledges the work, years of dedication by so many and endless contributions of Black people in Dance. We are so honored!” said Denise Saunders Thompson, President and CEO of The International Association of Blacks in Dance. “The current climate in our country has us more closely examining access and opportunity, body image, cultural integration vs. cultural appropriation, policymaking, mental health and well-being, philanthropy, and a host of other issues. There is no discipline that nurtures and sparks the ability to imagine, unleashes creativity and innovation, and offers promise as a powerful catalyst for change, more than arts, culture and humanities. They challenge dominant narratives in ways that other media cannot, yet connect us to each other, move us to action, and unify our collective voices. Art engages the soul.”

On Tuesday, March 21 at 4:30pm ET, President Biden will host an East Room ceremony at the White House to present the 2021 National Humanities Medals and the 2021 National Medals of Arts. Dr. Biden will attend the ceremony as well, which will be available to view via live stream at www.whitehouse.gov/live.

Jordan Demetrius Lloyd
Mar. 9-11
Danspace Project

Lloyd’s new evening-length work, Blackbare in the Basement, promises to “…transform Danspace’s sanctuary inside St. Mark’s Church into a site of fantasy and textural collage. Lloyd returns to presenting work in a theater for the first time since the pandemic, organizing his desires around choreographic and visual design, storytelling, philosophy, and various contemporary performance aesthetics.”  For Blackbare in the Basement, “Lloyd divides an eight person ensemble into an amalgamation of solos, duets, and trios that are threaded together to produce experiences of calculated entropy and disorientation via an intuitive shifting of language and logic,” according to the release.  Lloyd further explains, “Within the nuances of the movement vocabulary, there is an intuitive shifting of language and logic between the groupings which allows for experiences of otherworldliness.” Find out more here
