Steve Cannon, the executive director of A Gathering of the Tribes, is a fighter, and right now he is battling to protect his home and the nonprofit 20-year-old multicultural arts organization that he and numerous other artists, writers, and musicians have spent building with him. Steve Cannon, who is blind and 76 years old, is being threatened with eviction from his apartment at 285 E. 3rd Street, 2nd Fl. New York City, New York, and as Steve and his lawyers fight his pending eviction, Tribes Gallery will maintain its position in the Lower East Side community showcasing visual art that is relevant and timely from established and emerging visual artists.
OCCUPY TRIBES NOW will present visual art that relates to housing and human rights issues.
The time is NOW because there are no guarantees that there will be a later for Steve Cannon or A Gathering of the Tribes.

OCCUPY TRIBES NOW
Dear Artists,
I would like to invite you to participate in the OCCUPY TRIBES NOW show at A Gathering of the Tribes gallery from February 17th to March 4th. A Gathering of the Tribes, a multi-cultural arts organization, was created in 1991 and has been a source of inspiration for a large and diverse group of young artists, musicians, and writers. Steve Cannon, the executive director who is blind, founded Tribes as a place to help emerging talents and display the diverse community of the Lower East Side. As some of you know, Steve Cannon is currently being threatened with eviction from his apartment at 285 E. 3rd Street, 2nd Fl. New York City, New York. As Steve and his lawyers fight to save Steve’s home and A Gathering of the Tribes, it is important that Tribes Gallery maintain its position in the community showcasing visual art in its gallery.
OCCUPY TRIBES NOW will present 2-D or 3-D work that relates to housing and human rights issues. All work should be priced to sell for between $50 and $100. The money from the sale of the work will be a donation made by the artist to help Steve Cannon and A Gathering of the Tribes with legal bills.
Note: There is no budget to cover shipping and handling costs at this time. Participating artists will be responsible for the delivery and pickup of their work.
Note: Participating artists will be asked to volunteer for gallery sitting hours.

285 E 3rd Street, 2nd Floor
beginning at 8pm
Rayvon Browne - the exploratory and sometimes semi-lewd freaky folk trio brain-child of Cal Folger Day and Morgan Heringer, with Joel Kruzic on upright bass
performs and presents
a night of top-notch songwriters seen around “the scene”
including
Solid Goold – Albert Goold and family, like if the Von Trapps were cool and could blow changes instead of just singing solfege
Matthew Silver – performance artist seen around Astor Place (the only place he’s allowed to busk without being accused of “disturbing the peace”), known to wear women’s clothing and literally lasso an audience
Free Advice – our good lookin friends from Swan Loft
Jim Flynn – gentle literary giant of the lower east side, knows how to spit a rhyme and have a good time
The Sneaky Mister – this young lady makes a ukulele look downright intelligent, and that’s no small task
This is a chance to check out Erin Carmody’s exhibit “Zero, Infinity, and the Guides” before it closes, and have a drink/smoke with legendarily infamous Steve “the blind guy” Cannon, Tribes’ director and resident couch-occupant.

WHAT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 15 2010
WHAT
A Lost and Found Art Show
August 2010 / with the annual Charlie Parker Festival
Reception with performances by Emily Hultman and her band, and Zachary King
Saturday August 14 7pm-10pm
A Gathering of the Tribes Gallery
285 E 3rd St. Second Floor New York 10009
LES/East Village, between Aves C and D near the F, L and 6 lines
This August, we celebrate how a gallery has become an orphanage for
lost art. The makers rejected their object offspring, forgot them, or mostly simply hoped this gallery could give them better, or gave in kind. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, epochs and climates, the objects attract questions about context and absurdity, and evidence many years of Tribes history. The abandoned pieces themselves draw away from the common notion of artists’ ownership and intent and rather forces an understanding of how the collective unconscious, intentional or not, can bring new appreciation for such works once placed in a home together. Each piece has its own life story to tell, and every viewer plays a large role in discovering it.
More than a few pieces remain from previous Charlie Parker Festivals, and the lively interplay of downtown styles celebrates the Bird and his generous lifestyle. The outcome of living for the sake of one’s art, whatever it may be, and pushing the boundaries of what that art can be, becomes most brilliantly weird in the periphery.
Works will be available for silent auction, prices based on whatever information was kept with the piece. At least one room will be all $0 to start, with $1 bid increments. Come help them reclaim their history and give them a loving home. Includes work by Chris Twomey, Hilary Maslon, and Emilio Cruz. Sales benefit Tribes.
