Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Arts Foundation Honors were held on Sunday, January 29, 2017, 4-6pm, at Fish Restaurant in Ridgewood. Honorees for this inaugural event are Parlance Chamber Concerts and Art of Motion, two iconic Ridgewood performing arts organizations.
The event was hosted by former deputy mayor Albert Pucciarelli, now president of the Ridgewood Arts Foundation. Pucciarelli opened the evening by acknowledging those in attendance, including members of the Board of Education, council members and you guessed it former mayor Paul Aronsohn.
The Ridgewood Arts Foundation, a public charitable 501(c)(3) foundation, was created to provide funding for the many worthy artistic endeavors within our village, to encourage the further development of the arts in our community, and to establish a scholarship fund for art students from Ridgewood.
Can we please stop using that picture of Gwenny? I don’t really think she was licking her lips at Pooch.
The Ridgewood Arts Association was created as a platform for ex mayor and ex deputy mayor and is doing so.
I hope attendees did not have trouble finding parking for Fish, a place that many other residents and I will never patronize.
12:22 I heartily agree. It really is not a pleasant picture, no matter what it is intended to prove.
