Arts Paper
As the editorially independent arm of The Arts Council of Greater New Haven, the Arts Paper seeks to celebrate, explore, and investigate the fine, visual, performing and culinary arts in and around New Haven.
We'll be back Monday with a full article about the role of artmaking (which there was so much of!) at Saturday's No Kings New Haven rally on the New Haven Green. For now, here are a few snapshots of what it was like to be there Saturday afternoon. A special shout out to poets Japhet Gonzalez and Diana Robles, the Blue Steel Drumline, East Rock Brass Band, Singing Resistance New Haven and artists Janet Brodie (the paper cranes), Martha Willette Lewis (many of the signs), and Muffy Pendergast (queen of Westville's giant puppets) for bringing so much art into the mix.

Jamire Casteel has loved singing for as long as he can remember. Now, the senior at Hill Regional Career High School is hoping that his voice can be a creative launchpad to the City of Light.

The man of the hour (and maybe the year?). Stephanie Anestis Photography Photos. Jesse “Cheese” Hameen closed his eyes, and turned the clock backwards with the single, balletic wave of his hand. The year was 1950, and Hameen was just a little boy at the Winchester School, hammering a beat out on the side of pots and pans. His hands, which moments before had been suspended in midair, came down on the taut, pearlescent surface of a tom drum.
