BUILD NEW JOB SKILLS:

Employers value the talents older workers bring to the workplace and are looking for people like you.  If you’re 55 or older with a low income, local organizations are ready to help you refresh your job skills and re-enter the workforce.

You’ll be placed in a part-time community service training assignment to gain experience.  You can serve your community — at libraries, hospitals, senior centers and other local organizations — while expanding your skills and earning an income.

SCSEP local office staff will help you to secure the training you need and will assist you in making the transition to a job that’s right for you.

Age is an asset. Experience, a benefit.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition Plain or Fancy? Restraint and Exuberance in the Decorative Arts culls highlights from the Met’s permanent collections to contrast restrained—plain—works of art with richly ornamented—fancy—ones, focusing on those moments in history when pendulum shifts made a sharp swing in one direction or another. Wayne Koestenbaum (The Queen’s Throat, Humiliation), one of today’s most influential and controversial cultural critics, joins Luke Syson, Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Curator in Charge, European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, for a conversation exploring the ways in which stylistic choices may also be moral ones—and how our aesthetic responses are shaped by shame and judgment. Do you like your art “plain” or “fancy”? And what does taste mean, really?

The Sugar Hill project has been a long road for Broadway Housing Communities amidst controversial design issues, creative financing, museum accreditation,  but Ellen Baxter, executive director, and team have successfully guided the project to its first milestone.

The project is scheduled for completion spring of 2014 and will add  124 affordable housing units to the West Harlem community, on-site child care for 120 kids below ages of three, after-school programs, and 17,000 sq. ft. of gallery space.
