Tidings from EFA Project Space!

September 2011

Dear Friends of EFA Project Space:

As we shake off the sweet pangs of the fading summer and charge up for our favorite season, I want to personally share with you some of the special things that have been happening here. This summer may have gone by in a blink, but not without a number of rich chapters: our space and our calendar were filled with artists' visions of water navigation both imagined and realized; we welcomed the induction of our second group of artists into the Studio Residency for NYC Arts Workers; and we fed off the energy from the inspiring launch of our participation-driven Artist/Organizer series. 

We jumped right into the fall last week with the opening of iraqimemorial.org, the exhibition of a compelling and impassioned project and collective platform several years in the making; and we are plugging away at the finishing touches of our next venture involving translation, concrete poetry, Telephone Journal, Ugly Duckling Presse, and a group of intrepid and innovative artists and poets...

I hope to see you this season. In the meantime, please read on!

-Michelle Levy, Director, EFA Project Space Program
