THE VENUES

NEW YORK LIVE ARTS

219 W 19th St, New York, NY 10011

New York Live Arts is a center of diverse artists devoted to body-based investigation that transcends barriers between and within communities led by world-renowned choreographer, dancer, theater director and writer, Bill T. Jones and home to the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company. Live Arts is an internationally recognized destination for innovative movement-based artistry offering audiences access to art and artists notable for their conceptual rigor, formal experimentation and active engagement with the social, political and cultural currents of our times.

 

All guests will be required to provide proof of full vaccination and a government issued ID before entry, and wear a mask when in any part of the building. Accepted proofs of vaccination are Excelsior Pass, NYC COVID Safe App, or valid vaccine card. “Fully vaccinated” means the event date must be at least 14 days after the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, or at least 14 days after a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.

ONX STUDIOS

645 Fifth Ave Olympic Tower,
New York, NY 10022

ONX Studio is an accelerator, a subsidized workspace and presentation gallery located in the Onassis Gallery of Olympic Tower, the Midtown Manhattan headquarters of Onassis USA. Set to open during fall 2020, it will house a dozen artists and producers, including NEW INC alumni and others working in extended reality, for a year-long term to develop significant works for the public realm. The studio space will also transform into a extended reality gallery every year for a month-long showcase featuring ONX members. The first showcase is planned for winter 2020/2021.

The Invisible Dog Arts Center

 51 Bergen St, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The Invisible Dog is dedicated to the integration of innovation in the arts with profound respect for the past. In 2009, the building was restored for safety reasons, but special attention was given to the preservation of its original 1863 form. The rawness of the space is vital to our identity. The ground floor is used for exhibitions, performances and public events featuring visual artists, performers and curators from around the world. The second and third floors are divided into over 30 artists’ studios and are integral to the vast creative community of the Invisible Dog
