Gratitude*NYC returns for our 5th year, bigger and better and in a huge new location and earlier date, just in time to decompress. RSVP, invite your friends, and PARTICIPATE!

On October 4th, Gratitude welcomes you home to...
AXIS MUNDI, the axis of creation. The meeting point of the higher and lower realms, of Earth and the Worlds of Mythology, of reality and dreams. Welcome to a fully immersive journey into the Lands of Legend, the civilizations that have been lost, dreamed about, or just whispered for centuries.

Encounter the Jungle! Evoking the lost civilizations of the Incas, the seat of Vishnu, the White City of Gold. A place of ritual, of primal power, of nature, of the stars, and of fire.

Dive Underwater! Enter Atlantis, the lost city in the sea. Mermaids and Triton, Water Nymphs and Sea Dragons. A place of creation, for we all come from water. A land of wonder, of connection to that which we cannot understand

Explore the Desert! Lost in the Sands of Time, the lands of Aladdin, Eridu, and the Ancient Cities of Babylon and Cairo return. A home of djinn and genie, of bazaars of wonder and magic carpets, of enchantment and dreams.

What was lost can be found. What we dream today can become the world of tomorrow.

AXIS MUNDI costume ideas: Mayan warriors and priests, Hindu Deities, Shaman­ - the jaguar, the snake, the eagle­ Mermaids and Mermen, Sea Nymphs and Sea Lords, Sea
Creatures of all types, bioluminescence!­ Desert Bedouin, Egyptian Royalty, Indian Mythology, the tiger, the sorcerer, the vizier­ Gods and Goddesses of all types, Travelers of Time and Space...or strip down and get body painted!!!

THE CALLING 4: Debuting at 9PM, Flambeaux Fire's epic storybook theater show tells the tale of a people bound by fire who isolate themselves in a realm apart from ours, to burn ever-stronger. But as the nature of fire itself consumes them, their world becomes a Paradise Fallen. Now, Flambeaux and a pantheon of supernatural archetypes, walled into their sparring fiefdoms, must open their flaming hearts to the beautiful newcomer 'The Red Witch' and her golden voice, as her spectacular miracles bring them closer and closer....to conflict, to solutions, to community, to each other, and to the fire itself.

With a cast of New York's most followed indie performers and artists, Flambeaux concocts a yearning and powerful live spectacle that now threads itself into the fabric of 'Gratitude', to bring you the show 'The Calling 4' in all it's glory then to further appear all night with them.

Gratitude*NYC 2014 will have re-entry until midnight. At discretion of security afterwards.

Your Support Funds the Artists!
A huge part of the magic of Gratitude*NYC is the quality of the artistic expression and the transformative experience of interacting with the art. Each year, we invite, support, and stimulate the best artists in New York to create original interactive installations, sculptures, and performances.

VOLUNTEER: Submissions are now closed. Thanks everyone!

PARTICIPANT SAFETY: Gratitude*NYC is deeply committed to fostering a safe space for free expression without fear of harassment, intimidation or assault or violence of any kind. We encourage all participants to be aware of your own personal safety and the safety of your fellow participants. The principle of CONSENT is a core value that we take very seriously and we have a zero tolerance for anyone who endangers the safety of our community by ignoring this principle.

CIT (Crisis Intervention Team): Gratitude Sanctuary is a group of volunteer human service professionals who are dedicated and responsive to the emotional needs of our participants and staff.

LEAVE NO TRACE: As an event committed to the 11+ principles, Gratitude*NYC is a "Leave No Trace" event. We ask all participants to support us in our mission to pick up MOOP (matter out of place) throughout the event and help to return the venue to its original condition at the end of the night. Trash and recycling receptacles will be provided throughout the space. Please use them!

Gratitude*NYC 2014 will have re-entry until midnight. At discretion of security afterwards.

This is a 21+ event.
