HEARTS remembers Gina Farasciano and honors her with the creation of the Gina Farasciano Community Theater Grant. This new HEARTS grant will award $1000 each year to a community theater program in Port Washington. We kindly ask that you support this initiative so that Gina’s legacy to support local theater and creativity will live on in the community that she loved.

During these unprecedented times and after much discussion as an organization, HEARTS has decided to temporarily delay the deadline to apply for a 2020-2021 grant. We know the tremendous value of arts experiences to our community, and we are still committed to granting projects and initiatives. Given the domino effect of so many factors in our community and beyond, we will re-evaluate our schedule and timeline for grant applications, and provide an update in the months ahead, likely in the summer. For those applications we have already received, we will hold onto them and get back to you during the summer.
The arts continue to inspire and motivate us all, especially during these tough and uncertain times. Let's commit to creativity, discovery, and joy. We are providing resources for digital arts experiences on our Facebook page, and we hope you will consider these with your family, students, and friends. HEARTS Red Party 2020: What a great Sock Hop!Our hearts are full with pride! Thank you, Port Washington, for helping support our mission to enhance and enrich the arts and arts education in Port Washington public schools and the community. And for coming out to celebrate and honor two incredible difference makers in our community, Olga Berest and Emily Baxter!
