They combine innovation with art’s greatest strength – the ability to transcend boundaries and make an impact, while not relying solely on language. We would like to invite you to join together with many of today’s top contemporary artists, hundreds of volunteers, sponsors and grass roots organizers to send a loud message that the time has come to fix our ailing public school system.”

The film is a snapshot into New York, “the greatest city in the world” from the late-1970′s to mid-1980′s. With a failing economy, crime on the rise and massive housing corruption, New York became a city in crisis. During this time of social and economic quandary emerged a new class of musicians, artists and thinkers downtown. Downtown Calling examines the evolution of New York City’s music and art scene during this period and its lasting impact, which continues to drive today’s international fashion, art, and music. The film is narrated by the infamous Deborah Harry (Blondie) and includes commentary by Glenn O’Brien (Downtown81/TV Party), Sal Principato (Liquid Liquid), and Fab 5 Freddy, to name a few.
If you’re in New York, we highly recommend checking out the film.
Purchase a ticket here (ticket includes admission to the afterparty). Screening starts at 9PM.
Keys to cities are traditionally given by a mayor to a hero or dignitary, symbolizing that they can have free entrance to the city.
Paul Ramirez Jonas and Creative TIme in cooperation with the City of New York present a citywide public art project that allows every New Yorker and visitor to open spaces in all five boroughs. Thousands of New Yorkers will be awarded with a Key to the City that belongs to each and everyone of us. “Instead of being acknowledged for landing a plane in a river, we are awarded the key for perfect attendance in school. Instead of receiving an honor for winning the World Series, we receive the key because of the kindness we showed at the hospital. And with this new key, we gain an opportunity to step back and reflect on common space in the city. For not only does the key open up specific sites, but it can also make us aware that the city is a series of spaces that are locked or unlocked.”
Watch Paul Ramirez Jonas and Claire Bishop exchange keys to the city:
We are so excited about this project because it’s a fun adventure that enables you to take the time to explore the city. As you wait in line, you will receive a guidebook with information about each site the key opens. Who wouldn’t want to have a key to a lamp post in Bryant Park or to the tortilleria, Nixtamal in Corona, Queens?
If you’re in the New York area, take a trip to Times Square before June 27th and get your key!
Our Studio Manager, Katharine got a key to the city and we’ll be documenting her adventure on the blog! So keep checking back!
