The statement from the room
“For the staff, the artists and our community, we hear you and we are sorry. We know we have to uphold the highest standards and we know we let you down. We are not just a black box with the people inside …”, reads the press release.
“The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our places the safest spaces in the country and we will continue this mission. We believe in diversity of voices and freedom of artistic expression, but by honoring that, we have lost sight of the impact this would have. “
