S.P.E.A.K.! June: Workshop & Open Mic (RESCHEDULED TO 7/2)

The Puffin Cultural Forum, a project of The Puffin Foundation, Ltd., is the non-profit gallery and performance space located at the site of the Foundation's administrative offices in Teaneck, New Jersey. Our work takes place at the intersection of the arts and the struggle for human rights as we seek to realize in our local community the Foundation's governing motto: "...continuing the dialogue between art and the lives of ordinary people". We deeply believe in the crucial role that the arts play in shaping our consciousness, and the role of artists as agents of social change.
