The "ABC No Rio 45 Years" exhibit is underway at the Emily Harvey Foundation.
A quick overview of what to expect at this event celebrating the work of the collectively-run nonprofit arts organization founded in 1980:
ABC No Rio 45 is an exhibition of the artists and activists who have contributed to ABC No Rio over the decades and built it into an iconic Lower East Side cultural center.

This past Thursday night marked the opening reception, and a crowd turned out...
The Emily Harvey Foundation is at 537 Broadway, 2nd Floor, between Prince and Spring..
Gallery hours: Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. or by appointment. Closed Sunday and Monday. The show ends on April 26.
The environmentally friendly new structure, designed by architect Paul Castrucci, will include a computer lab, print shop, and a zine library, among other amenities. (Find more details here.) The city is contributing $21 million to the project through the Department of Cultural Affairs.
ABC No Rio's previous four-story building on the lot, which was said to be in disrepair, was demolished in the spring of 2017, putting its programming into exile at other arts organizations around the city.
ABC No Rio's longtime director, Steve Englander, passed away in December.
