On July 23, 2014, we presented our 12th annual show, Closed: NYC Shuts Its Doors To Artists, at Theatre 80 on St. Marks Place. Poets premiered new works about how New York City is no longer a haven for artists. Poets included Tara Bracco, Andy Emeritz, Vaimoana Niumeitolu, Scottt Raven, Shetal Shah, Pamela Sneed, and Justin Woo. The show was funded with a gift by Robin Stern and with support from several individuals in our community who generously donated to make this show happen this year.
