Community
We are proud to partner with the organizations working to make NYC a more sustainable, and just community. As a result of these partnerships, we can share vital resources, education, and services. Visit our COVID-19 response & resource page to learn more about the resources currently available to our community.
Local Heroes
Hook Arts Media is proud to spotlight the fantastic relief efforts in Red Hook during the upcoming Red Hook Fest! In this uncertain time, Red Hook’s residents, essential workers, volunteers, and community leaders have risen to the occasion to offer food, supplies, and other invaluable resources and support. We want to share a snapshot of the efforts locals have undertaken to support their neighbors, and what better time than the Red Hook Fest livestream on June 27, 2020?
Young Performers
For the first time in Red Hook Fest history, we won’t be able to host young performers on the Red Hook Fest stage. We’ve seen amazing ballet, hip hop, folk dance, and more performances from New York’s best pre-professional dancers. This year, we’ll share a tribute to some of the most powerful performances from these talented young people over our past 27 years.
