SUMMARY:GRUNT! An exhibition of works by Elliot Cowan - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Award winning International artist\, animator and film maker Elliot Cowan invites you to attend the opening of his first solo show GRUNT! in the United States. \nElliot presents a collection of paintings\, drawings\, sculptures\, and digital illustrations that chart 10 years of an Australian living in Queens and traveling through the Complicated States of America. \nImages inspired by traveling though the south\, New England and time spent in Philadelphia\, as well as a series of Australian iconography\, including tributes to Paul Kelly\, Deborah Conway and Mr Squiggle. \nhttp://www.elliotelliotelliot.com/ \nOpening reception is April 20 at 6pm and the show runs until May 13.\nThere will be drinks and nibbles and speeches and some other fun things to do.\nChildren very welcome. \nFlushing Town Hall is minutes away from the Flushing Main Street stations of both the subway and the LIRR. \nMore info here:\nhttp://www.flushingtownhall.org/event/82af25a5910223697da497e617977b55 \nGRUNT!\nGrunting is an important part of my artistic process.\nWhen I’m dragging cardboard out of the closet I give a grunt.\nIf I’m reaching across the table to drag my knife through the paper I give a grunt.\nEvery time I drop something on the floor I grunt to pick it up.\nIf I can’t unscrew the lid of the ink I gave a might grunt when I open it.\nWhen I finish a piece and I like it\, I give a satisfied grunt.\nIf it’s not coming together I give an annoyed grunt.\nOf course a “grunt” is often seen as an unskilled worker at the bottom of the ladder\, but without grunts doing all the heavy lifting then nothing would get done and I’m happy to be included in that group of diggers and haulers.\nI am also an immiGRUNT.\nAnd I am the child of immigrants.\nAnd my wife is the daughter of immigrants and my own children are the children of generations of immigrants.\nEven my parents are the grandchildren of immigrants.\nAnd all of the work in this show was done in Queens\, the world capitol of immigrants. \nAbout Flushing Town Hall:\nThe mission of Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts (FCCA) is to present multi-disciplinary global arts that engage and educate the global communities of Queens\, New York and New York City\, New York\, in order to foster mutual appreciation. As advocates of arts equity since 1979\, we support local\, immigrant\, national\, and international artists\, developing partnerships and collaborations that enhance our efforts.  \nAs a member of New York City’s Cultural Institutions Group (CIG)\, we serve as stewards of Flushing Town Hall\, restoring\, managing and programming the historic 1862 landmark on behalf of the City of New York. FCCA celebrates the history of Queens as the home of Jazz\, by presenting the finest in Jazz performance. We are committed to arts education and hands-on learning\, for the arts-curious\, arts enthusiasts\, and professional artists. We serve one of the most diverse communities in the world\, and strive to uphold the legacy of inclusiveness that has defined our community since the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657. \nOur Vision is to foster artistic excellence and innovation. We bring audiences together via high-quality arts exposure and experiences through programs in Jazz\, classical and world music\, theater\, dance and spoken word\, family and education programs\, senior programs\, exhibitions and free community events. Our multi-disciplinary programming reflects the diversity of our local community\, while introducing audiences to new art forms and genres\, and providing opportunities for artists to celebrate their traditional arts and create new work. \nFlushing Town Hall building mission Starting in 1990\, FCCA began a 9-year\, $8 Million restoration of historic Flushing Town Hall (FTH)\, a landmark (1862) owned by the City of New York\, transforming it into a thriving multi-disciplinary arts center that includes a 308-seat theater\, gallery\, garden\, classroom and rehearsal space. FCCA joined New York City’s Cultural Institutions Group (CIG) in 1995; part of its mission is to act as a steward of this historic building on behalf of the city. FCCA is also a Smithsonian Affiliate. In 2013 FCCA completed new renovations of the exterior garden and front portico of Flushing Town Hall\, and in 2014 completed an extensive interior renovation project\, which included new flooring in the 1st floor lobbies and gift shop\, new Heating\, Ventilation and Aair Conditioning (HVAC) systems\, and new floors\, seats\, risers\, and painting of the 2nd floor theater. \nFCCA bridges the past and present of Queens: Since its founding\, FCCA has been recognized as the foremost presenter of Jazz in Queens\, a borough that was the residence of many of the 20th century’s greatest Jazz artists\, including Louis Armstrong\, Duke Ellington\, Ella Fitzgerald\, Dizzy Gilespie\, Billie Holiday\, Benny Goodman\, Charles Mingus\, Count Basie\, John Coltrane\, and many more. FCCA celebrates this legacy not only with regular Jazz concerts featuring the masters of today\, but also through the Queens Jazz Trail Map\, which it developed\, through the Queens Jazz Orchestra\, which it founded\, and through regular Jazz Jams and clinics to train the next generation of artists.  \nAt the same time\, FCCA’s programming has evolved with the community around it\, with an increased focus on the arts and cultures of China and Korea in particular. To address these growing populations in the neighborhood\, FCCA has formed a Chinese Cultural Committee and a Korean Cultural Committee. FCCA has also expanded its programming to include arts from Latin America and South Asia. The hallmark of FCCA’s current programming is a cross-cultural focus: works that fuse or bridge different cultures\, as well as larger programs that bring together presentations of art forms from different parts of the world. This approach aims to engage diverse audiences in appreciation of each others’ rich cultural heritage\, fostering a mutual respect and understanding that can help to build community\, in an environment in which people from all over the globe share the same space.

SUMMARY:"This is What We Mean By Short Films" Rooftop Films Screening
DESCRIPTION:“Rooftop turns 21 this year. We’re legal\, but not playing it safe. On opening night\, we’re celebrating with our favorite stories from the moral grey zone: a mushroom of colorful balloons kills two before escaping to Canada\, an unnatural presence enters a tickle fight\, a subversive dance number takes down the patriarchy\, and a Russian circus meltdown is played in reverse. Like they say in our story of a robbery gone not-quite-wrong\, but more just ok\, “‘precitate ya!” See you at the after party!” \n \n\n\nEVENT DETAILS \n\n8:00 PM\nDoors Open\n\n\n8:30 PM\nLive Music\n\n\n9:00 PM\nFilms Begin\n\n\n10:30 PM\nAfter party sponsored by Corona\, Tanqueray and Fever Tree\n\nNo Refunds.

And then they get worse.\n\n\n\nMUSIC \nINNOV GNAWA\nInnov Gnawa is a young musical collective dedicated to exploring Morocco’s venerable gnawa music tradition in the heart of New York City. Formed in the summer of 2014 by Moroccan expat Samir LanGus\, the group draws on the considerable talents and expertise of Hassan Ben Jaafer\, a Maâlem\, or master gnawa musician\, originally from Fes\, Morocco. Under the guidance of Ben Jaafer\, Innov has delved deep into the roots and rituals of gnawa music\, and made a big splash in NYC\, playing some of the city’s most prestigious rooms including Lincoln Center\, Music Hall of Williamsburg\, Brooklyn Bowl and the storied backroom of Brooklyn’s Barbès. For the uninitiated\, gnawa music is the ritual trance music of Morocco’s black communities\, originally descended from slaves and soldiers once brought to Morocco from Northern Mali and Mauritania. Often called “The Moroccan Blues”\, gnawa music has a raw\, hypnotic power that’s fascinated outsiders as diverse as writer/composer Paul Bowles\, jazz giant Randy Weston and rock god Jimi Hendrix. The music is utterly singular\, played on an array of unique instruments — from the lute-like sintir that the Maâlem uses to call the tune\, to the metal qarqaba (castinets) with which the kouyos (chorus) keep time and pound out clattering\, hypnotic rhythms. Hailed by Brooklyn Magazine as one of the “”5 Bands You Need to Know in Brooklyn’s Arabic Music Scene””\, Innov Gnawa make great use of this traditional repertoire\, and add their own\, contemporary spin with additional African and Latin percussion. Taken as a whole\, this exciting new outfit works hard to fuse a centuries old North African tradition with the pulse and attitude of New York City.
