The Park Slope Food Coop Concert Series is one of the most exciting initiatives we undertake as a community. With so many gifted and talented members, creating this series was a natural decision and a no-brainer.
The baton of music and performance curation was passed on to Jay and Alexis by Beverly Grant—a great artist and long-time member since the inception of the Food Coop. Beverly is an artist, photographer, singer-songwriter, composer, and activist who has greatly contributed to our community.
Jason Weiner and the membership staff have played a key role in bringing this event to life. We thank them for sharing the same joy and respect for the arts, which enriches all walks of life.
Before the shutdown, this concert series was a crucial and pinnacle way of bringing us closer together as a community that truly cares about the world around us. Art, in every aspect of our human experience, is a life-healing force.
Alexis Cuadrado and Jay Rodriguez are both professional musicians, composers, and producers. They have expanded the vision of the curation to create a platform for freedom of expression for all. Shapeshifter Lab visionaries Fortuna Sung and Matthew Garrison have also become vital to our mission, generously providing us with their performance space across the street from the Food Coop.
