Our mission is to expose, through words, images, music,
comedy and performance the transcribed hopes, dreams, visions, and breakthroughs
of the underground arts scene of early Post-Millennial New York City.
We believe that by curating spaces - stage, virtual and in print - where
people are supported and listened to we will build a community of artists
and audience working towards the true equality of humankind. We believe
in outreach, inclusion, equality, respect for women, for minorities, and
for the LGBT community. We are all human and we all matter. A commitment
of the artist to connecting to community and audience enriches both and
the smallest performance can make a difference to one.
So here we stand, keeping art an integral part of the culture of the city
and humanity, art as an informed voice, performance as a place to connect.
All of it about the heart and soul of a person, not the bottom line.
In our short history (a)muse has risen from six artists with a dream to
having been accepted as residents at Horse Trade theater group ("...arguably
the epicenter of the independent theater world in New York." -- Leonard
Jacobs) .
Every month, (a)muse brings you, through its roster of shows, the best
in underground music, comedy, and performance. Our slogan is Raw Art Now,
and we feature acts who live it. We celebrate women who share their voices
and their experiences. We reach out to marginalized minds and encourage
them to break through. We, like Horse Trade, are committed to art over
profit and keep our shows affordable, with most door charges being 5 dollars
or under. Our monthly zine is free, and we have a weekly public access
show in which we feature the best performances from (a)muse events.
Since our founding last year, (a)muse has been producing art in the East
Village on spit and a grin, determined to keep the underground alive.
We are now solicitng donations for projects and production equipment.
Goals are to build and broadcast our community to the world, through print,
stage, public tv and internet.
To acheive our goals and continue with projects already begun we must
update our office. Our current equipment has reached legacy age where
it simply can not haul the load any more, from tracking money to editing
video. As a roving band of artists we do not have one stationary office
and work in a portable manner. To support this art-style we are looking
to invest in one portable computer and peripheral set-up that will meet
our needs for years to come.
Our Goal is to have the new equipment by Jan, 2010. Let the (a)muse needs
money 2009 campaign commence. Our top goal is $3,000.
If you would like to know what equipment your money will help us purchase

time of achieving goal amount.
