Upstate Art Weekend Began at PS21 with a Jeremy Nedd Performance
PS21, the celebrated center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, kicked off Upstate Art Weekend with a special celebration last Thursday. The evening featured a performance by Brooklyn and Switzerland–based choreographer Jeremy Nedd, and offered a chance for artists, curators, and cultural leaders from across the region and beyond to connect. The party also served as a preview of PS21's upcoming summer season, which will run for the next four months and include performances, installations, and festivals from international artists exploring American culture's past, present, and future.
