The next deadline for applications is March 22, 2024. For more information on this grant go to www. huntingtonarts.org Harvest & Siren Songs by Kara Arena was a collaboration with local farmers from Restoration Farm in Bethpage. On what was their final Farm Stand of 2023, Kara performed her project for the community as they collected their last crops of the season. The songs are deeply tied to themes of nature. As Long Island becomes ever more polluted and concrete, Kara’s goal through music and storytelling is to remind us how much we truly need to hold on to our connection to the earth.
