Hudson Guild Talks - January 2023 Newsletter

January 13, 2023 | by hgadmin

Ready for 2023!

Taking a look back at 2022, we continued our bedrock programming - early child education, youth development & education, older adult services, community, building, mental health counseling, and arts - but we also expanded to meet emerging needs by adding:

► A new full-time technology instructor in our older adult center
► A new full-time employment specialist to help community members find and keep jobs
► Training for our mental health staff to identify and treat new challenges arising from the pandemic
► New emergency cash grants to community members who documented real economic distress

These were just a few examples of initiatives we established in the past year and look forward to continue offering our community in the year to come.

A Festive Holiday Season

In December, community members and older adult participants and their families gathered in the Wayans Family Community Room to enjoy a Holiday meal together. During the month, we also held our annual Holiday Pop-Up Shops and our Adopt-A-Family program which fulfilled the holiday wishes of hundreds of families and individuals in the community.

New Year, New Exhibits

Two new shows are coming to Hudson Guild’s galleries this month. Dialogue, works by Wanda Payne & Taj Poscé, will open at Hudson Guild Gallery on Thursday, January 12th and run through March 15th. Ar’n’t I A Woman?, portraits of famous women by Vija Doks, will open at Guild Gallery II on Thursday, January 19th and run through March 15th as well.

Further information on viewing hours and dates and times of opening receptions can be found below under “events” or at hudsonguild.org/events.
