A new website is under construction and will be launched this winter!

In 2010 you will see rising stars onstage with internationally recognized luminaries; artists from different disciplines exchanging ideas and perspectives; and first-time collaborations and conversations with the people who are changing the face of the performance art world. Artists such as Toshi Reagon, Somi, Ralph Lemon, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, Nora Chipaumire & Thomas Mapfumo, along with many others, will be part of 651 ARTS’ 21st season of live performance, community engagement and exchange with Africa.

Since its founding in 1988, 651 ARTS has been committed to developing, producing and presenting performance and cultural programming rooted in the African Diaspora, with a primary focus on contemporary performing arts. 651 ARTS serves the cultural life of New York City, with a particular focus on Brooklyn, one of America’s most culturally diverse communities.
