Hook Arts Media receives Cares Act funding.

Hook Arts Media (formerly Red Hook’s Dance Theater ETC) has been approved for a $50,000 award as part of the federal CARES Act.

Hook Arts Media (HAM) is one of the 855 arts organizations approved for CARES Act funding.

HAM’s in-school multidisciplinary programs primarily serve NYC transfer high schools. Also, Hook Arts Media’s community filmmaking programs pay young people as they create films while improving their media literacy.

Hook Arts Media has been able to continue their arts and media education by pivoting to online platforms. An example of this is that they launched a free digital dance class via Zoom four days a week, hip hop is offered two days a week and salsa is offered the other two days.

Court Street redesign was justified by an anecdotal survey

In the battle of Court Street, common arguments around the thoroughfare in its former and current conditions include double parking, traffic safety concerns, deliveries and modes of access to the corridor.
