For over a decade, HNY’s Action, Vision, and Quick Grants have supported cultural organizations in planning and implementing their humanities-based programming. In 2025, HNY will revise these offerings in order to better serve the needs and interests of public humanities practitioners across New York State.
On October 22, 2024, artist and author of Saving Time: How to Discover a Life Beyond the Clock and UC Boulder media studies professor Nathan Schneider joined Humanities New York in Poughkeepsie for a conversation on mindfulness and civic engagement in the current era.
Using dialogue, reflection, and critical thinking, Humanities New York applies the humanities to strengthen democratic society.
