In the elegant galleries of The Frick Collection—a museum housed in the former mansion of industrialist Henry Clay Frick—you will find some of the most exceptional works of Western art. Ranging from the Renaissance through the late nineteenth century, the Collection includes works by such celebrated artists as Bellini, Constable, Corot, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Goya, El Greco, Holbein, Ingres, Manet, Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Titian, Turner, Velázquez, Vermeer, and Whistler. In addition to major paintings by these and other masters, the Frick’s galleries contain fine French porcelains, Italian bronzes, sculptures, and period furniture. The permanent collection is further enriched by frequent presentations of special exhibitions. Established by Henry Clay Frick, the museum was greeted with awe when the doors first opened in 1935. It has grown over the years, while maintaining the special ambiance of an art connoisseur’s mansion, and today the Frick is internationally renowned as one of New York’s most remarkable cultural treasures.

The museum collection covers a range of media, including painting, sculpture, works on paper, decorative arts, and photographs created in Austria and Germany between 1890 and 1940. The extended Neue Galerie collection is comprised of works belonging to Ronald S. Lauder, to the Estate of Serge Sabarsky, and to the museum itself. The Austrian material emphasizes the special relationship that existed in Vienna circa 1900 between the fine and decorative arts. Major artists in the field of fine arts include Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Richard Gerstl. Decorative arts include the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops) and the designs of such well-known figures as Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche. The architects Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner are also represented. The collection of German art focuses on important movements of the early twentieth century. Max Beckmann, as well as Expressionist artists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde, receive special attention. The Bauhaus is well represented, with strength in the area of decorative arts.

On February 1, 1901 a group of nine artists and one advising businessman founded the Society, and by 1939 the Society had moved to its current headquarters in an 1875 carriage house located at 128 East 63rd Street. In 1981 the Museum of American Illustration was established which now features the art of such legendary artists as Rockwell, Pyle, Wyeth, Kent, Peak, Fuchs and Holland, as well as contemporary artists. In 2012 the Society received the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, and created the MoCCA gallery in the second floor. Since then the Society has exhibited works by legendary artists Arnold Roth, Bill Griffith, and Harvey Kurtzman. The Society is also proud to now host the annual MoCCA Arts Festival.

Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare going through the borough of Manhattan in New York City, United States. It stretches from West 143rd Street in Harlem to Washington Square North at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. It is considered among the most expensive and best shopping streets in the world.HistoryThe lower stretch of Fifth Avenue extended the stylish neighborhood of Washington Square northwards. The high status of Fifth Avenue was confirmed in 1862, when Caroline Schermerhorn Astor settled on the southwest corner of 34th Street, and the beginning of the end of its reign as a residential street was symbolized by the erection, in 1893, of the Astoria Hotel on the site of her house, later linked to its neighbor as the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel (now the site of the Empire State Building). Fifth Avenue is the central scene in Edith Wharton's 1920 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Age of Innocence. The novel describes New York's social elite in the 1870s and provides historical context to Fifth Avenue and New York's aristocratic families.
The International Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Program supports the post-doctoral research of promising young scientists who work and train in collaboration with mentors at major cancer centers in the United States and Italy. Mobile No-Cost Breast Cancer Screening Program AICF’s Mobile Mammography Program serves economically disadvantaged and medically underserved women in New York City who are age 40 and over and have not had a mammogram in the last 12 months. Many of these women have geographic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to receiving screening services and do not make annual screenings for breast cancer a priority. AICF’s mobile clinics travel to priority neighborhoods in the five boroughs to deliver mammograms, clinical breast exams, and instruction in breast self exam. The Program’s mobile nature makes it easy to access important—and potentially lifesaving—breast cancer screening services. All services are provided at no cost, regardless of health insurance status. The generous support of the following contributors is funding the Program during 2010-11: Avon Foundation Breast Health Outreach Program Jane Beasley Foundation The Council of the City of New York Disney VoluntEARS Community Fund Joy Germont Mr. and Mrs. Todd Hollander The Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G.

Students for Justice in Palestine (Hunter SJP) is a diverse group of students, faculty, staff, and community members at Hunter College, organized on democratic principles to raise awareness about the human rights violations committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. And to build solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for human rights, justice, freedom, self-determination and the right of return. We organize around the principles of the Palestinian Civil Society call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel. SJP believes that while the Palestinian people must ultimately be able to decide their future in Palestine, certain key principles, grounded in international law, human rights, and basic standards of justice, will be fundamental to a just resolution of the plight of the Palestinians. These include the full decolonization of all illegally held Palestinian lands; the end of the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank; including East Jerusalem; the implementation of the right of return and repatriation for all Palestinian refugees to their original homes and properties; and an end to the Israeli system of Apartheid and discrimination against the indigenous Palestinian population. Just as SJP condemns the racism and discrimination underlying the policies and laws of the state of Israel, SJP rejects any form of hatred or discrimination against any religious or ethnic group. SJP’s strength is in the great diversity of its membership. SJP welcomes individuals of all backgrounds to join in solidarity with the struggle for justice in Palestine.

The Knickerbocker Greys, founded in 1881, is the oldest after school activity for boys and girls ages 6 to 16. Cadets are afforded opportunities over the years to develop their character, confidence, perseverance, social skills, and problem solving in a manner unlike any other found in New York City and likely the country. The group’s name was derived from the original uniform’s knee-length pants that were known as "knickerbockers,” and the color of the dress uniform, “Cadet Grey.” Over 4,500 New Yorkers have been members of the Knickerbocker Grey Cadet Corps over the past 134 years, including Nelson and David Rockefeller, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Pierpont Morgan Hamilton, Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., John Lindsay, and Lowell Thomas. Today, the Greys are a part of living history and still proudly drill at the landmarked Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue at 66th Street. Boys and girls from a diverse cross section of public, private and parochial schools throughout New York City have participated in the Knickerbocker Greys. Confidence building starts the first day of drill. The main focus of each weekly meeting, led by a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and his young officers, is to instill in each cadet a sense of self-discipline, leadership, compassion, and orderliness. As cadets master Drill and Ceremony, they become self-assured in their own abilities. Drill includes, marching, crack company, and posting of the Colors at patriotic events. As cadets rise through the ranks they develop confidence and leadership as they instruct the younger cadets. Each rank, from private to cadet colonel has new leadership challenges. Cadets look forward to participation in various field trips, as well as, historical and civic events. All of the activities ensure that the cadets develop an esprit de corps. The corps of cadets has traditional dine-ins and reviews each year at both the Seventh Regiment Armory’s Drill Hall and other historical venues in Manhattan. Cadets receive leadership training and are given opportunities to be in leadership roles as squad leaders, company commanders, and staff officers. Cadets develop skills such as how to motivate others, empathy, patience, supervise junior cadets, and command a group of peers. These elements of leadership help the cadets in all areas of their school lives now and with their jobs, careers and families later in life. The discipline, orderliness, fairness and kindness that characterize the Greys experience are ideals that most parents want for their children, but there are few ways of imparting them in the usual after-school activities. Thanks to the Corps' leadership, the Greys are still one way for the children of New York City to develop those attributes.
