Sunday May, 7th, 2023 3PM-5PM Starting point: Storefront for Art and Architecture 97 Kenmare Street, New York, NY

On Sunday, May 7 Canal Street Research Association presents “Fruits,” a spring celebration and ode to triangles, street vendors, and the complexity of Canal Street. Beginning at their current exhibition, New Land Plaza: You Can’t Beat a New York Original at Storefront, visitors will embark on a meandering procession through the neighborhood streetscape before arriving at the tip of the so-called “Counterfeit Triangle” where Canal, Walker and Baxter Streets meet, formerly home to a vibrant street market of produce sellers known as the Triangle Vendors.

There, the small forest at the Triangle’s tip will play host to a set of performances and reflections from artist Emmy Catedral with poet Paolo Javier, channeling poet Frances Chung, and poet and critic John Yau, author of Crossing Canal Street. The group will convene under the trees to enjoy offerings and refreshments, including ephemeral hangings by artists Ryan Foerster and chef RJ Gitter, on site-specific seating by architect Sebastijan Jemec.
