LIVE from the NYPL

Curated by Director, Paul Holdengräber, LIVE is "Cognitive Theater!"  With a mission to provoke, engage, enlighten, instigate and agitate the mind, LIVE IS: provocative conversations, real debates, irresistible performances, original ideas.

Made possible with generous support from Celeste and Armand Bartos and the Margaret and Herman Sokol Public Education Endowment Fund.

Events take place either in the Celeste Bartos Forum or the South Court Auditorium. Both of these rooms are inside The New York Public Library building on Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets, adjacent to Bryant Park.
