Our elected officials, corporate partners, community leaders, and participants joined to celebrate the newly renovated Fulton Community Center at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 14th and a Holiday Community Party on December 18th.

Marlon Wayans stopped by at our Holiday Party to check out the new center and enjoy some quality time with the community with cookie decorating, ornament-making, & gift giving! A special thanks to the Wayans family for always looking out for us!


Spreading Holiday Cheer

Thanks to everyone who donated and volunteered, we were able to celebrate the holidays with a Holiday Pop-Up Shop on December 14-17 and Christmas Day Luncheon on December 25th! Hundreds of people from the community came to our Pop-Up and shopped for free items for themselves, their families, and their friends. A very special thank you to Pfizer, OXO, Roc Nation, Tapestry, Disney, Tommy Hilfiger, Avenues Parent Association, and all those who donated to our Toy Drive for making every Hudson Guild participant feel special.

At our Christmas Day Luncheon, community members gathered and enjoyed each other's company while sharing a Christmas meal together. Being able to help individuals and families spread holiday cheer to friends, family, and loved ones brings us limitless joy.


Thank you for helping us give!

Hudson Guild Gallery presents its next upcoming exhibit, Return Works with oil and fabric by Danny Simmons! Danny Simmons first showed his vibrant, sensuous work here at Hudson Guild with his exhibit, African Inspiration, followed by two other exhibits since then. He returns this year with work that was recently shown to great acclaim at the Houston Museum of African American Culture and is said to "inject freshness" by The New York Times. His African-influenced abstract works were made to create beauty and hope during uncertain times.
