Brooklyn Arts Community Gathers to Support ISSUE Project Room

Brooklyn Community Celebrates the City’s Future Home of Experimental Art - ISSUE Project Room @ 110 Livingston Street
Hundreds Gathered to Raise Funds at March 4th Benefit Concert

ISSUE Project Room’s
inaugural benefit at their future home — the architecturally and acoustically beautiful jewel-box theater at 110 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn — brought together an array of artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers in celebration of longtime supporter Elliott Sharp’s 60th birthday. Over 250 attendees helped raise approximately $80,000 and enjoyed the first public preview of the innovative concepts for the new space. Supporters ranged from Jo Andres, Steve Buscemi, Robert Longo, Aidan Quinn, and Nanette Lepore, to Elliott Sharp, JACK and Sirius Quartets, Jack Womack, and Tracie Morris.

The March 4th benefit celebrated the 60th birthday of the prolific composer, innovator, and guitar virtuoso Elliott Sharp. Bookended by a reception and after-party, the program was hosted by ISSUE Art Advisory Board Member Jo Andres and Board Member Steve Buscemi, and featured the world premiere of Sharp’s Occam’s Razor, a double string quartet commissioned for the event and performed by JACK and Sirius. The event included collaborations among Sharp, Andres, & Buscemi, as well as between Sharp and writers Tracie Morris and Jack Womack. According to Buscemi, “Brooklyn has really become a cultural center for music, art and theatre. ISSUE Project Room supports and fosters artists here in Brooklyn, where they live and work.”
