RiverArts welcomes you to join us for a night of Latinx dance celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month and featuring Ballet Hispánico. Premium ticket holders will enjoy the best seats in the house as well as an After-Party where you will enjoy light refreshments and salsa dancing with the dancers from Ballet Hispánico right after the concert.
National Medal of Arts recipient Tina Ramirez founded Ballet Hispánico in 1970, at the height of the post-war civil rights movements. From its inception Ballet Hispánico focused on providing a haven for Black and Brown Latinx youth and families seeking artistic place and cultural sanctuary. By providing the space for Latinx dance and dancers to flourish, Ballet Hispánico uplifted marginalized emerging and working artists, which combined with the training, authenticity of voice, and power of representation, fueled the organization’s roots and trajectory. In 2009, Ballet Hispánico welcomed Eduardo Vilaro as its Artistic Director, ushering in a new era by inserting fresh energy to the company’s founding values and leading Ballet Hispánico into an artistically vibrant future. Today, Ballet Hispánico’s New York City headquarters house a School of Dance and state-of-the-art dance studios for its programs and the arts community. From its grassroots origins as a dance school and community-based performing arts troupe, for fifty years Ballet Hispánico has stood as a catalyst for social change.
Ballet Hispánico provides the physical home and cultural heart for Latinx dance in the United States. Ballet Hispánico has developed a robust public presence across its three main programs: its Company, School of Dance, and Community Arts Partnerships.
Through its exemplary artistry, distinguished training program, and deep-rooted community engagement efforts Ballet Hispánico champions and amplifies underrepresented voices in the field. For fifty years Ballet Hispánico has provided a place of honor for the omitted, overlooked, and oppressed. As it looks to the next fifty years and beyond, Ballet Hispánico seeks to empower, and give agency to, the Latinx experience and those individuals within it.

Drink & Draw
2022-10-06 19:30 - 22:00 | Hastings Public Library, Orr Room, Lower Level, 7 Maple Avenue, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, 10706, United States
Drink & Draw

Hastings Public LibraryOrr Room, Lower level 7 Maple AvenueHastings-on-Hudson
Admission: $20 per session; Register below. You must register and pay in advance below for each session. No payments will be accepted at the door.
Drink & Draw is a modern twist on the classic artistic practice of life drawing. Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome, especially those that have always wanted to try their hand.

In this non-instructional event, we aim to create a relaxing, social and inclusive environment for the community to come together for a fun night of drawing. After some mingling with fellow guests, participants will have an opportunity to capture the human body in poses of different lengths, with breaks for refreshments in between.
There’s wine, crackers, cheese and cookies to enjoy, and our host curates a playlist to keep your energy flowing. The evening lasts about 2 ½ hours, and participants leave with a collection of their new works… and maybe some new friends too.
RiverArts is proud to be able to provide this unique opportunity right here in our Rivertowns, an opportunity which is often only accessible to art students or by traveling into New York City, with a significant investment of time and tuition. Drink & Draw offers a perfect entry-level for the amateur artist, and we have seen beginners improve significantly as their skills develop in subsequent sessions and they draw on their experience and learn from others.
Model provided. Please bring your own art supplies and arrive on time. Must be over 18 to attend. Wine for those 21+
