Ciao Italy Performing Arts Festival was conceived to create a bridge between the historic Italian community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the new community of artists who have begun living and working in the neighborhood. We are presenting traditionally-based and Italian-inspired work by contemporary performers and scholars. Performance genres include theater, dance, music, visual arts, and poetry. The festival will also include traditional Italian folk dance classes. This year's festival has been made possible in part through the generous support of the Brooklyn Arts Council, and sponsored by Associazione San Cono.
