ABOUT
The New Arts Foundation is pleased to present High as the Sky, a group art exhibition that thinks critically in a way that advances positions rather than restating them. How can we keep our eye on the past and present, while also believing in the future? Is it possible? Is it useful? Specifically, the makers in High as the Sky use art as an energy that invites us, provokes us, and creates space for us to grow.
Join us for the reception on Saturday from 5-9p for performances, live music, free merch, rated-R super-glam, & admission to the afterparty at Las Perlas WeHo (a 3-minute walk from Great Hall/Long Hall).
Otherwise, stop by anytime between 11a-5p all weekend.

IMPACT
Art can be an engine of creativity, community, and commerce: the production of High as the Sky has supported over 150 jobs and involved thousands of work hours.
Additionally, 10% of ticket sales will be donated to The Trevor Project, a West Hollywood-based suicide prevention and mental health organization for LGBTQ youth.
High as the Sky presents a radical and sustainable model to supporting the arts. One that embraces community & inclusion, prioritizes ephemerality, and unifies disciplines otherwise treated as distinct.
Beneficiary
This project is supported in part by an arts grant from the City of West Hollywood.
