Thanks to Ari Lankin for dedicating his Artprov piece to the The Tank’s 10th Anniversary! Last week’s Artprov was a blast! Stay tuned for a January 2013 show announcement and special guest.

• Tank inspired painting by Ari Lankin
• Ari and host Rory Scholl give us a vogue before the show
• Amazing cast of improvisers act out situations based on Ari’s body of work
• Everyone’s on stage for this one!
• Rory and Ari present the finished painting!

Want to see the ARTPROV cast of comics create improvised scenes and musicals based on the gallery of Ari Lankin? At the same time, Lankin will create a new painting, sculpture, or piece based on the scenes based on their work.

ARTPROV is a unique hilarious and  entertaining show that brings together different artistic mediums to inspire each other and create new works of art together. An artistic circle of life.

About The Tank’s 10th Anniversary Season:

The Tank’s 10th Anniversary is not only cause for celebration but also an exploration of the values that will continue to propel us forward for another 10 years. At select anniversary events and donation drives through May 2013, The Tank will toast to its services of support, empowerment, opportunity and access for the New York City arts community.

Accessibility isn’t a privilege, it’s a starting point. For early career artists, it’s a curated, guided experience: a nurturing place to get your feet wet and find your audience. For the more experienced crafters, it’s a financially risk-free place to play, in a theater with a full light/sound/projection package. For audiences, it’s an economic alternative to the bright light ‘premium-seat’ attractions one block away. And with year-round, open submissions and no application or acceptance fees, this access is non-exclusive. The Tank has been open for business for 10 years and a tax deductible donation today will make it possible to remain an accessible resource for ten more.

The next installation of ARTPROV is back with a new guest artist, Sean Miner on Friday, November 9!

Growing up in NYC, Sean Miner was always fascinated with the dark alleyways that he was certain must exist in the backstreets of fairy tales, hinted at in the writing and illustrations of Maurice Sendak and Shel Silverstein.

ARTPROV is a unique hilarious and  entertaining show that brings together different artistic mediums to inspire each other and create new works of art together.
