It's been a very long time since we sent email to this group and you
may have forgotten that it even exists! However, since you signed up
because of your interest in Interstitial Arts Foundation salons in the
past, I thought you should know about this:


You are cordially invited to the Interstitial Arts Foundation's first
monthly salon to be held in New York City on June 26th and every 4th
Tuesday thereafter.

What is a Salon?

Literary and artistic salons started back in 17th century France, when
inspiring hosts and hostesses gathered "stimulating people of quality"
together to refine their taste and increase their knowledge through
conversation. Today there may be fewer wealthy patrons willing to host
an event in their townhouses, but there is always a need for artists
to meet other artists, to explore other circles of creative influence,
to cross borders.

Our salon aims to bring together writers, visual artists, musicians,
performance artists, crafters, academics and other people of quality
in New York City for a relaxed evening of conversation.

Who Are The Hosts?

The Interstitial Arts Foundation is a not–for–profit organization
dedicated to the study, support, and promotion of interstitial art:
literature, music, visual and performance art found in between
categories and genres — art that crosses borders.

IAF members will wear Host badges, so if you have any questions about
the salon or the organization or you just need someone to safely begin
a conversation with, you can find us easily.

Where & When?

The Vagabond Café @ 7 Cornelia Street, Tuesday June 26, 7pm to 10pm -
drop in any time.

Vagabond is the kind of café one would expect to find in the West
Village, especially if you're a writer, student or musician, but
rarely seen these days due to the proliferation of Starbucks-like
entities. It's a cozy spot where one can find live music Wednesday -
Saturday evenings, beer, wine and mead every evening, and a long list
of excellent crepes at all times.

Should I Bring Anything?

Calling cards, business cards, postcards, CDs or other things you can
hand people to remind them that they met you and where they can find
your work.

If you're a musician, bring your MP3 player/iPod or a USB key with
your music and we'll play it during the salon.

If you're a visual artist, bring digital images of your work on a USB
key and we'll add it to the slideshow that plays during the salon.

What If I Can't Make It This Time?

No worries! We'll be hosting a salon every month on the 4th Tuesday,
usually at Vagabond. To get reminders, please join our Facebook group
or stay subscribed to this mailing list.
