Artist Statement: Our Piano was inspired by the views of Lower Manhattan surrounding the piano studio and, in particular, by the architectural details of the former Chase Manhattan Bank building located across the plaza on Pine Street. The elegant motifs of the 1928 setback skyscraper suited the Piano's subtle lines and scale. The blues and golds come from the surrounding sky and the sunlight reflected in the windows below.
Sundays at JASA is a one of a kind college level continuing education program for adults 55+. It offers a forum for older adults to explore public policy issues, and facilitates the development of a wider circle of friends and fellowship among the members. Established in 1982, the program serves on average, between 350 and 400 people each year from throughout the City of New York. The program’s location at John Jay College affords us the opportunity to have the number of classrooms necessary to accommodate the number of courses offered and the growing number of participants. http://www.jasa.org. JASA is one of New York’s largest and most trusted agencies serving 43,000 older adults in the New York area each year. Our mission is to sustain and enrich the lives of the aging in the New York metropolitan area so that they can remain in the community with dignity and autonomy.
