As mentioned in an earlier post, Ai New York City's event planning class (taught by Fashion Design faculty member Trina Morris) is currently hard at work, making preparations for their "Base Create: The AiNYC Holiday Bazaar". The blog has learned that there have been some new developments to these preparations and the Bazaar is shaping up to be a fun-filled exciting event for all!
"Base Create: The AiNYC Holiday Bazaar" will be held in the Ai New York City Gallery on Thursday, December 6 from 6:00-8:30 p.m. and again on Friday December 7th from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. We've been informed that the students have set up their own "Base Create: The AiNYC Holiday Bazaar" Twitter, Instagram (both are Base_Create) and Blog (BaseCreatePR) sites. In addition to offering unique accessories and outerwear for purchase, there will be plenty of music and refreshments while you shop.
So what are you waiting for? Start making your holiday shopping lists and mark your calendars for December 6-7 for "Base Create: The AiNYC Holiday Bazaar"! Not only will you whittle down that shopping list, you will be helping our students learn valuable business and event planning skills!

REAL ART WAYS - SOLO EXHIBITION, HARTFORD, CT
Zachary has another solo exhibition at Real Art Ways in Hartford, Connecticut featuring a new installation work created for Real Art Ways. The exhibition runs now through November 4, 2012 and the Gallery is located at 56 Harbor St. in Hartford, CT (http://www.realartways.org/visualarts.htm#fabri).
DISCUSSION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, NY

The Conversation will begin in the Met's galleries and continue in the Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education. This will all take place on Saturday, September 29 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. beginning in Gallery 534 (Velez Blanco Patio). The Metropolitan Museum of Art is located at 1000 Fifth Ave. (81st St.), New York, NY 10028 http://www.metmuseum.org/events/programs .
"CHOSEN" - GROUP EXHIBITION, NEW YORK, NY
Zachary also has been selected to participate in "Chosen" a group exhibition at the Artgate Gallery in New York City. The exhibition will run from October 4 through November 10 with an opening reception on October 4 from 6-8 p.m. The exhibition features the work of 14 artists who were selected by a panel of eight internationally acclaimed artists. The artists work in a variety of mediums but the majority of the works included in the exhibition are drawings as the drawings play a significant role in the process and purposes of each artist's production. The Artgate gallery is located at 520 West 27th St., Suite 101, New York, NY 10001 www.artgateny.com
"A MOVEMENT IN TIME: ALPHABET CITY" PERFORMANCES - NEW YORK, NY

These sequences will be inspired by the physical movement of pedestrians in Alphabet City. Zachary outlines "responding to the site-specific cultural traditions, political history and social environment, the performance summons the narratives of early hip-hop culture. http://www.artinoddplaces.org/artist.php?subj=202
