El Teatro @ El Museo Del Barrio

Join us for this year’s electrifying series of free summer block parties, co-presented by the Museum of the City of New York and proudly sponsored by The Legal Aid Society. This event celebrates The Legal Aid Society’s 150th Anniversary, honoring its enduring commitment to protecting, defending, and advancing the rights of New Yorkers.

Spend an evening looking, making, and experimenting at El Museo del Barrio. Inspired by Sophie Rivera: Double Exposures, this Open Studio begins with a guided gallery experience and continues with hands-on art-making and time to explore your own creative ideas.

Discover artist books, zines, poetry, and experimental publishing at this family-friendly celebration inspired by Octopus & Others: Acts of Collaboration & Poetics. Part book fair, part art-making studio, and part community gathering, the event invites visitors to explore the many ways artists use books as creative tools.
