NOoSPHERE Arts Turns 12!

Broadway Stages is proud to help celebrate the 12th anniversary of NOoSPHERE Arts. To tell the story of NOoSPHERE Arts, you must start with its founding artistic director and driving force, Sol Kjøk.

When offered access to a storefront on the Lower East Side in early 2011, Sol turned the space into NOoSPHERE Arts’ first incarnation, a gallery for artist colleagues from around the world.

After five years in Manhattan, NOoSPHERE Arts moved to its current home in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The organization is now headquartered in a warehouse loft (Last Frontier NYC). On most days, it serves as a private workspace for Kjøk, but it also transforms into a presentation arena for international artists across multiple disciplines.

After the 2011 move to Brooklyn, NOoSPHERE Arts evolved into a passion-driven nonprofit team uniting ten nationalities spanning four continents. They offer multiple indoor/outdoor performances, salon conversations, exhibits, screenings, readings, and festivals.

NOoSPHERE Arts is dedicated to uniting music, dance, visual arts, theater, film, poetry and prose. Their collaborative productions harness the power of art to drive action toward green living, fair play, and oneness.

Their goal is to instill belief in personal agency and hopes through collective action: with shared efforts towards sustainability, diversity, and equity, we can create a more united and joyful world.

One of NOoSPHERE Arts’ more recent and Broadway Stages’ favorite events is the summer rooftop series, WE ARE NATURE. The summer series has been held for the past three years. It combines arts, environmental activism, and community building at and around Kingsland Wildflowers at Broadway Stages, in Greenpoint.. Art, community, and science address humanity’s place on Earth to engage a diverse audience in environmental efforts through art. Each event is highly engaging and inspiring. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for this summer!

You can support NOoSPHERE Arts  ongoing mission in many ways including  financial donations, purchasing members’ artwork, leaving reviews, and volunteering your time and energy.
