Industry icons and local artists working in a diverse range of mediums including poetry, music, dance, acting, comedy, DJing, activism and other performative arts gathered together at one of NYC’s leading cultural hubs, The Rockaway Hotel. The evening was a culmination of creativity to uplift both the artistic community hit hard by the pandemic, as well as audiences who have been waiting for a transcendent and thought-provoking live experience - something that has been greatly missed this past year. Brought to you by the Wide Awakes Collective and hosted by visual artist Zoe Buckman and musician Max Milner, the Lilac Jam series is a monthly cultural event at The Rockaway Hotel in the hotel’s vast outdoor and ventilated spaces.
