There’s something special about the moment when artists and audiences come together after a performance, when the lights come up, the applause fades, and the conversation begins. This residency was more than a performance! It was a living example of how art brings community together. We’re proud to have hosted Brooklyn Ballet at NFAC and to celebrate our one-year anniversary with this unforgettable collaboration.

On April 26, we welcomed two legendary figures in American film: casting director Bonnie Timmermann, whose career has launched some of Hollywood’s most recognizable names, and actor-director Tony Goldwyn, known for his iconic roles on screen and powerful work behind the camera. Together, they brought depth, humor, and heart to our screening of Bonnie, the documentary exploring Bonnie’s career and lasting legacy.

Our Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party fundraiser was a dazzling success! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised over $100,000 toward our elevator project while honoring Joe McKay.

Guests arrived in red-carpet attire, enjoying signature cocktails, an impressive silent auction, and live entertainment throughout the evening. Special thanks to The Catered Fork for the delicious food, Clarkes Garden & Home for beautiful florals, and photographer David Benthal who captured the glamorous moments.

Thank you to all the students who participated!

Get ready for an exciting summer at the North Fork Arts Center. This year, you’ll find something for everyone.
