Blue Door Art Center brings the arts to underserved communities in Westchester County through exhibitions, educational programs and workshops, public art projects, poetry readings and performances, and special events.
During its six-month Community Arts Residency, Blue Door will present a performance by The Jazz and Poetry Choir Collective (J&PCC). The J&PCC held its inaugural performance in May 2011 at the Cornelia Street Cafe in Greenwich Village. Its current group of musicians and poets will come together to share original pieces and pay homage to previous performers who have worked with poetry and jazz improvisation. J&PCC members bring experience and playfulness to the concert stage, taking the art of spoken word fused with jazz to a new level. During the performance, audience members will have a chance to interact with the J&PCC and experience spontaneous musical and poetic creations.
The performance will be followed by a reception with special access to the DR Center gallery, currently showing Portraits of Process.
The community arts residency is supported by the RBF Culpeper Arts & Culture program and The Pocantico Center.
