"The clothing we wear often is linked to human trafficking. It's estimated that 98% of clothing was made with exploited labor or straight up child labor. As a fashion designer, I take a stand to do the exact opposite of this. For over a decade, my company, Elegantees, has been employing survivors of human trafficking, and women that were at risk, to make the clothing. The redemptive workshop in Kathmandu, Nepal is restoring lives, one elegant tee at a time" - K.M

A space where we inspire, equip, and celebrate Christian marketplace leaders of color.
Just because you love Jesus doesn’t mean you have to work for a church. And having an interest in the marketplace, entrepreneurship, or small business doesn’t remove your ability to have Kingdom impact. Like the tax collector and fishermen, Jesus found many of us while we were working—But instead of commanding us to shift careers, He altered what we’d fish for. And this is why There Will Be Fruit exists.

Join us for an uplifting evening of conversation about art and faith at the Gallery at W83! In conjunction with the current exhibit "Of Bucking The Darkness", we invite you to a panel featuring Jennifer Ahn, Corey Hayes, and Chelsea Horvath. How does one, as an artist in NYC, maintain hope and resilience in the face of life's challenges?

Our esteemed Artist-in-Residence, renowned violinist Stella Chen, will be performing two captivating violin concertos by Mozart. Opening with the sophisticated 1st Violin Concerto, followed by her collaboration with celebrated violist Matthew Lipman to deliver the audience-favorite Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola. Under the direction of Dongmin Kim, NYCP is poised to bring Haydn's vivacious Symphony No. 43, Mercury, to life.

This art exhibit features the work of Jennifer Ahn, Corey Hayes, and Chelsea Horvath-Black whose works in painting and photography offer distinctive viewpoints and experiences.
How art helps to resist and overcome the multi-layers of loss in life through uncommon perspectives of hope and renewal.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the magic of their performances in person. Martin Stoner's captivating sound and Eileen Buck's talented musicianship will surely leave you mesmerized. Enjoy a night filled with great music and good vibes.

A classical, chamber music concert in the sanctuary featuring musicians from the New York Philharmonic and pianist Eileen Buck.

"Show Up and Show Out", is an exhibition by AHRC NYC’s Artists who attend the Fisher Center, a day program that serves adults with intellectual disabilities in East Harlem. Fisher offers a multitude of activities and interest groups, including an art studio and a fiber and weaving program. The staff at the FIsher Center encourages the artists to pursue their unique creative visions in various media, including yarn, colored pencil, markers, paint and collage.

The interests of the artists span a broad range of subject matter, including portraits, flowers, cartoon characters, famous singers and movie stars, letters, geometry and abstraction. A love of color is a central theme of the work. Some of the artists prefer to create their work from reference images, which include everything from masterpieces of art history to contemporary photographs.

Through their artwork, the artists gain a sense of purpose, accomplishment and self-esteem. They also find a sense of community in the art studios at the center as the artists work together to realize their projects. The artists are passionate about their work, which brings a sense of pride not only to themselves but also to their family and friends.

We hope this exhibition shows that creativity lives in everyone, and that all people bring their own aesthetic sensibility to the world. The artists' diverse visions can bring great pleasure to viewers, who can enjoy a new visual experience.

The weaving program at Fisher is a collaboration with Intertwine Arts, a nonprofit that brings freeform weaving to people of all ages.
