The Clemente

Celebrate the free Latiné Children’s Musicat Annual Arte Pa’ Mi Gente Festival TODAY starting at 1pm at @the_clemente, featuring live performances and more! on.nyc.gov/3cRiLop MOME's proud to support this afternoon of festivities from @TeatroSEA. 🎶

A BTS look at our $13 million accessibility & renovation project 👇🏽 “ It’s being completed around the building’s current tenants, artists-in-residence, who will be temporarily displaced during key stages of construction” — @trdny today. This legislation would slash that timeline.

The Clemente serves our communities & with aging buildings we can't afford to find existing conditions found after design that delay our reopening for years. We need the right team on board up front & the right tool for every project to #BuildBetterNYC! bit.ly/4e8L5xL

I wrote about everything that culture means to our city, and the opportunity this administration must seize to meaningfully fund it. Read all about it and more on your daily Subway commute today 🗞️ or here ⬇️

A wonderful profile of our community at @theclemente and its history and legacy of artistic pluralism. Excited for an even more inclusive and accessible home for New York’s cultural workers to create new work and what’s to come!

This weekend, we joined @the_clemente to mark their #ThreeKingsDay 👑 celebration AND to break ground on a nearly $13 million renovation project that will make the building fully ADA compliant. This transformative project is proudly funded by @NYCulture and managed by @NYCDDC.

@LatinxProjNYU @TeatroSEA ❤️‍🔥

Never not grateful to wake up everyday and serve the community inside and outside the walls of @the_clemente every single day 💥

📣 Join us TOMORROW for our Borimix Closing Celebration, a LIVE @radajulieta and @unlocal immigrant holiday market! Bring diapers, and your gently used coats and our team will drop them off at @CarlinaRivera & @HarveyforNY offices for distribution to asylum seeking families.

Want to see a puppet show? I can pull a few strings. #puppetfringenyc is coming back after 2 years, this time, better, stronger, and maybe shedding a few puppet-tears! We can't wait!

There are still tix left to seeing Las Mariquitas, NYC’s only queer & trans salsa group, in the Flamboyan Theater Friday. Catch the exhibition AMIGX RADICALES while you’re at it, which explores Latinx Queer forms of collaborative work in contemporary art. bit.ly/3NubwBA

Our galleries and general building access will be closed to the public today due to the unsafe air quality conditions in the city. Please check in with individual organizations LATEA, Teatro SEA, and Capoeira regarding their after school and evening programming.

*** NYC is issuing a health advisory for today (Wednesday) in light of deteriorating air quality due to smoke from wildfires in Canada. *** * All NYers should limit outdoor activity and stay inside when possible. 1/

The Latinx Arts Consortium of NY (LxNY) thanks @NYCMayor for his timely & insightful decision to exempt arts & culture from the PEG plan to eliminate the gap in the FY24 budget. This move recognizes the value of this sector to the economy &to the overall welfare of NYC residents.

Last Friday we celebrated our community & the trailblazers that continue to inspire the work we champion, and got to catch @ritaindiana premiere of Tu Nombre Verdadero ✨ We raised more than $20,000 to keep The Clemente thriving. Gracias por tu apoyo, y pa’lante!

Over the last two decades, Rita Indiana has transformed into one of the Caribbean’s foremost cultural agitators. Her new performance explores the “weight that an artist’s name has when they die,” writes @jabladoraaa. nyti.ms/3ZYpwYl
