<h2>Lonnie Holley and his Universe of Friends on May 18th at the Adler Hall, Society for Ethical Culture</h2><p></p><h3>The American Folk Art Museum (AFAM) is thrilled to celebrate multi-faceted Lonnie Holley at a special fundraising concert: “Lonnie Holley and His Universe.” Holley is a powerful visual artist represented in AFAM’s collection, as well as an internationally renowned musician. The concert will be hosted by Harvey Fierstein, with a special appearance by David Byrne, and will include special performances by Mourning [A] BLKstar, Marshall Allen of the Sun Ra Arkestra, and Suzanne Vega. Holley will also collaborate with American fashion designer Emily Adams Bode Aujla, founder of Bode, on creating a custom outfit for the show.</h3><h3>We are thrilled to celebrate Holley’s newest album, Oh Me, Oh My, features Bon Iver, R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, and Sharon Van Etten, among others. The evening will celebrate Holley’s visual and musical talents and explore his collaborative spirit with other musicians, which has led to more than six full-length albums. </h3><h3>AFAM is the leading institution for folk art across time and place, showcasing artists and artworks that followed non-traditional paths and were previously overlooked by the mainstream artworld. For more than 60 years, the Museum has been a champion of self-taught artists and artworks that otherwise would not have been collected, celebrated, exhibited, and studied. Proceeds from the concert will support the mission of the American Folk Art Museum. </h3><h3></h3><h3>If you are unable to join us and want to be part of our celebration, please donate <a href="https://shop.folkartmuseum.org/donate-to-the-lonnie-holley-benefit-concert.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</h3><h3></h3><p></p>
