Please join Artists Space for a reading by Frederic Tuten and Vi Khi Nao this Saturday, April 18 at 5pm. The Segue Reading Series and Artists Space take an unprecedented step in a precarious time, as the two New York arts organizations collaborate to present the Segue Reading Series, live online, on Saturdays at 5pm beginning April 4th.

Segue and Artists Space want collectively to affirm our longstanding commitments to the necessity of artistic work that interrogates and challenges the world as such in addition to ways of expansively sharing space. Each week's reading will be streamed through Zoom, and Segue and Artists Space will announce each week's reading across our social media platforms. To attend the reading, simply click on the link above during the allotted time. All those with access to a computer, smartphone, or tablet will be able to join the Reading via Zoom.
