North Brooklyn Talent Show: Building a Better World
with student artists from St. Nicks Alliance
Géza, 306 Maujer
In collaboration with St. Nicks Alliance, Amant hosts the North Brooklyn Talent Show which celebrates the voices and visions of young artists across twenty-three local schools. Guided by St. Nicks’ dedicated teaching artists, students share their work in dance, music, theatre, visual art, and the culinary arts—each piece a reflection of their creativity and care. This year’s theme, “building a better world through the arts,” threads through it all, inviting us to imagine alongside them what a more joyful, just, and connected future might look like. This program is held in conjunction with Amant’s current exhibition, On Education, on view through August 17, 2025.
Amant programs are always free. RSVPs are strongly encouraged. Seating is first come, first serve with some standing room available. Check-in for the event will start at 6:00pm on Wednesday, June 11, in Géza, located at 306 Maujer.
This program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
