Program for August 31st Gelato! Art Salon coming soon!
|
Important info: This last event at the Loft is unique in that as Gary is moving out that weekend, the space might be totally empty of tables chairs, couch, etc, so everything we we bring in has to be gone either the same night or early the next morning. Please keep that in mind when submitting art or performance pieces. The roof is available to perform, as long as we keep it limited to a controlled area, and smaller mobile art is welcome, but number of art piece accepted to show will be limited due to the above requirements. Self contained performance art & dance is very welcome, and film / videos will be show in the back room area with a popcorn machine!! Thank you : )) |

Who can participate? We will be opening the space to artists and performers who would also organize their own short segment of half hour, and market it to their crowd. Self contained shows and curated events are welcome! Independent curators, producers and programmers are welcome to sell tickets to their own events or workshops ( yoga / dance classes, editing, tarot cards, etc) and give a percentage to The Gelato! Art Collective and The Walworth Loft , who will provide the space and the times and help with logistics. Vendors are also welcome to sell their handcrafted wares in select areas at different times during the events. We will get in touch with you within a day or two of receiving your email to let you know if your proposal has been accepted into the mini festival and for which date. |
Why are we doing this? Here's the news: Gary Campbell from the The Walworth Loft decided amicably with his landlord to leave and vacate the loft @ 178 Walworth st. He asked me to organize some Gelato! events and I agreed with him that it would be a great way to close the space out. All of us who came through the lofts events have grown a lot and expanded, artistically and socially, since that happy meeting of minds beginning on January 11th, 2009. We've organized or participated in shows, workshops and events in Italy, Germany, Africa, and in different venues around New York City, such as the Figment Festival on Governors Island, NOoSPHERE Arts and Chelsea Art Museum. We've collaborated with hundreds of artists from all over the world. Now it's time to look back and pay homage to the space that was the incubator for our fun collective. And to Ourselves for the choices we made since then. Let's celebrate!!! |
