Grab your cutoffs and boom boxes — it’s time to hit the block!
JACK’s annual summer kickoff party is BACK, and we’re bringing the vibes Brooklyn-style. Join us on Sunday, June 1, 2025, from 2–5 PM in front of JACK for an afternoon of music, dancing, snacks, double dutch, and plenty of joy. We’re also launching our summer fundraising campaign to keep JACK’s bold, imaginative work thriving.
This spring, JACK artists have invited us to confront power, reimagine identity, and lean into the tension between reality and imagination. Their work challenges dominant narratives and opens portals to collective liberation. These artists didn’t just perform — they opened up space for transformation. At the block party, we will be celebrating their work and the shared imagination it sparks.
