The Culture Shed

I wonder if Manhattan needs another culture venue? Perhaps it should have gone to one of the other boroughs? Maybe this will be a future venue for The Tony Awards?

When the details of Michael R. Bloomberg’s last capital budget as mayor were made final in June, one project stood out in particular: a $50 million appropriation for a nascent arts organization, the Culture Shed.

It is New York City’s biggest cultural capital grant this year — and an unusually generous contribution to an arts group that has yet to hire staff members, stage a performance or set a construction budget.

Bringing this one back because I became a subscriber about a month ago and am really looking forward to what looks - on paper - like an exciting and diverse inaugural season for this new space.

I already got my tickets to Björk’s Cornucopia, Norma Jean Baker of Troy, and Dragon Spring Phoenix Rise and plan to see more, but curious if there’s any buzz around these parts for any of it? I assume a large portion of you got the mailer for the season a couple months back.

Nice article in the Times last month about it. Some interesting things planned.

Just got my tickets for Bjork's Cornucopia. I just saw that John Tiffany is no longer attached. Does anyone know what happened?

Also, does anyone know if Sia is writing new material for Dragon Spring Phoenix Rise or if it will be comprised of her already written work? Updated On: 2/20/19 at 10:43 AM

John Tiffany backed out due to scheduling conflicts. Not surprising, considering how in-demand he is at the moment.

I don’t believe there’s any new music Sia is contributing since the website just says “featuring remixed versions.”
