RECESS
RECESS is a monthly salon series of The Hudson Eye, locally in Hudson, NY which keeps consistent momentum and programming for the organization's year-round local activities.
Keeping with a theme of local artists, local venues, and local businesses, the monthly RECESS series spotlights both works-in-progress and established projects (along with the small businesses who host them) in a format that can be shared safely, distantly, and in an intimate local setting.
Innovation. Experimentation. Deep dives. Creative development. Access to patrons. It’s all welcome here in Hudson, NY.
RECESS is a safe space, an economic catalyst, and an opportunity to engage local businesses, performers, patrons, artists, and audience members in a program of safe gatherings, and creative dialogue.
RECESS will continue to safely promote and celebrate the work of diverse local artists and local venues in 2023 through in-person formats: often with access to the Curator, Founder, Staff of The Hudson Eye, and Young Patrons of the organization each month.
Want to share some work? Want to host an event? Reach out to us and say hello!

Berkshire/Columbia Counties Pay Equity Project
Entry- and mid-level arts and culture workers’ lives were precarious before the pandemic, and now their future in the sector and region is even more uncertain. People of color, and members of identity groups that have historically or are currently experiencing oppression, are dramatically overrepresented in this group. A coalition of fifteen (and growing) organizations are organized to raise up these voices, share compelling new data, provide concrete recommendations, and offer inspiring examples of institutions that are making meaningful changes. Equity has intrinsic value, but it is also true that the regional economy, and the vitality of artistic expression itself, depend on an equitable future for the arts and culture sector. Come hear the project leaders, Kristen van Ginhoven and Aron Goldman, present this growing movement, and find out how you can get involved.
