For every Japanese artist and entertainer in New York with a dream to make it big, the ninth annual Japan Art Matsuri<\/a> (JAM) is the place for their star to shine. Held this year from Nov. 4-6 at the Theater for the New City<\/a>in Manhattan\u2019s East Village, this year JAM 2011 offers its biggest and most diverse lineup to date.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Yoshi Amao and Saori Goda and presented by JaNet in association with Faune Dance Troupe, JAM 2011 has established itself as one of America\u2019s largest Japanese art and music festivals, presenting Japan and its unique culture with performances by Japanese artists, musicians and entertainers in a true matsuri<\/em> (festival)-style atmosphere, and to enhance friendship and communication among New York City\u2019s cultural communities.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 people are expected to attend the three-day event that features, in addition to live entertainment, a variety of street stall-style shops in the theater lobby that sell everything from Japanese food and drinks to artworks and traditional goods. There will also be charity booths to help those in Japan devastated by the 3\/11 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami disaster.<\/p>\n
