Ethan James Green, whose fashion shoots have appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Another Man, and whose portraits of New York's millennial queer scene-makers have been compared to the work of Diane Arbus, joins three of his collaborators in a June 19 conversation at BAM. Green, who moved to New York as a teenager to work as a model, took up photography under the mentorship of the late David Armstrong. In the past three years, he has been photographing his close friends and community in the Lower East Side. Now collected as Young New York, these portraits depict a gloriously diverse cast of models, artists, designers, nightlife icons, and gender binary-flouting muses to the fashion world and beyond. In Aperture Conversations: Young New York, Green and three of his subjects and collaborators-Dara Allen, Marcs Goldberg, and Matt Holmes-will have a wide-ranging discussion about beauty, portraiture, and the legacies of queer and trans representation 50 years after the Stonewall uprising. It will be moderated by Michael Schulman, arts and culture writer for The New Yorker and contributor to Young New York.

This industrial Eden will not end well. And end badly it does, as playwright Lynn Nottage tightens the grip of the catastrophe step by slow step. We all know the historical outlines of the story enough to have a general idea what to expect: management ready to break unions to exact wage and benefits concessions, scab laborers, jobs exported abroad, plant closures, mortgage foreclosures, destitution, opioids. But Nottage renders this familiar tale powerful and surprising.

Irish Arts Center (IAC) has reached a critical milestone in its plans to build a new permanent home in New York for the evolving arts and culture of contemporary Ireland and Irish America. In the City on the eve of St. Patrick's Day, Ireland's Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, today announced $2.5 million in support for the New Irish Arts Center, bringing Irish government funding for the facility to $8.3 million and the Center's Almost Home capital campaign over the $60 million mark (to $60.5 million). The New Irish Arts Center comprises two buildings: a state-of-the-art new facility that will be constructed at 726 11th Avenue, and a renovation of the Center's intimate current home, adjoining the new building, at 553 West 51st Street. Phase I of construction, the new building on 11th Avenue, is now completely funded and ready to begin. IAC continues to raise an additional $15 million for the second phase of the project—transformation of the 51st Street venue—and to create a long-term programming fund and endowment, securing the future of the organization.

Eyewitness accounts describe Mr. Beigel's final moments, where he brought students to safety while shielding them from a barrage of gunfire, saving their lives while placing his own life in jeopardy. The parents will be speaking at the vigil along with local students of the school in which Scott attended.
