Settlement founder Lillian Wald believed that expose to the arts and opportunities for creative expression were as essential as health care and education. From its inception, Henry Street provided instruction in the arts and well-regarded performances. The Settlement’s Theaters, which opened in 1915, was (and is today) on the cutting edge of avant garde theater in New York.
Some of the most influential artists of the 20th century have taught, trained and/or performed at Henry Street. Eugene O'Neill, Robert Browning, Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Fred Astaire, George Gershwin, Igor Stravinsky, Dizzy Gillespie, and Eartha Kitt are but a few of the artists and performers who have passed through Henry Street's doors
(Le) Poisson Rouge is a multimedia art cabaret founded by musicians on the site of the historic Village Gate. Dedicated to the fusion of popular and art cultures in music, film, theater, dance, and fine art, the venue's mission is to revive the symbiotic relationship between art and revelry; to establish a creative asylum for both artists and audiences.
