Hudson Guild

Since its founding in 1895, Hudson Guild has been building a community in Chelsea and beyond!

Hudson Guild is a multi-service community center serving those who live, work or go to school in Chelsea, with a focus on those in need. Our work helps knit together a dynamic and multi-faceted community, supporting and empowering individuals as they pursue their personal, family, health, and professional goals. Our activities provide a stable “home away from home” for learning and development, and a safety net for people in economic distress. Building on our roots in the settlement house tradition, Hudson Guild takes an integrated, holistic approach to providing our services and building community. With offerings as varied as community service projects for at-risk teens, mental health counseling for low-income individuals, wellness presentations for seniors and art gallery exhibitions, the Guild works to address and engage the range of needs for its participants.

Thankful for a successful Annual Turkey Giveaway event last week! We provided free turkeys and sides to families and individuals, ensuring everyone can enjoy a special Thanksgiving. This event is a reminder of the power of community and connection. We were also thrilled to connect attendees to our free programs and support services, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need, no matter the season.

We extend our sincere thanks to New York State Senator and our partners at Amazon and Jamestown/Chelsea Market for helping make this event and other holiday efforts possible. A warm thanks as well to New York State Assembly Member for joining us and lending a hand with the giveaway. Now more than ever, your support is crucial and deeply appreciated.

The (Secret) Garden, an installation by Yuko Uchida, is up at Hudson Guild Gallery, 441 West 26th Street, through November 19.

The installation inspired by the artist’s engagement with the spirit of nature and folklore, expressed through her style of fantasy narrative. The installation uses painting, sculpture, and recycled materials to explore themes related to our collective hope for the environment. The philosophy of Japanese animism – the belief that all of nature has a life force – deeply informs the project.

In conjunction with the show, we held workshops for participants of all ages from the community where they created their own “creatures” inspired by nature and daily life, to express their environmental hopes. The creatures crafted during the workshops are now integrated into the installation on display.

Viewing Hours:
Tuesdays - Fridays 10:00AM - 6:00PM
& Saturdays 12:00pm-3:00pm

Join us on Monday, October 20th at 6:30pm at Hudson Guild Elliott Center, 441 West 26th Street, for a book talk with Eve M. Kahn about her new biography, Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death. RSVP for free at https://bit.ly/4nwU9jN . For any questions, please email newsletter@hudsonguild.org.

Zoe Anderson Norris was a woman ahead of her time. A Kentucky-born belle turned fearless Manhattan journalist, Zoe (as everyone called her) used her pen as a weapon in the fight for justice. From exposing slumlords and corrupt politicians to advocating for impoverished immigrants, she captured the injustices of her era with a wit and tenacity that still resonate today.

In the new biography Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death: Gilded-Age Journalist Zoe Anderson Norris (Fordham U. Press), independent scholar Eve Kahn restores Zoe’s legacy, illuminating her work as a novelist, magazine publisher, and social reformer who challenged the powerful and gave voice to the oppressed.
