West Side Fest

Join us and our neighboring cultural institutions for West Side Fest on September 30, 2023.

The West Side Cultural Network—a group of more than 18 museums, parks, performing arts centers, and cultural institutions located within a half-mile portion of historic New York—is presenting a day of free admission, special indoor and outdoor programming, crafts for kids, artmaking for all ages, an evening dance party, and more to welcome all New Yorkers to the culturally vibrant western edge of Manhattan. CARA will be hosting the opening of Ligia Lewis: study now steady, the first solo exhibition of artist and choreographer Ligia Lewis. The opening will feature live performances and more!

The neighborhood includes organizations that have been on the West Side for decades as well as newer arrivals with more to come. Many of our neighbors will be celebrating the West Side with events and activities.
