We almost can’t believe that this will be the fifth annual celebration of ALL NEW TALENT.

What started as a crazy plan to throw open our doors to even more emerging artists, has rapidly evolved into one of the highlights of our annual programming: ANT Fest!

Each year, hundreds of passionate artists apply through our open submission process to take part in the fun. Our call for genre-defying new work remains as broad as when it was first conceived: if you can do it live on our stage, you can apply. This vital program has already provided a first shot at the professional stage for over 800 brave new artists and nearly 150 bold new ideas.

We hope you’ll make Ars Nova your home-away-from-home this June, because whether you know it or not, the ANT Fest party never truly stops! Thanks to our generous sponsors, you can get here a little early to take advantage of Bars Nova’s many drink specials and cheap beer lovingly provided by Brooklyn Brewery, stay late on our Showgasm Thursdays to enjoy tasty slices of Two Boots pizza, or celebrate post-show at Brickyard, our favorite local just up the road!

So join us once, twice, or all month long to take in the widest variety of the freshest talent in all of New York City!
