ADULT CONTEMPORARY is a mobile reading and performance series founded in 2013. We ask artists, academics, performers, and writers to “read” in whatever way they see fit; to use the platform to experiment in form; to give us words, movements, sounds, or textures. Adult Contemporary is a salon-style site of experimentation, genre collapse, and extra-ordinary conversation. Our events are always free and open to the public.
Adult Contemporary has received support from Wesleyan University’s Allbritton Center for Public Life and NYPAC.
