Judy Grunberg founded PS21 (Performance Spaces for the 21st Century), a non-profit in Chatham that recently completed the realization of her three decade-long dream - the construction of a 300-seat open air pavilion and 99-seat black box theatre on the grounds of an apple orchard with sweeping views. She founded the Rewraps clothing store on Main Street to benefit PS21, and served as the President of PS21 until her death.

Donations to honor Judy’s memory and carry on her legacy can be made to the Judith B. Grunberg Memorial Fund, PS21, Inc , PO Box 321, Chatham, NY 12037.

Thank you, Denise, for all that you do.

“NEW PERSPECTIVE”

Selected Works of Artists from the African Diaspora

FRANCK HODELIN ISSHAQ ISHMAIL HILTON KORLEY

CLAUDE LAWRENCE

NICHOLAS ROMAN LEWIS JOSEPH PANNIE "NANA"

The value of art by black artists has risen astoundingly over the past several years. This ascent to the grand stairway of international auction houses is a potent symbol of newly changed attitudes toward the work of black artists in the contemporary art scene. Will it last?

Or is it another trend to get it while it's hot? However, this rise of art and artist from the African-American Diaspora is an essential shift to acknowledge the voices less heard and to open the eyes of those who were not looking. This collaborative exhibition embraces the current change as well as widens the perspective lens with a focus on the interests and knowledge of African, African American and Caribbean artists in the global arts scene.

MEET EVAN.

HIV+ since 1998

56 years old from Yonkers

HVCS is able to be there for people like Evan and empower him to take charge of his health because of people like you. All our services are offered free to low-income individuals and families, thanks to the generosity of organizations like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Dancers Responding to AIDS.

Evan is in our THRIVES nutrition program for HIV+ people. “I’m extremely happy that I’m losing weight and learning to manage my diabetes. I learned to manage my blood glucose levels and balance what I eat and drink daily.” His nutritional counselor helped Evan to identify a variety of healthy foods how to eat the right portions.

“Changing my eating and drinking habits was a challenge at first, but I had no other choice to get on the right track to a healthy lifestyle,” he said.

He gives credit to our THRIVES program for helping him understand how important it is to eat healthy. Now that he’s losing weight and eating right, he’s staying out of costly emergency rooms and, most importantly, feels even better than ever.

DANCERS RESPONDING TO AIDS In a New York City apartment 28 years ago, two dozen dancers brainstormed what they could do to help so many of their colleagues who were battling AIDS. Denise Roberts Hurlin and Hernando Cortez, dancers with Paul Taylor Dance Company at the time, mobilized the group and ultimately created Dancers Responding to AIDS in 1991. It was the dance community’s first ongoing effort to raise awareness and money to directly help those living with AIDS. The vitality of DRA comes from the extraordinary compassion and efforts of the performing arts community to fund a safety net of social services for those in need.

As a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Dancers Responding to AIDS helps support the essential programs of The Actors Fund, including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative and The Dancers’ Resource. Together, we also provide grants to more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. Funds raised by DRA and Broadway Cares help to ensure that those most in need have access to lifesaving medications, counseling, healthy meals, emergency financial assistance and more.

DRA and its supporters have proven since 1991 that what we do together makes a difference.
