New York Restoration Project (NYRP) celebrated over two and a half decades of championing urban green spaces and community gardens with its 26th annual Halloween Gala – Hulaween and the Seven Deadly Sins. Check out the photos here.

Bette Midler hosted her annual Hulaween event, with this year's theme being 'Hulaween in the Cosmos.'

The Hudson River Park has announced that they will honor Award-winning actor, Claire Danes; Deputy Mayor, City of New York & Vice Chair, Hudson River Park Trust, Alicia Glen and Chairman & CEO, RXR Realty LLC, Scott Rechler at the 2018 Gala on Thursday, October 11th at Pier 62 in Hudson River Park.

It was my honor to join the Chashama Board and host the Chashama Art Party this year. Chashama is known for their outrageous annual gala and art party, and this year was no disappointment. The Gala presented over 150 artists in an immersive labyrinth of installations and performances on June 7th. Highlights included, fire meets art showman, Flambeaux and his gorgeous wax covered troupe, melting and dripping burning candles onto each other and willing patrons, VR masked artists on Toto bidets with keyboards, performers moonlighting as sushi platters, stiletto heeled pole dancers, painters, acrobats, and Harlequin clowns with sparkle and confetti guns. It's a joyous celebration in Times Square; The Chashama Gala and Art Party is like New Year's Eve in June!

Last night, Bette Midler hosted her annual HULAWEEN, an event to benefit her New York Restoration Project. Go inside the star-studded event with BroadwayWorld below!

2015 marks chashama's 20th Anniversary of giving artists the space the create. On this momentous occasion, we invite you to celebrate our achievements at the annual gala, which raises funds to provide essential performance, exhibit, and work space to thousands of artists throughout NYC at free or low-cost rates. For one evening only, we will transform the former Conde Nast office and dining hall designed by Frank Gehry into a live demonstration of our programs since our founding in 1995. The evening will feature performances and interactive art experiences showcasing the process of activating unused spaces for artists and audiences. We invite you to participate in the art-making and celebration.
