A LEGACY WORTH CELEBRATING
Echoes of the Future
Echoes of the Future is more than an anniversary — it’s a living archive, a homecoming (Brooklyn in the house!), and a collective invocation of what’s to come. For 25 years, Hi-ARTS has championed visionary artists whose voices are too often excluded from the American art and theatrical canon.
Echoes of the Future is a celebration of our legacy and our future. Echoes of the Future is a reflection of our past, a celebration of our present, and a collective call for what's to come. We take pride in nurturing and providing artists of the global majority with time, space, and resources to create — and we’ve been doing it for twenty five years.
Hi-ARTS Understands the Culture. Hi-ARTS Creates the Culture. Hi-ARTS is the Culture.
This evening will also celebrate and honor three prolific artists in the New York City creative community. Featuring live performances and two DJs to keep the party rocking, we will recognize the talent that we serve while celebrating all that we’ve accomplished in the last 25 years.
