The event is open to the entire community and will include games and crafts, a bounce house, tasty food, and a rummage sale. We can't wait to have a fun-filled day with our community.
In late 2022, Mount Sinai Beth-Israel, the parent corporation of the 200-year-old New York Eye and Ear Infirmary that serves people with hearing and vision disabilities, applied before the Public Health and Health Planning Council to merge operating certificates with the Infirmary — a tactic that would enable MSBI to more easily move services out of the site and around the city, paving the way for a sale of the historic Infirmary.
When we launched Bandcamp Daily back in 2016, we set for ourselves a simple and direct mission statement: Bandcamp Daily exists to shine a light on artists all over the world who are using Bandcamp to connect with fans.And almost 10 years later, we’re still excited about finding new ways to introduce people to great new artists... we're thrilled to announce that Bandcamp is expanding again, with a brand new weekly show on New York City's legendary East Village Radio.... Bandcamp is honored to be joining the station's rich legacy. You can tune in every Monday night starting Monday, Oct. 14, from 6-8 p.m. to hear music featured in Bandcamp Daily stories, as well as editors' picks, interviews with artists and Bandcamp Daily writers, and much more.
Since 2016, Ms. Schiffman has been photographing dozens of her neighboring East Village apartments. Her photos depict the clutter that collects when one lives in the same home for decades, the intimacies of people's domestic lives and the homemade quality of spaces that have never been renovated.The scenes are timeless in that there are few, if any, elements that give away exactly when they were photographed — many of them look like they were captured decades ago, stuck in a past version of New York. The images are meant to be portraits of the tenants, without actually showing any people in them.With the city's housing crisis as a backdrop and with the rent-stabilization system’s promise of affordability feeling threatened, Ms. Schiffman's photos evoke a soothing, homey sentiment. The apartments she documents are unfussy and far from luxurious, but are full of character and are strongly loved homes in their own sense.
