Thank you @flybynightdance for inviting us to perform in this year's NY Aerial Dance Festival. It was so fun and inspiring to meet and see so many aerial and floor artists in one show.

Public art across NY CIty from the subway murals to the streets and more.
It makes me happy. We need more cities to pay attention to offering more art.
DAY 3: Off day
Ahhhh, New York City is a perfect place to be if you want more art in your life. Today i started the day by going to The Natl Arts Club. It is a historic New York City cultural institution founded in 1898 to promote public interest in the arts, located in the Tilden Mansion (once owned by Gov Tilden of NY) on Gramercy Park. It is a private members' club but offers free public programs and opens the gallery for viewing. I loved the photography of Harry Benson. The club is known for its historic building, diverse art collection, and for being a pioneer in supporting multiple art forms and admitting women with full privileges early on.
Next, I had the best vegan sushi lunch at Planta. ❤️
After that I met up with friends ( Richard Oaxaca and Keith ) to see the Broadway show "Moulin Rouge" at the Hershfield Theater. What a great show. Then finally back in Brooklyn for my last dinner with Karen Potter and Gary. What a perfect ending to a perfect day.
Off line tomorrow as I fly back to California.
Thank you to all my NY friends and artists that made this trip so rich and amazing. Thank you Julie Ludwick of @flybynightdance for hosting a fabulous Festival.
DAY 2 in New York
Today is the Aerial Festival. I met some amazing aerialists, saw a big variety and great work. The whole day was spent in the theater although I got to sit for a moment and look out the window in the lobby of The 5 Angels Theater. (Last photo)
The 1st couple of photos are of Helium and Richard performing in Karen Potter's work and the next few are of KC and Helium performing my work. Great to see friends and family at the show.
