Art Stars is a group of experimental performers, comedians, poets, storytellers, musicians, and performance artists located in and around New York's Lower East Side. Appropriated by the New York Lower East Side open mic performance scene, the term "Art Star" was first coined by Andy Warhol. As used by local performers like the Rev. Jen Miller in the mid 1990s, the term came to be used in that community as a tongue-in-cheek way to embody a non-competitive attitude (in which all artists/performers/participants are declared to be "Art Stars") shared among these performers in an otherwise competitive New York art and performance scene.

  • Art Stars is a group of experimental performers, comedians, poets, storytellers, musicians, and performance artists located in and around New York's Lower East Side. Appropriated by the New York Lower East Side open mic performance scene, the term "Art Star" was first coined by Andy Warhol. As used by local performers like the Rev. Jen Miller in the mid 1990s, the term came to be used in that community as a tongue-in-cheek way to embody a non-competitive attitude (in which all artists/performers/participants are declared to be "Art Stars") shared among these performers in an otherwise competitive New York art and performance scene. Long-running Art Star variety shows- such as Miller's Anti-Slam, Faceboyz Open Mic, Grindhouse-A-Go-Go!, Toilet, Rocket to Vaudeville, Night of 1000 Jennifers and, more recently, Sabelli's Underground Open Mic at Under St. Mark's Theater, have been a mainstay of some of New York's better known alternative art and performance venues such as Collective:Unconscious, the now-defunct Surf Reality, and Bob Holman's Bowery Poetry Club. In addition to the self-published Art Star Scene Magazine, the scene has been profiled in The Village Voice, Time Out New York ("Geek Chorus," front cover, Issue 569: August 24–30, 2006) and The New York Press. Many notable performers have collaborated with various Art Stars, including Janeane Garofalo, Marc Maron, Moby, Jonathan Ames, and Karen Finley. Other notable members include Andrew J. Lederer, Lloyd Floyd, Finnegan the Poet, Christian Finnegan, Joey Gay, Jessica Delfino, Michael Portnoy, Christopher X. Brodeur, Jonny McGovern, and Nick Zedd.
