Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project (sometimes styled Howl! Happening or simply Howl!) is a gallery and events space in the East Village, Manhattan.
Founded in 2015, Howl! Happening promotes the culture and legacy of the East Village and Lower East Side. It is named after the graphic designer and "Fifth Ramone",[2] Arturo Vega. It is a continuation of the Howl! Festival that ran from 2003 to 2013.
Alongside rotating exhibitions, the gallery has on permanent display a print of "Shack" by Elizabeth Murray on loan from Pace Gallery.
Exhibitions[edit]
Howl! Happening has exhibited the works of several East Village artists, including Scooter LaForge, Lydia Lunch, Sara Driver[3], Marcia Resnick[4][5], Marguerite Van Cook, Toyo Tsuchiya[6], Tabboo, Beth B, Gail Thacker, John Giorno, Masao Gozu, John Kelly[7], Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt[8] and Fred W. McDarrah[9] as well as several shows of works by Arturo Vega[10][11].
Howl! has also been featured at the Spring/Break Art Show[12] and at New Art Dealers Alliance, exhibiting work by Brett De Palma, Scooter LaForge and Tom Murrin.
Events[edit]
Howl! Happening hosts many events throughout the year, including film screenings by directors such as Chris Felver[13] and Chuck Smith[14], performances by Joseph Keckler[15], Felice Rosser, Helixx C. Armageddon, Yoshiko Chuma[16] and the Eryc Taylor Dance company.
The gallery hosts an annual celebration of the birthday of Allen Ginsberg, a day-long event that has historically featured artists such as Hettie Jones, Fab 5 Freddy, Ed Sanders, Anne Waldman, David Henderson, Pamela Sneed, David Amram and Eileen Myles. In 2019, they also hosted a 100th birthday celebration of poet and City Lights Bookstore founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti, which featured performances by Lenny Kaye, Eric Andersen and Laurie Anderson.
The gallery hosts monthly affordable housing and health insurance informational sessions, provided by specialists from the Actors Fund of America.
Beat & Beyond[edit]
In June 2016, Howl! Happening hosted a six-day festival of readings and events celebrating the Beat Generation, hosted in conjunction with the Bowery Poetry Club, the Poetry Project and Bowery Electric [17][18]. The festival featured many of the surviving figures associated with the movement, including Len Chandler, Michael McClure, Steve Cannon, Margaret Randall, The Fugs and The Last Poets[19][20].
Extra Place[edit]
Howl! Happening is adjacent to Extra Place, a publicly-accessible alleyway that has featured murals by several artists including Chris Tanner and Scooter LaForge, commissioned by the gallery. It is also the site of the East Village Poetry Jukebox[21], featuring historical recordings by known literary figures from the area[22]
Vega Arts Workshops[edit]
In 2019, Howl! Happening introduced a series of adult education workshops held by artists whose exhibitions were currently hosted by the gallery[23]
