MISSION
The Village Arts Commission was established by the Village Board of Trustees to enrich the lives of Hastings-on-Hudson residents through the arts.
* We work with government agencies and representatives, the schools, private corporations and individuals, and other community groups.
* We develop and oversee standards for promoting, accepting and displaying art for temporary exhibition and permanent installation including visual, performing, literary and all art forms by residents as well as creative arts brought to Hastings-on-Hudson for the benefit of the community.
* We promote the use of the village’s public spaces for displaying creative arts including the Municipal Building, Community Center and outdoor venues.
* We develop new arts programs and events for under-served members of our diverse population.
* We participate in the marketing plans and economic development plans of the village by promoting the arts through diverse media vehicles.
* We would like to establish a permanent home (facility) for the arts in Hastings-on-Hudson.

Artist's statement: “Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But finally there are still others which a man is even afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has a considerable number of such things stored away.” - “Notes from the Underground” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“I make paintings and objects largely as memorials to commemorate the more internal and ephemeral aspects of life. When I work I like to think about the universe in an animistic sense that encompasses all the natural world including our ancestors, animals, plants, insects, the elements – and the life forces and experiences connecting all of these.”
- Susan Patricia Cooper
Memory Lane
building a community of memories
by Marie-Claude Giroux
December 2010- March 2011
The Hastings-on-Hudson Arts Commission is pleased to present Memory Lane, an outdoor sculpture installation by Marie-Claude Giroux. The project, curated by Jim Bergesen, is the precursor to a series of juried public art projects and events designed to stimulate community-wide interest and participation in the arts. Hastings-on-Hudson has a long history of artists living and working here and we wanted to bring this aesthetic presence into the everyday experience of residents.
Memory Lane, with its colorful houses on stilts are strategically placed throughout the village; Fulton Park in front of the Hastings-on-Hudson Public Library, the James Harmon Community Center, the VFW Park and the mailbox island near the train station--is intended to elicit memories, hopes and dreams of home and community.
Residents of all ages are invited to share their responses. To facilitate this, miniatures of the sculptures have been placed throughout the village as collection points; these are located at the Library, the Station Café and the Community Center. Responses may also be submitted through the project’s website at www.4memorylane.com.
The project will run through March 2011, and will culminate in the publication of a book containing the collected responses.
