Description:

What is Fresh Fruit?

Yes, Fresh Fruit is a colorful and healthy snack. But it is also an inclusive International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Cultural & Arts Festival held in Manhattan each July! All Out Arts' and New Village Productions' Fresh Fruit Festival feeds the spiritual and artistic souls of the LGBT and artistic communities.

Fresh Fruit's mission is to share the LGBT community's unique perspective, creativity and diversity and to build links between the LGBT, local, national and international artistic communities as well as to the general public.

A nearly month-long celebration of the arts and culture that champions the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community in song, theater, poetry, dance, and music. Taking place at various venues throughout the city, the festival will highlight an eclectic look at dance, featuring artist Ian Archer-Watters' comedic rendition of The Swan, a jazz performance at Joe's Pub, a series of plays and performances presented at the historic Hudson Guild Theater, a variety show at the Lincoln Center Barnes and Noble, and many more events.
