The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) has announced the programming for JanArtsNYC 2025, a month-long celebration of performing arts and industry events across New York City in January. Now in its 12th year, JanArtsNYC continues to position January as “Performing Arts Month,” showcasing premier works in theater, dance, opera, music, and performance.
The festivities kick off on January 4, 2025, with the 20th-anniversary season of the Under the Radar Festival and feature notable events such as the APAP|NYC Conference, NYC Winter Jazzfest, and PROTOTYPE Festival.
