An enormous thank you to for donating and helping to distribute fresh fruits and veggies to so many community members at the Elliott Center this afternoon.

The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Krystyna Borkowska is up at Hudson Guild Gallery, 441 West 26th Street, through June 30.

This installation refers to urban space. It examines multiple aspects of the city structure, its architectural dynamics and its atmosphere. It reflects on the poetic sense we make out of it.

Viewing Hours: Tuesdays -Fridays, 10am-6pm & Saturdays, 12-3pm

Join us this Saturday, May 2nd from 12 to 3 PM at Fulton Community Center, 119 9th Avenue, for Hudson Guild’s Career Resource Fair!

Hudson Guild’s 15th Annual Benefit returns on Monday, April 27. Join us for an evening celebrating community, impact, and partnership as we honor The Tapestry Foundation.

For more than 10 years, Tapestry and its brands, including Coach and Kate Spade New York, have been dedicated partners in our work. Their support has included hundreds of employee volunteers, hands-on opportunities for students, and meaningful financial investment. Together, we reach 16,000 neighbors each year with programs in education, mental health, workforce development, and the arts.

Because of this support, last year:
• 87% of children in our early childhood programs entered kindergarten ready to succeed
• 350 high school students received more than 2,500 hours of tutoring and college prep
• 6,790 counseling sessions supported over 200 community members
• Nearly 4,600 visitors engaged with artwork from 489 artists
• 97% of our college applicants enrolled in 2 or 4 year institutions

We are proud to recognize Julia Furnari, Executive Director of The Tapestry Foundation and Coach Foundation, who will accept this year’s award. She leads global philanthropic efforts at Tapestry and has overseen more than $250 million in charitable giving while advancing sustainability, disaster relief, and access to education worldwide.

Hudson Guild’s Annual Benefit has raised more than $10 million to support free and low-cost programs for our community.

Congratulations to newly-elected State Senator Erik Bottcher!

Erik Bottcher has been a constant presence in our community in Chelsea and throughout the West Side as a City Council Member.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with him in his new role to help our community to grow and thrive.

We have been fortunate to have worked closely together during his decade-plus as State Senator to support essential social services in our community such as teen enrichment, support for early childhood education, turkey giveaways, programming for our older adults, and so much more.
