Art for Progress, a Manhattan-based nonprofit organization providing arts education programs to public schools, will premiere and auction live works by celebrated mixed-media artist Jason Covert, the multi dimensional multimedia artist Spot and Museum Of Modern Art/Brooklyn Museum guest artist VJ Miixxy. Also, many other artists unveil new works displayed throughout the venue to the moody, atmospheric soundtrack of downtempo and electronica Andy Durutti (Loveless Music Group) and The Christopher Effect (Popkiss/Unsavory/Corrosion).

TRIPNOTICA is a new, vibrant New York-based group of musicians, artists, filmmakers, and designers who--in collaboration with Filter Magazine, NY Press, Properlychilled.com, The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Deli Magazine, and others--are dedicated to showcasing the latest, most diverse, tripped-out live music and art at underground downtown concerts and parties. The March 30 celebration marks the official opening of TRIPNOTICA's monthly New York City events.
