Who can doubt its success - hopefully to become an annual event. <br /><br />I'm also tickled you didn't need $12,000 of local taxes to build a website. (Sorry, that's about someone else.)<br /><br />This is exciting. Congratulations, and good luck! unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-56750608172069134992020-08-30T02:10:04.086-04:002020-08-30T02:10:04.086-04:00This is such a great program and comes at such a p...This is such a great program and comes at such a perfect time.

The ...Launch Statement by Curator Aaron Levi Garvey<br />The first half of 2020 has been one for the ages, likely the longest six months that many of us have experienced in our lives fraught with challenges, pivots, solitude, fears and anxieties. With that though we have seen a number of successes and bests; cities, states and countries have emerged stronger, more compassionate and more resilient than ever before. If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that we are able to stand by and stand up for one another in times of need as friends and community members. <br /><br />To that point, we are both humbled and proud to be presenting the Second Edition of The Hudson Eye. As we unveil a program that has been inspired by and accepted the challenges we were faced with, we have embarked on a mission to think outside the box of what it means to support artists, build community and present an equitable and dynamic contemporary arts program. From utilizing cable access channels to present contemporary art films directly into people's homes, to the first ever citywide public art initiative in Hudson featuring nearly 10 artists and modern and contemporary performance works within venues and sites that visitors can maintain social distancing while remaining engaged with the works being presented. <br /><br />Our team has worked tirelessly to build an equitable and diverse program that spans over 20 venues, features the works of nearly 30 artists and hosts over 30 panel speakers for our Hot Topics daily panel series. We are immensely proud of the program that we have put together and eager to share the fruits of our labors with you once again as we embark back into familiar territory of seeing one another in person. <br /><br />See you all very soon. <br />Aaron Levi Garvey<br />Curator <br />The Hudson Eye <br />www.thehudsoneye.comThe Hudson Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495670821180055647noreply@blogger.com
