Author of seven books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Beauty Myth, The End of America and Give Me Liberty.

Jillian Maslow
(fashion show)
An artist whose topical gown-sculptures skirt a weighty line between the gravity of social purpose and the loftiness of fashion. Jillian artfully constructs classic fashion silhouettes from popular manufactured products.

At 9 PM Live Performances:

Gabriella Callender
Singer, songwriter and the heart of Mahina Movement’s music. Gabby represents Hollis, Queens, where she was raised by an adopted family. Gabby has a fierce passion for music and has consistently been writing songs since she was 5 years old. Her story is featured in the documentary, “Anomaly”, directed by Jessica Chen Drammeh, which offers a compelling look at the experiences of people of mixed ethnicity.

Left on Red
These two young women's talents run the musical gamut, but they are primarily a rock duo with Liah on guitar, Kelly on violin, and both on vocals. Left on Red routinely play in hospitals and nursing homes as well as performing for Veterans on a shared bill with Tom Morello and his organization Axis of Justice, Musicians on Call, YWCA, and many more.
