Register to attend here!

There is an incredible array of sites in the area south of Union Square that are connected to the great artists and art movements of the last century and a half. Jackson Pollock and Isamu Noguchi got their start here. The New York School of artists, who shifted the center of the art world from Paris to New York, flourished here in the mid-20th century. 

This program will take you on a virtual tour to some of the historic buildings where renowned artists lived and worked throughout the 20th century. These buildings, where countless artists left their indelible marks on the global art scene, are also architecturally significant in their own right. 

Time: 6:00 p.m.
Zoom Webinar

Hosted by AFFCNY & Spence-Chapin

New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest in Paris, Texas, a profoundly moving character study written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Sam Shepard. Paris, Texas follows the mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton, whose face is a landscape all its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son, living with his brother (Dean Stockwell) in Los Angeles, and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.

Admission: $35 (general admission, includes museum admission), free for members.

Doors open at 6:30PM. Get your tickets here!
