Grab this unique, one-of-a-kind item featuring our beloved artist honoree, Arturo O'Farrill, who just wrapped up a residency at The Greene Space in NYC. 

Pianist, composer, and educator, Arturo was born in Mexico and grew up right here in in New York City. Arturo’s professional career began with the Carla Bley Band and continued as a solo performer with a wide spectrum of artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Wynton Marsalis, and Harry Belafonte. Arturo is a member of the faculties of both the Manhattan School of Music and the School of Jazz at the New School. 2007, he founded the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the performance, education, and preservation of Afro Latin music. 

This poster, which will be given to the winner signed by Arturo and framed, memorializes the culminating concert of Arturo's resididency on April 24, 2019.  At that event, members of the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra performed a world premiere commissioned by The Greene Space in celebration of its 10th anniversary. The genre-bending composition is inspired by Arturo's political activism and meant to smash the concept of high and low culture in music, challenging the idea that classical and jazz music are elite or that folkloric or commercially driven music is of lower artistic merit.
