IN THE NEWS | | | Renowned “mindscapes” painter Richard Mayhew has died at the age of 100. Ahead of its anniversary open-call exhibition, artists urge the Brooklyn Museum to stand with Palestine in a new open letter. Running concurrently with the New York Film Festival this week, the New York Counter Film Festival event was organized in protest of Lincoln Center’s ties to pro-Israel funders. A report by Creatives Rebuild New York finds that recipients of its guaranteed income program saw increased financial stability and individual well-being. |
