Musicians who have performed in the series have included Marilyn Maye, Tito Puente, Karen Mason, Petula Clark, Ben Vereen, Bette Midler, Leslie Uggams, Karen Akers, Tom Wopat, Ann Hampton Callaway, Bo Diddley and Ronnie Spector. Students and seniors can purchase discounted tickets for $12-$15 each. All events are also open to the general public for $25 or $30. The audiences are drawn from health and mental health facilities and programs for seniors, as well as frail elderly and physically disabled individuals who may rarely have opportunities to experience the thrill of live performance. It takes place primarily in the daytime, at wheelchair-accessible venues throughout New York City that can accommodate large audiences. HAI arranges and produces the Community Performing Arts Series (CPAS) throughout the year. Visitors who are not interested in buying are encouraged and welcome to visit the gallery. To view works from HAI’s archive, which are also for sale, please call to schedule an appointment with curator Quimetta Perle. The work by these participants is featured in six exhibitions each year and available for sale during receptions and regular office hours. It is an outgrowth of the Arts Workshops program and the HAI Art Studio-both art-making opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. The Gallery at HAI inside HAI’s SoHo loft space is open to the public. (HAI) provides cultural access to music, dance, theater and the visual arts, reaching out to the frail elderly, mentally and physically disabled, seriously ill children at health and social service facilities and youth in grades K through 12.
