THIRTEEN's NYC-ARTS Offers Encores of Greatest Hits in March

NYC-ARTS, THIRTEEN's weekly arts and culture multi-platform showcase, brings arts lovers an all-access pass to the interesting, unusual and unique cultural offerings of the greater New York City region. This month the series revisits some of its compelling profiles of the people and institutions that make up the arts community in our region.

Among those individuals featured are Moshe Safdie, the renowned architect, urban planner and educator, and photographer Gregory Crewdson, who is known for his cinematic large scale images. Ballet Hispanico, The Audubon Mural Project, and The New York Shakespeare Exchange's Sonnet Project are also featured in March.

Co-hosted by New York Emmy Award winners Philippe de Montebello and Paula Zahn, with events around town reported by Ha, NYC-ARTS showcases both world-renowned and local, community-based arts organizations.
