AFP’s Group Show Opens, New Art Ed Video, Membership Update

Thanks to all who attended our opening at Gallery Bar this past Friday. It was an exceptional night, and we were pleased to have many of the participating artists in attendance. The show will run through January 3rd. If you have the opportunity to check it out, please do. We also have some photos below for your viewing pleasure.

It’s been a very busy year for AFP. In March, we leased the Armory on Lexington Avenue in partnership with Fountain Art Fair to produce one of the largest art exhibitions in NYC during Armory Week. This past summer we hosted AFP’s first annual 3 day music & art festival- Brooklyn Beat Festival and then launched a 3 month series of music & performance art at the same venue.

In November, we were thrilled to host Michael Alan’s “Living Installation” and work with his crew of incredible artists. The show was a great success, and we look forward to working with Michael in the future.

To round out the year as we began, “What’s Your Religion” opened on Friday night at Gallery Bar. As mentioned above, the exhibition will run through January 3rd.

AFP’s Art Education Program continues to grow and flourish. We are currently working with 5 schools and hundreds of students providing music, visual art and theater classes. We just received this new promotional video that was created by Jewel Fiore, a college level film student.

As of January 1st 2013, AFP will no longer charge a fee for artist memberships. Applications will still need to be approved, but memberships will be free of charge upon approval.
