We are incredibly grateful to be able to donate to Kite's Nest, a local organization that educates and empowers youth. At a time of shared struggle and uncertainty, community support and collaboration are essential to all of our well-being. 

Located in Hudson, NY, Kite's Nest's mission is to build the collective capacity of young people and to bring about personal transformation, social connection, healing, and systemic change. Kite's Nest creates youth-centered spaces of radical imagination and creativity and supports youth-led movements for equity and justice that transform the conditions impacting young people's lives. Their programs engage experiential education, the arts, meaningful job training, and civic action as tools for building community power.

Through sales from A Show of Hands, we were able to donate over $2,400 to Kite's Nest. Our deepest gratitude to all who visited the show, supported the exhibiting artists, and purchased work.

Cheers to a brighter outlook under new leadership ahead. Wishing everyone a safe holiday season and hope to see you soon. Our exhibitions Allison Schulnik: Moth, and Aaron Skolnick: Moving in like black ships will be on view until December 20.
