Silk Road Arts Salon (Off-Site) (Diamond Match Project)

Note: This is an off-site event, located at:

The Armory, 149 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

The Silk Road Arts Salon brings together artists working within living traditions of the cultures that met along the routes of the Silk Road. These were crossroads where music, movement, craft, and story moved between hands and generations, arriving as one of history's most far-reaching artistic inheritances. The series honors these legacies through performance, demonstration, and conversation, centering diasporic artists whose practices carry that long history into the present. The evening features live music, poetry, and the presentation of honorees, and serves as a fundraising benefit for the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art

The premiere salon will recognize and present New York City cultural stewards whose work embodies this living inheritance.
