The Good Life and the Milk Gallery here in New York City are celebrating renowned artist—and our good friend—Ricky Powell along with other artists in Powell’s talent group (The Rickford Institute) with an exhibition displaying classic photography from Powell and others.
After a lot of hard work, the team at Squeaky is proud to unveil our latest launch for a truly amazing organization. New York Live Arts is a non-profit formed from the merging of two established greats of the New York dance community: The renowned Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company and the Dance Theater Workshop. Together, they are an organization that strives to cultivate, showcase, and breathe new life into movement-based arts.
The team here at Squeaky has been busy as of late—and we aren’t ones to toot our own horn—but we are proud to announce the unveiling of two new sites focused on helping and educating youth.
It’s kind of hard to believe that it’s already been 10 years since the September 11th attacks. That morning, our CEO was walking across the West Side Highway when the second plane screamed over his head into the tower. So many New Yorkers have stories of loss and remembrance and in these stories we find the common theme of what it is to be a New Yorker (or an American)—grit, gumption and resolve.
We cheer to the rebirth of the new World Trade Center but we so miss the site of the twin towers and the innocence we all felt before.
This weekend there will be a multitude of events held throughout the city commemorating the event (check out a list of them here). There’s also an iPad-exclusive application surrounding the past, present and future of the World Trade Center which will remain free until September 12th. You should also check out the NY Times 9/11: The Reckoning a special report on the costs and consequences of 9/11 (very well designed).
