Art for Progress is committed to celebrating the arts, cultivating emerging artists, and developing a diverse, creative community with an online presence. We believe that the arts are a vital part of our culture, one that unifies, inspires, and also encourages us to achieve new ground in thought, perception, and practice. An important part of our work, therefore, is to make the world of the arts as accessible as possible to artists, art-goers, and the general public. We achieve this goal by organizing captivating events that involve multiple artistic mediums, including performance, music, fashion, and the visual arts in both traditional venues, such as galleries and museums, as well as non-traditional spaces, such as popular nightclubs and lounges.
In December 2006, Art For Progress launched its art education program which focuses on providing educational workshops to children in the most under-served communities of New York City. AFP offers programs designed with varied activities, objectives, and outcomes. The programs all share a common goal in supporting the arts in learning, while their diverse structure is created to suit the needs of any organization, school, or community.

We’re thrilled to be featuring three days of interactive, thought-provoking performance art at Solar One Park for our upcoming “Artists4Equality” Festival. Artists Caridad Sola, Sindy Butz, and Cocoon NYC will perform original pieces on all three days. We are so pleased to have these talented artists on board, and their performances are not to be missed!
Caridad Sola is known for pushing boundaries and creating emotional, thought-provoking art. If you have been fortunate enough to see one of her performances, you know that it is always fresh and exciting. Broaching topics from romantic relationships to politics, Caridad is sure to bring us performance art filled with energy and emotion.
We were fortunate to work with artist Sindy Butz during our “Mixed Greens” series last year. Through an artistic form of experimental dance called “Butoh,” Sindy creates edgy, ethereal performances. As an artist, Sindy Butz is not afraid to touch on human experiences that are common to us all, and cross racial and sexual boundaries. This time she will have us thinking of marriage and getting married.
Cocoon NYC, curated and led by artist Sherry Aliberti, is a project that revolves around multiple persons and experimental dance in a very special “cocoon.” Interactive and symbolic of life, their performances breathe energy and newness to the air.

We had the opportunity to work with Michael Alan and attend the show on November 9th. It was a great experience to work with Michael and his crew.
They really put their hearts and souls into this production, and there is a great sense of community among them. We also used this opportunity to help some of the people in Staten Island who are having a really difficult time. Guests brought food and made donations throughout the evening, and Michael personally delivered the goods to his hometown people in need.
The show itself tells a lot about the man. Given his physical state and the demands of the show, it’s clear Michael is a giver and a fighter. The show on November 9th was 8 hours long with a short break after a 4 hour stint. As people came to the door and were greeted by the lovely Caridad Sola, they were asked to pay $20 if they were not on the guest list. There were very few names on the guest list for this show. Many who might have expected to be on the guest list responded, “I’ll pay the $20 to support Michael.”
To our surprise, Michael contacted us a few days after the show and said he wants to do another show on November 24th. He was so pleased and energized by the last show that he wants to do it again. We’re proud to be part of the show again. Below are some great shot’s from the show and you can view a fantastic video that captures the essence of the performances.

Mixed Greens returns this month with a new date, but you can expect the same fresh, diverse music, brilliant performance art and thought-provoking video installations you’ve come to expect at AFP events. Plus, The Paper Box is in the coolest neighborhood in Brooklyn and the tacos can’t be beat!
What more can you ask for on a Saturday night?
Our original opening band for the evening, The Disappointment have another commitment, but El Pueblo has been added to the ticket. They’re a fantastic reggae, dub band (latin and jazz influences) who are known for their powerful performances. We are sure El Pueblo will get the night started properly.
Not walking the line between na trapeze, epic-symphonica, and electropunk, the music duo Muj is a mish-mash of musical styles. In their performances, they are known for playful improvisations and unexpected intense instrumentations. Muj segues seamlessly from ferocious, soaring guitar jams to moving melodic departures. They are now working on a feature-length documentary including an original soundtrack.
When The Coffin Daggers take the stage, get ready for an all out assault on your senses. A staple on the New York live music scene, The Coffin Daggers forge a new sound that will both overwhelm and delight the senses. The NY based surf-punk, instrumental rock band has released a full length album and two singles to critical acclaim.
The super-talented, creative, architect, performance artist Caridad Sola has rightfully become the resident performance artist for Mixed Greens, and with each stunning performance Caridad explores a broad range of social and cultural subject matter. During her last performance a young man (photo below) was so enthralled by her performance that he decided he wanted to be a part of it. As he began to crawl toward the large tub of gold liquid, he slowly removed his clothing.
Also performing at our August 25th event is the very talented, Sindy Butz. Sindy is a Berlin based visual and performance artist who is currently residing in New York City. Her work is influenced by social and cultural Anthropology studies, Moral- Philosophy and Spiritual Work.
Our video installation for our August event will feature the work of filmmaker, photographer Scott Nyerges. His video work has been shown at the Tribeca Film Festival, the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Scott’s work has been featured at several AFP events and we’re very happy to be featuring his work on August 25th.
Flying in from L.A. to perform at Mixed Greens is DJ/Producer Elliot Dehoyos. Elliot is an excellent DJ who currently spins at his monthly Tribe party in L.A. and hosts his weekly internet radio show by the same name. We’re sure he’ll bring his best when he gets on the decks at The Paper Box.
AFP’s Founder & Director is also a DJ in the NYC underground dance music scene. Gatto spins a regular monthly gig on Montreal’s Techno.fm and is currently honing his production skills. In the past, he’s shared the decks with such greats as Derrick Carter, Josh Wink, Charles Webster and many more. Frank is the resident DJ for the Mixed Greens events and promises to bring in top talent each month.

This weekend the “Brooklyn Beat Music and Arts Festival” will feature some really awesome performance art curated by Caridad Sola of NYC. With artist Meghann Snow performing Friday night, you might catch her making out on stage, or out in the art garden with a playful, interactive piece where the audience can get involved!
Saturday will bring both magic and dance elements to performance art, with world-class magician Thomas Solomon performing on stage, where you will experience the illusion of the impossible in a performance not to be forgotten.
Out in the art garden, Caridad Sola’s performance, “Deliver Us from Eve-il” is one you will not want to miss. Involving apples and razor blades, she brings an edge to the festival that will leave the audience speechless. Performance artist Sherry Aliberti will merge dance with art along with 4 dancers in “The Green Cocoon,” a very special, thought-provoking piece. The cocoon comes to life in a spellbinding performance.
Sunday, our all-ages day, will bring life to the art garden, with water guns, balloons and paint. Artist Ryan Hawkwill perform “Inside/Out” where he speaks to our identity, voids and holes.
Then a creative, interactive piece by Caridad Sola will leave the audience thinking, and possibly a little wet, with a water-gun installation where the power of creating and destroying is transferred from the artist to the audience.
On the stage, artist Sindy Butz will bring a transforming performance to the audience. Then Thomas Solomon will be back at the festival, where we’ll witness more astonishing magic!
About the artists: We are happy to have such talented artists performing with us this weekend.
Curator and performer Caridad Sola is a Cuban-American multi-media artist and licensed architect. She has performed in a variety of cities, most recently at the Fountain Art Fair in New York City.
Artist Meghann Snow of NYC has performed internationally from Paris to Stockholm and New York, where she incorporates her experience as a classically trained ballet dancer and figure skater into her visual and performance art.
Sherry Aliberti brings Cocoons to life with her mesmerizing performances. With experience in yoga and architecture, she morphs the two worlds into a single space where dance and life come forth. Thomas Solomon is an award-winning magician and escape artist, who has performed internationally, including the White House. His work has been featured on BBC and the History Channel.
Ryan Hawk of Boston is emerging as a compelling performance artist. With a residency at the New York Studio Artist Program this year, Ryan has recently performed at the Fountain Art Fair in NYC, and is currently pursuing his BFA at Tufts University. Artist Sindy Butz of Berlin resides in NYC, and has served as an international scholar at ITP Tisch/NYU. She brings sculpture and installation art together in her performances.
With such a variety of great performances, come out to celebrate with us at “Brooklyn Beat!”

Day 3
As some families started to arrive early Sunday afternoon, they were greeted with the sounds of John Coltrane and Joao Gilberto, but it wasn’t long before Sindy Butz was ready for our first performance of the day. Sindy’s piece titled “Moral Decay” was an interpretation of how society’s morals have deteriorated over time. Sindy’s strong use of symbolism and association resulted in a gripping performance that left our guests with much to ponder. Our first musical performance of the day was from Jon Samson of CoCreative Music. Many of the kids joined Jon on stage as he sang his playful, yet educational songs for everyone to enjoy. The kids were truly excited by Jon’s performance, but as soon as they saw the organic mini-cupcakes from Francesca Cake they darted for the table filled with treats. A few kids did stop on their way as they saw Allyson Jacobs interactive balloon dress, and they just had to add their own balloon to the growing skirt. Jewelry designer Paula Collins was also working on a very creative piece utilizing chains. Paula often works with metals in her line of beautiful accessories.
Back on stage, blues singer/songwriter Inky Glass delivered the perfect Sunday afternoon of blues with a touch of soul. As Inky Glass finished her set, AFP’s DJ Gatto dropped a classic house set to keep the energy flowing. The next performance art piece on Sunday featured White House entertainer and master of escape, Thomas Solomon. Mr. Solomon challenged our guests with questions about the real value of a dollar as he used his deceptive skills to fool the crowd. After this quick break from the music, Liquid Sound Lounge host/DJ Jeannie Hopper took over the decks for a great set of eclectic tunes as only Jeannie can deliver. Out in the art garden,
Caridad Sola presented her clever performance piece “El Paredon.” This interactive piece involved several participants who believed they were going to soak the artist by shooting her with water guns. Little did they know, the water was dyed red to look like blood. When they shot the guns, it truly looked like they executed her in this all “too real” shocker.
Earlier in the art garden, Ryan Hawk presented his piece “Inside/Out”which deals with personal identity and the transformation of ones self.
Our final live music performance of the festival was one that won’t soon be forgotten. Grammy nominated Ze Luis and his band played an extended set of blistering jazz that left everyone in a state of bliss. It was actually the perfect set up for the short film screenings curated by Daniel Maldonado of Gashouse Films. As expected, Daniel put together a brilliant program of award winning films.

Caridad Sola: The Cuban-American multi-media visual artist has performed at several AFP events over the past year including Fountain Art Fair, Miami and New York as well as the “Brooklyn Beat Festival” in June. Although you never quite know what to expect, Caridad always leaves you wanting more.

Day 2
As we arrived on Saturday, we found our friend Gilf in the early stages of her impressive Wall(Russ) mural in the art garden. We’re so thankful for her hard work, as she completed the mural in about 6 hours! Saturday’s musical festivities began with a set from DJ Jago. Jago is a young man who we’ve had the pleasure of seeing develop over the last few years after he won AFP’s Clash of the Artists competitions at age 13. Jake has developed a forward, high energy sound that appeals to anyone who likes to shake it on the dance floor. Taking the stage around 7:30pm, Minnie and Aya delivered our first live music performance of the day, and they did not disappoint. Their smooth, soulful sounds were the perfect start to a great night of music. Next up, was long-time friend of AFP and talented DJ Sal Leone. Sal treated our guests to a mix of deep and classic grooves as we got ready for Lachi and Meridian Gold to perform. In the art garden,
Caridad Sola was preparing for her performance piece, “Deliver us from Eve-Il” which morphs the urban legend of razor blades in apples with the story of the forbidden fruit and original sin. Caridad has a way of enticing people into her world, and then completely turning the tables on what’s expected.
Sherri Aliberti’s “Green Cocoon” performance piece was also a crowd pleaser, while Iliana Quander‘s interactive “Trash Couture” installation involved some unexpected additions. We’ll just say that the takers likely puffed away as they strolled up Meadow Street on their way to the L train.
Back on stage, Lachi was showcasing her distinct voice and thoughtful lyrics that take over a room when she performs. Taking over on the decks, Time Out NY’s Bruce Tantum treated us to a quality set of funky tech as the room began to fill in anticipation of Comandante Zero‘s performance. With a bunch of new tracks to showcase, the band took the stage with much anticipation, and the result was more than impressive. Comanadante Zero has performed at many AFP events over the last several years, and you can be sure that you’ll be seeing them at many more! Apollo Heights was next to take the stage for our final live music performance of day 2. We have been trying to book this band since we met them at PS1 a few years ago, and we were happy to finally have the opportunity to present them. Their guitar driven psychedelic sound was the perfect ending to a very diverse line-up of artists on Saturday.
As the night winded down, DJ Bass Control took over the decks with a set of his fresh, electro beats that we have grown accustomed to at AFP events. Overall, it was another thrilling night at The Paper Box!

From South Beach to Boca (and everywhere in between) we’ve been blown away by how many creative and talented people call South Florida home.
From South Beach to Boca (and everywhere in between) we’ve been blown away by how many creative and talented people call South Florida home.
Today we’d like to introduce you to Caridad Sola.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Wow, where do I begin? It feels like there are so many facets to my career and a million chapters in getting to where I am today. I knew at a very young age I wanted to create. Growing up in a household filled with creativity ignited a fire in my soul for it. I watched my father design and build his own dream home while watching my aunts and uncles paint the night away while my mother sang her heart out. It only made sense that I would end up wanting to be an artist and an architect. I also witnessed my dad work extremely hard. He instilled an incredible sense of work ethic in me. And it is that tenacious work ethic that really got me where I am today.
After I earned my dual bachelor in Architecture and Fine art in Miami, I dreamed of going to New York City to get a Master’s in Fine Art. Looking back on this now, I realize this was one of the best decisions I ever made. While there, I ended up getting two more Masters, one in Construction Management and another in Real Estate Development. This trio of knowledge not only gave me opportunities but formed the foundation of my career.
I knew I wanted to work on something special, not just any other job. So after a 7-month job hunt, I finally got my foot in the door with the construction management team that was rebuilding the World Trade Center Site while it was still Ground Zero. I spent ten years on that project and learned invaluable lessons in every way you can imagine. This is when I realized that education is really just the groundwork; what you learn on the job is what really builds your career and your future.
Fast forward to today, having over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, I have worked for architecture firms, private developers, museums, facilities management companies, and now one of the largest cruise lines in the industry. I have exhibited my art in New York, Miami, Connecticut, Philadelphia, with many more places in the works.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not at all. Progression is rarely linear. I’ve had my share of disappointments but always knew that if things didn’t pan out how I wanted them to, that’s because there was undoubtedly something better intended for me.
I like to divide my career in two roads. One being the architecture/construction path, and the other being the art path. The first road is a more typically approach to a career. You get a job, you work hard on a project, you excel, you start another project. You get all the benefits from having an employer and a steady paycheck. The other path of my career, the art – now that’s where I struggle when it comes to making it into a lucrative profession.
When I know what I need to do, I do it 10000%. But when I don’t know what I need to do, and there is no defined path to success, it can be challenging to feel like anything you are doing will get you to where you want to be. The art world is a world like no other. I still struggle with this today. There is a part of me that blames this on my father (and others) for telling me I could never make a living out of being an artist. “It’s a hobby” people would say. I have hated that word my entire life. “Hobby: an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation.” I’m sorry, but my greatest passion in life cannot be categorized under the same thing a stamp collection is in.
But the hard truth is, I have no one but to blame but myself. I know my father had my best interests at heart. He didn’t want to see my struggle. And his advice did get me where I am today.
However, there will always be a part of me that knows I could have made it as a “full-time artist”. But I wasted 15 years believing I couldn’t make it into a real career. It’s not too late though, and this is where I stand today, at a turning point. I know that if I dedicate the amount of work ethic that I do with everything else in my life to finding out how to make it as an artist, I will.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As an installation artist, I awaken your senses. Dark soil wrapped in white sheets, bricks suspended in air by delicate sheer ribbon, and red-feathered pillow fight in a white room. I invite you to feel the materials: stick your hands into water, walk barefoot on pillows, feel the slight roll of freshly-cut sugar cane underneath your feet, smell the feathers, the soil, the cane, and hear the sound of a beating heart or water lapping. I reveal the beauty, buried memories, and richness that everyday objects hold.
Through the transformation of space and exploration of my body and others, I create memories. I have a passion for the grandiose, the dramatic, and the theatrical. I expose viewers to rituals, collective memories, and metaphors. But like memories, these experiences will not last. Installations are ephemeral after they are de-installed, all that remains are memories, documentation, and artifacts.
From bricks to pillows, I create unforgettable experiences.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Luck… now that’s a tricky one. Is it luck, or is hard work, or is it fate, or is my life even deserved? I’ve struggled my entire life with the guilt of feeling too “lucky”. Why me? Why was I born into an amazing and supportive family, have been given an amazing education, and all these opportunities? Why me, and why do others not get the same blessings. That is a question I will never be able to answer. But the one thing I can say with all certainty – is that I didn’t let this luck go to waste. I’ve worked my #ass off my entire life to make sure I didn’t. Luck can only get you so far.

“Our Lady of Apparitions”
Caridad Sola is a multimedia visual artist and licensed architect who has exhibited and performed works in Miami and throughout the New York metropolitan area. Originally from Miami, Sola moved to New York City about 8 years ago where she worked in architecture for most of that time, even serving as a construction project manager for the 9/11 Museum and Memorial Project. About a year ago, Sola decided to quit her job and pursue the arts full time, devoting the last 8 months to performance work, which she admits she stumbled upon by chance. Her upcoming performance, Our Lady of Apparitions, will be exhibited in October at the Art in Odd Places 2012 festival: MODEL. Art in Odd Places had a few questions for Sola regarding her project …
What inspired Our Lady of Apparitions?
A few years ago, when I was working on a piece about my Cuban Heritage, I got inspired to re-create pictures of the past. In other words, completely re-create a scene from pre-Castro Cuba with myself in these photographs as a character. That evolved into the idea of dressing up like my Catholic Saint names. My full name is “Caridad Maria de las Mercedes Barbara Montano Sola Quintana Polo.” My mother was in her 30s when she had me; and in honor of her faith, she promised to name me after those Saints if I were to be born a healthy baby girl. I was born healthy – and here we are. I lived my entire life knowing I was named after the saints yet never took the time to discover the history behind each figure. It wasn’t until this project that I learned the story behind each name.
Note: My saints’ names are as follows:
· La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre (Our lady of Charity, the Cuban patron Saint)
· Maria (Jesus’ mother),
· Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes (Our Lady of Mercy)
· Santa Barbara
· The last 4 names (Montano Sola Quintana Polo) are family names
What about this work do you think will make it an “unforgettable experience”?
It’s not very common to see an “apparition” and even less common to see one in New York City – aka “the devil’s playground.” The performance “Our Lady of Apparitions” explores the belief in the unbelievable through anomalous, quasi-perceptual experience of apparitions. I want to challenge people’s perception, belief, and reality. If they are in some way touched, moved, inspired, or even confronted with this piece, it will ultimately be an unforgettable experience.
How have your own experiences helped to shape this project?
I personally have never seen the Virgin Mary “appear,” although in the 1990s my mother took our entire family on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, Yugoslavia. I was fascinated with the length people traveled to see an apparition. What did that mean? What did it provide for them? How does it honor their faith? I am still fascinated by this and therefore created this project as an experience to challenge my own beliefs and notion of what an apparition means to people.
Will this work have any critical religious or political undertones?
Well, yes (religious) – There isn’t any way I can avoid that. My performance consists of dressing up like four different religious figures. Although my intention isn’t a religious message, but rather to have the public think of what it means to see an apparition, how it affects them, what they think about it, and even further – what does that say about their identity.
I am aware that this piece may be confronting to some, but in no way is it meant to be disrespectful to Catholicism. Some may in fact call it sacrilegious. But my intention is exactly the opposite: to honor my mother’s faith, her promise, and my health.
Will this work have any connections to past performances?
The only other performance that has a connection is “Looking for Mr. Right” where I walked thru the streets of Manhattan wearing an 80-foot long wedding dress. The connection is simply the act of dressing up into an alter ego, and performing in public, stopping New Yorkers in their tracks and providing them with an unexpected experience. I have however created non-performance religious pieces prior to this, such as an installation in 2006 titled “These are Their Prayers” where I casted four sets of hands in paraffin wax, mounted them onto a wall in the shape of a cross, and had each hand holding rosaries that were wrapped in that person’s own personal prayer. Below it laid a gold communion plate. And another installation from 2006 titled “In Gods We Trust” that consisted of a book created out of 19 sacred texts from 14 different religions sitting on a 22 kt gold leafed night table, with Darwin’s “Origin of Species” keeping the table level. Each piece is made to challenge one’s own perception of faith and identity.
Do you think you will explore any of the subject matter from this work in future projects?
It’s definitely possible, but as of right now I do not have anything in mind. The subject matter and expression of each of my works varies greatly. If I were to create another piece with this same subject matter, I have no doubt it will be executed differently …
What drew Sola to performance work was the fact that it was a “totally different experience, in a way it’s like you become the art … before you had to hide behind the art as an artist to produce work, put it out there in an exhibition and then watch people and observe how they interact with it, and then now it’s more like I can’t hide behind art anymore because I’m part of it.” Talking to her after reading her answers to my questions also confirmed a belief I had about Sola’s artistic process in her performances: that she comes up with a concept but lets the idea lead her as opposed to trying to construct a performance around it, allowing the idea to lead her in a direction that might be an extension of or departure from her original intention.
Before she left her job, Sola did do some part time art projects, such as the Souls of Gold, a project that she would often execute during her lunch hour at work. Her transition to full-time artist worked out well as shows started to pick up after she decided to solely pursue this passion.
“I always knew I wanted to be an artist and that was part of the reason why I quit was because it’s not that I didn’t enjoy the job, it’s just that I knew in the back of my head what was playing was like ‘this is your time to try this out full time, before you have any kids, before you have any responsibilities …’” Her family has also been another great source of motivation and support for Sola, as she was lucky enough to have them assist her in this time of transition.
Sola’s first performance work Looking for Mr. Right involved her walking around NYC for a couple of days in a wedding dress with an 80 foot long train, observing as the dress turns from pure to dirty off-white as a literal symbol of the search for true and lasting romantic companionship in New York. When she originally went into the project she thought the documentation of her performance would serve as the art itself; but when Sola was actually performing this work, she found that the greater meaning and reactions came from the experience of carrying it out and others seeing it as it was happening. Sola’s original intention behind this project was sarcastic, but as she was in the midst of her performance, she found people had overwhelmingly positive things to say to her, thinking it was part of a photoshoot or her actual wedding. “Everyone was congratulating me, and I didn’t even have it in my heart to actually tell them like ‘it’s not real’ you know. ‘it’s an art project …’ I started to just say ‘thank you.’” Overall, the project ended up giving Sola a feeling of hope, as it allowed her to “see the goodness and kindness of humanity” based on the reactions she received. She also felt this project to be liberating and found that any fear she had about doing the performance was overtaken by the enjoyment of actually performing.
Sola is inspired by many things, sometimes even something as simple as an artistic medium, which she then attaches “… a metaphor … some meaning.” Other times it could be an object that has some history behind it, but from these things, her ideas for a work then just “snowballs” towards her finished project. “It could be anything; it could be walking down the street and something could inspire me or it could be a song.” The artist then went onto talk about how music has inspired a lot of her work lately, with a recent project and her past performance El Paredon even utilizing songs from Florence and the Machine, as she is attracted that kind of music, which she considers “dark and beautiful.”
After a discussion of her work El Paredon, which involved the artist being shot by the audience with water guns filled with red food dye, Sola didn’t realize how shocking this work would be at that moment and described this experience as a “pleasant surprise, because you really never know how it’s gonna go until you do it.”
Viewing the concepts and executions of some of her past projects on her website, it is easy to notice how curiosity runs throughout Sola’s works. Sola, it seems, goes on to create performances that have this underlying sense that she is exploring an idea or a situation in order to see what the outcome and the reaction will be not only from the audience, but also for herself. This sense of curiosity is what makes Sola’s performances so attractive, as the audience is right there with her, helping her to explore her own idea, and feeling as free when engaging with her as she does when performing. The fact that Sola’s performances are as much about the audience exploring the concepts as Sola is exploring them herself is the quality that I believe makes her performances truly unforgettable experiences.
