Created by Eva Tenuto in the aftermath of the death of her wife, Julie Novak, Life After | Afterlife is an intimate body of mixed-media paintings born from a period of profound loss. Through layered surfaces, intuitive mark making, and materials that at times incorporate fragments left behind by Novak, the work traces a path through grief, memory, and new, uncertain terrain.

LOUD y Good Work Institute los invitan a un evento de cuidado propio del Mes de la Herencia Hispana – diálogo, comida y bienestar en comunidad.
El Mes de la Herencia Hispana es una celebración de la diáspora, la cultura y la indigeneidad, y también una muestra de nuestra resiliencia y de los lazos comunitarios que nos sostienen. Es en este espíritu que los invitamos a un espacio dedicado a hispanohablantes, para conectarnos en comunidad y enraizarnos mediante nuestra conexión – más allá del idioma.
Nos reuniremos en un círculo de palabra, una práctica ancestral y comunitaria seguida de una meditación con tambor. Te invitamos a explorar lo que nos une como pueblo y a sembrar, a través de la voz y el sonido, la visión de una comunidad regenerativa que honre nuestras raíces.

LOUD and Good Work Institute invite you to a Hispanic Heritage Month self-care event — dialogue, food, and wellness in community.
Hispanic Heritage Month is a celebration of diaspora, culture, and indigeneity, and it’s also a mark of our resilience and the community bonds that hold us up. It’s in this spirit that we invite you to a dedicated space for Spanish speakers, to connect in community and root ourselves through our connection — beyond language.
Together we’ll enter into talk circle, accompanied by drum, to explore what unites us as a people and to plant, through voice and sound, a vision of what a regenerative community can be. In this way, we connect with the roots we come from.
Good Work Institute is proud to be an official partner of LOUD for Hispanic Heritage Month, co-hosting this event at GWI’s Greenhouse.
GEL 2026
At a moment when oppressive tech monopolies are hollowing out the economy and threatening democratic society, GEL serves as an oasis. During the conference, we will explore the risks of a Big Tech-dominated society while spotlighting positive, inspiring people and projects who are bringing about rebirth: new ways of creating, resisting, and living that are charting a path forward.
Founded by Mark Hurst in 2003 in NYC, GEL is a creative, multidisciplinary conference exploring good experience in all its forms. GEL 2026 is bringing together leading thinkers, innovators, and organizers from our community and beyond. Taking place Friday October 2 and Saturday October 3 at Skate Time, this gathering will feature speaker presentations, guided community building, roller parties, a catered lunch, as well as exclusive experiences with Ravenwood, Good Work Institute and Lite Brite Neon.
This event is generously sponsored by Upstate Curious, Skate Time, BjornQorn, and Good Work Institute.
