Art Workers Are Artists Too / Performance Space New York’s Annual Holiday Party

Art Workers Are Artists Too is a program performed, run, and designed by technicians, designers, front of house, and other art workers who work at Performance Space New York. Organized and curated by our Technical Director Andy Sowers, the program is a “thank you” to those who help shape the performances and events we present each season. Now in its 6th year, we invite performers to reflect on their time at Performance Space New York and share work that speaks to both sides of their practice—as artists and as art workers.

Art Workers Are Artists Too culminates with Performance Space New York’s Annual Holiday Party.

HOLE PICS presents Performance Space New York’s Annual Holiday Party

HOLE PICS brings you the downtown experimental performance art party of the holiday season, presented in conjunction with Mandy Harris Williams‘ Critique Cabaret, a performance lecture blending pop culture, theory, and cabaret.

HOLE PICS is a performance art collective and event series, founded by MTHR TRSA and produced by Buffy Sierra, that gathers an array of queer subcultures with entrancingly intimate and bombastic avant-pop productions. HOLE PICS (yes, those kind) pulls its name from the intimacy and exposition of sharing the most private parts of ourselves with others. holepics.live
