STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Don’t call it a comeback!
The Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden is reopening its doors this weekend after being shut due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
With strict social distancing and capacity regulations, the space was unable to hold in-person events or display exhibitions during the pandemic. But that changes this weekend with the launch of “Zoë Tirado: Ghoulfriends” and “JillWrites: On Art and Poetics.”
I was finally able to trace our organization’s DNA when
Mrs. Graça Machel came to Seattle to reconnect with her VillageReach “family.” Ma Machel was a VillageReach founding advisor and the inspiration to deliver lasting changes to health care for the under-reached. A force behind global shifts in policy and political will for women and girls, she has impressed upon us many lessons. One was “to know and intimately understand the communities in which we work, and to ensure their voices are represented.” Another is that “progress is
always achieved through partnership.”
