The theater and the arts are for everyone, and the Festival de la Posibilidad is coming to New York’s lower east side to spread that message. Organized by the Foundation for New American Art, an art education nonprofit dedicated to nurturing the visionary artists of tomorrow, Festival de La Posibilidad is a two-day festival of multi-cultural arts, music, dance and creative experiences for all ages held at The Clemente Cultural and Educational Center.

Events include:

• Tamir Hargana, a Mongolian Throat Singer who plays many instruments including the “Horse Guitar.” Tamir is known for combining Heavy Metal and traditional Mongolian vocals.

• Maria Raquel, a charismatic singer from Medellin, Columbia with a powerful voice. Maria is an ambassador for Latin American music.

• Salieu Suso, an “edu-tainer” from Africa. Salieu is a culture bearer from the thousand-year old Griot tradition who plays the Kora.

• -Master of Ceremonies will be Phoebe Legere, (Abenaki/Cajun) President of the Foundation for New American Art. Phoebe will present and interview the artists in Spanish and English.

The Festival also includes workshops, painting tutorials, dance lessons and more.
