Hoofers' House Tap Jam Session (in collaboration with The
Studio

Museum in Harlem) led by Jason Samuels Smith and featuring
the

Pheeroan akLaff trio, and a performance by the Afro-Latin
drum

ensemble Ilu Aiye. The fair will also feature affordable
food from

local vendors including the Treats Truck, Chelsea Thai,
Amy's Bread,

Ronnybrook Farms, Cleaver Company, and Calidad Latina.



Visitors can also cool off inside The Kitchen and view the
new

exhibition Between Thought and Sound: Graphic Notation in
Contemporary

Music, a group exhibition that explores the intersection of
drawing

and sound through experimental scores by more than thirty
composers

who relinquish traditional musical notation in favor of
their own

invented visual systems of pictorial or "graphic" elements.



Friends of the High Line is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the

preservation and reuse of the High Line, a 1.5-mile-long
historic

elevated rail structure on the West Side of Manhattan.
