Greenmarket's gateway to the Upper West Side, the Tucker Square Greenmarket, offers locally grown produce just across the street from Lincoln Center. Seasonal vegetables range from fresh staples like corn and greens to delicacies like squash blossoms and fairtytale eggplant. Orchards boast sweet berries, stone fruit, and over 80 varieties of apples. Knowledgeable growers are at market to explain just how to care for their plants, flowers, and herb pots indoors and out.  Impeccable farmstead cheeses, fresh seafood, grass fed beef, eggs, artisanal baked goods, and New York's only producer of both sorghum and maple syrup round out the offerings.

An ongoing exhibition of the Museum’s growing permanent collection of over 3,500 objects, Craft Front & Center features a fresh installation of more than 60 historic works and new acquisitions dating from the golden age of the American Craft movement to the present day. Organized into themes of material transformation, dismantling hierarchies, contemplation, identity, and sustainability, the exhibition illuminates how the expansive field of craft has broadened definitions of art.

Established at the Museum’s beginning in 1956, MAD's permanent collection was the vision of Museum founder, Aileen Osborne Webb, the collector and philanthropist who pioneered an understanding of craft and the handmade as a creative driving force of art and design. With the aim of broadening access to the collection's holdings, Craft Front & Center will be periodically updated with new displays of rarely seen works and recent additions, as well as inspiration for hands-on workshops and off-site field trips.

Material Witness: Folk and Self-Taught Artists at Work will be on view at the American Folk Art Museum from March 17, 2023, through October 29, 2023. Organized into four distinct sections, the exhibition will explore how artists learn with and through material engagement, often in ways that evade and exceed conventional frameworks for artistic training.

One section will highlight artistic practices that respect and respond to the properties of regionally-sourced materials. Featured are works by artists including Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Ammi Phillips, and Jesse Aaron, as well as examples of earthenware, fraktur, and watercolor paintings. Another section will explore why makers gravitate to certain media and methods, such as sculpting, painting and textile-making, and consider what prompts changes to artistic approach over time.

The exhibition will also feature works that embody a striving towards healing, protection, and transcendence. Artworks by Minnie Evans, Martín Ramírez, and Lonnie Holley transform found and collected materials sourced from everyday objects into vehicles for communion with spiritual and otherwordly realms.

A man holding a mic squats on stage

Singer, composer, and multifaceted creator Joseph Keckler has been applauded by The New York Times as a "major vocal talent—phenomenal—with a trickster's dark wit." His eerie, poetic songs and bizarrely heroic operatic arias, chronicling his own adventures and mishaps, have been seen everywhere from punk dives to hallowed music halls and NPR's Tiny Desk series. In this evening performance at the David Rubenstein Atrium, Keckler—joined by pianist Matthew Dean Marsh, violinist Lavinia Pavlish, and multi-instrumental Michael Hanf—will share recent and favorite works as well as songs from his forthcoming EP, releasing in early 2024.

A man looks into the camera

The Chilean painter, researcher, pedagogue, and modernist composer Carlos Isamitt Alarcón (1885-1974) began to make foundational contributions to Chilean arts institutions in the 1920s. As director of the School of Fine Arts in 1927, he launched an unprecedented reform in the teaching of visual and applied arts based on popular and indigenous practices which he had studied since the first decade of the 20th century. Later, in the 1930s, he spent long periods living together with indigenous Mapuche people in their territory, enabling him to compile a rich documentary collection of songs, dances, ceremonies, and musical instruments, among other community practices.

In this hybrid lecture/performance, the musicologist Freddy Chávez Cancino will be joined by pianist Elizabeth Mendieta and vocalists Belem Abraham and Claudia Leyton. They will share musical examples from Isamitt’s folkloric collections and discuss how these materials became the basis for new pedagogies of visual and musical arts, and for the creation of innovative musical works.
