NYC Cultural Calendar | 10 Unmissable Art Events in Summer 2014:



 "Culture | Celebrate Brooklyn!

June - August



Founded in 1979, Celebrate Brooklyn! is one of New York City’s longest-running, free outdoor festivals and in its 35-year history the event has hosted performances – ranging from music and dance to theatre and spoken word – by over 2,000 artists reflective of Brooklyn’s cultural diversity. Celebrate Brooklyn! was launched with the dual purpose of establishing a performing arts scene in Brooklyn while helping to regenerate the neglected Prospect Park, where much of the festival takes place, and has become one of the city’s most popular cultural attractions drawing in around 250,000 visitors each year. Music performances this year come from R&B sensation Janelle Monae and recently reformed bluegrass band Nickel Creek, while the festival’s dance parties, held at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, will include sets from Israeli electronic outfit Balkan Beat Box and DJ JD Samson.

American Stories: Rivka Galchen and Karen Russell | The New York Public Library:



"The fiction writers Rivka Galchen and Karen Russell, whose most recent book is Vampires in the Lemon Grove, talk about Galchen’s new collection of stories, American Innovations."



 "I've always simply loved the New York Public Library, so arguably my motivation for going there that day was not just to find more information but also to be comforted, to see the light pouring in through the enormous windows in broad cones as if from giant parallel movie projectors. Maybe-- but really the meekest of maybes-- I was pursuing the sense I used to have as a child, when I'd see the illuminated dust shimmering and winking and-- this was back when the library was always warm-- I'd feel myself safe in the bellly of an enormous and unknowable beast." - from Rivka Galchen's Atmospheric Disturbances

Join NYPL in welcoming Rivka Galchen on June 3. The author will discuss her newest book American Innovations with Karen Russell.http://on.nypl.org/1ki6jtu
