Carter Burden Gallery presents The Difference We’ve Made, featuring new work by twenty-three women artists active and successful in New York City’s art world in the 1970’s.

As much of the U.S. continues to face dangerous temperatures this weekend, health authorities are urging the public to give special attention to the elderly.

Senior community centers turned into cooling centers Tuesday and Wednesday for older New Yorkers trying to escape the heat.

Giant fans flowed over the chatter of lunchtime at the Covello Center for older adults in East Harlem.

Art of all kinds is on display at a unique exhibit highlighting older artists. The "Together Apart" show demonstrates how the artists found an outlet in each other.

There’s a unique art exhibit at El Barrio’s Artspace PS 109 in Spanish Harlem. The exhibit is called “Together Apart” and it features seventy-five pieces created by the older residents of Spanish Harlem.

Lehman Village neighbors painted and colored pieces of art to create permanent murals for older adults to enjoy.

In Votives: Sculptures by Nancy Azara, the artist presents carved and painted sculptures from 2010 to the present that record a journey of ideas and memories around the unseen and the unknown, reflecting on time and mortality through facets of her personal history. Azara’s use of real tree limbs and vines alongside arboreal imagery act as stand-ins for her own presence and as expressions of the dogged persistence of life. Processes of pressing and rubbing, cutting, and pasting, scraping, and gouging are evident throughout the finished images and objects.

I have been living with the most magnificent sculpture by the great feminist artist, Nancy Azara, for more than fourteen years now. It is a living, breathing work of wall art, it’s vibrant colors enhance every other color in my living room. In this piece, Azara incorporated our handprints, both mine and my partner’s, into a work of gilded gold, magenta/maroon/ruby, red/orange, green, and silver. Its predecessor was an inspired work she did for a hospital hallway in which she incorporated the healing hands of the doctors: “Hand Garden/Doctor’s Wall” (2004).
