Contemporary art fair Frieze returns to its pandemic-era home in Hudson Yards

by DailyBriefers May 20, 2022
written by DailyBriefers

For the second year in a row, Frieze New York, one of the world’s glitziest gatherings of contemporary art buyers, sellers and scenesters, has taken over The Shed in Hudson Yards, with some 65 galleries filling the dimple-facaded space with works from hundreds of international artists.

Yesterday was opening day for the tenth iteration of Frieze here in NYC, and though The Shed still feels like a “Plan B” sort of venue for the fair – in pre-pandemic times, the enormous white tent on Randall’s Island would host more than 200 galleries and far more glammed-up guests than can be accommodated here – there was definitely a VIP vibe to the occasion.

The galleries are spread out over The Shed’s three main exhibition floors, with snacks and beverages, including $ 30 glasses of rosé, sold in the street-level lobby and up in the skylight lounge. The big name dealers are all here, of course, including Gagosian, Pace, David Zwirner, and Hauser and Wirth. If nothing else, fairs like Frieze offer an interesting snapshot of what the world’s highest-end wheeler dealers believe to be the most important, most exciting and (not incidentally) most marketable artists of the moment.

There are very few timed-entry tickets still available to the public for the weekend, at about $ 70 a person. Or if you just want to look at more photos of art – or, heck, maybe even buy some of the “under $ 25,000” stuff – everyone can access the fair’s digital component, Frieze Viewing Room, from now through Sunday.

Development on Armageddon Time was originally announced in 2019, when it was revealed director James Gray would write and direct the feature film.

The American period drama film is described as a coming-of-age story about growing up in Queens in the 1980s and stars Anne Hathaway.

The film will center on the filmmaker’s experience at Kew-Forest School in Queens, New York, where former President Donald Trump was an alumnus.

‘Unbelievable’: Restaurant owner describes mayhem amid Grubhub ‘Free Lunch’ promo

by DailyBriefers May 20, 2022
written by DailyBriefers

A sweet incentive turned sour after restaurants were not able to successfully fulfill the “overwhelming demand” prompted from Grubhub’s ‘FREELUNCH’ promotion in New York City on Tuesday.

The promotion, which occurred between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET on May 17, allowed New York City residents to use the promo code FREELUNCH at checkout in the Grubhub app for up to $15 off their order.

Eager customers immediately took advantage of the deal, but restaurant owners were ill-prepared for what was to come.

“We were hit right at 11 AM with 25 times our normal amount of orders with no way to deliver them,” Chad Vignuelle, the owner of Harlem Public on Broadway and 149th Street, told Yahoo Finance. “We use a third-party delivery company whose drivers were so slammed they just would shut off their app because they could not deal with the amount of orders.”

Vignuelle added that “I have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to offer free lunch to one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world, during the same exact 3-hour timespan. It’s unbelievable really.”

According to Vignuelle, restaurant owners like himself were not notified about the promotion “or the magnitude of what it would be” with enough time to make adjustments.

Following the influx of orders, Vignuelle said he received angry calls from customers yelling about not receiving their orders.

“They don’t understand the underlying problem of this is that there are just simply not enough drivers in the city to deliver all of these orders,” he said. “The customers then call Grubhub and demand and receive their refund. All that means is we don’t see the money on the orders that were all made but failed to be delivered.”

In a statement to Yahoo Finance, a spokesperson for Grubhub said: “To help businesses prepare for yesterday’s promotion, we gave advance notice to all restaurants in our network, which included multiple forms of communications across various platforms. We also increased driver incentives to help support demand.”

The spokesperson noted that the app saw an “unprecedented demand” in the three-hour window. The ‘FREELUNCH’ promotion was redeemed six times higher than a similar promotion 2021, “which had a higher promotion value” with the app averaging 6,000 orders per minute. In total, more 450,000 orders were successfully filled using the promotion.

“Even with that preparation, there was unfortunately strain on some restaurants due to the unprecedented demand,” the Grubhub spokesperson said. “However, we’ve already been hearing from many of our partners about how this was a success and a positive boost to their business. We have great learnings to help us optimize and mitigate this in the future.”

Prestigious Houston suburb unveils plans for game-changing town square

by DailyBriefers May 20, 2022
written by DailyBriefers

The mark of a vibrant town is an equally vibrant town square — and towards that end, a major Houston suburb will break ground next year on a game-changing city center.

A new hub dubbed Memorial Town Square is coming to the bustling Memorial City/77024 area at Barryknoll Lane and Gessner Road, MetroNational, the Houston-based developer, announced.

Plans call for a transformation of Memorial City’s 300 acres, a reimagining of the 1.7 million square-foot Memorial City Mall, new multi-family residential units, an office tower, and office and co-working spaces. Specifically, the 27-acre, 190,000 square-feet of retail in the new Memorial Town Square will debut in 2025; construction will begin in 2023, per a press release.

Visitors can expect more than 40 aspirational and emerging food and lifestyle brands; some 35 percent will be food and beverage, ranging from chef-driven restaurants to fast casual food experiences — all with al fresco dining — per MetroNational.

To enhance the walkability experience, the town square will provide valet and convenient parking, electric car charging stations, private outing and corporate event planning, car washing, and rentals for strollers and baggage, wheelchairs, umbrellas, and cell phone chargers.

Adding to the town square aesthetic, the destination promises walkable streetscapes, lush landscape and a town square centered around expansive green space, all meant to host art, entertainment, and experiential events.

As for the nuts and bolts, MetroNational tasked Gensler as design architect; Office of James Burnett as landscape architect; RSM Design for environmental graphics and wayfinding; RUE as leasing consultant; and Pacific Retail Capital Partners as development consultant. 

“MetroNational has been working towards this day for more than 25 years,” said Jason Johnson, president of MetroNational, in a statement. “Memorial Town Square was designed for the community with the hope that they would one day consider it a part of their daily lives — hence the name. Memorial Town Square gives a nod to the small town feel that only Houstonians know and understand. Houston may be a metropolitan city; however, Houstonians enjoy having a place that feels like it is all their own.”

Native education programs win grants from AZ education department

by DailyBriefers May 19, 2022
written by DailyBriefers

Some people go through life without ever having a mentor, but the Native SOAR program is working to change that for Indigenous students — whether they’re in kindergarten or doctoral students.

“It’s a recruitment, mentoring and professional development hub that serves our Indigenous students, all the way from kindergarten to graduate students, as well as Arizona educators,” said Native SOAR Director Amanda Cheromiah. 

GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Native SOAR (Student Outreach Access and Resiliency) is a University of Arizona program providing multigenerational mentoring that is culturally grounded in Indigenous teachings and ways of knowing.

“We center the needs of Indigenous students and provide highly engaging and effective programming for Indigenous students, families and educators at no cost,” the program’s website says.

Before the pandemic hit in 2020, Cheromiah said they were serving about four schools in-person, but they had to adjust to online services amid COVID-19. The opened the program up to students from more than 140 schools across the Southwest.

“With the pandemic, we learned that we have the capacity to serve beyond Indigenous students and really get involved with our Arizona educators who serve Indigenous students,” Cheromiah said, adding they launched their teacher mentoring program virtually.

“The pandemic really caused us to think bigger,” she said. Doing so led the program jto expand to providing professional development services in addition to culturally appropriate curriculum.

With the help of a grant from the Arizona Department of Education, the Native SOAR program at the University of Arizona hopes to expand its mentoring program and provide more quality services to Indigenous students and Arizona educators, both in person and online.

On Tuesday, the Arizona Department of Education announced it had awarded two grants to programs that serve Native American students and families in the state.

“In reviewing data from past years, we know that our Native students deserve more targeted support,” State Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman said in a press release. 

“My administration is committed to ensuring that Native students have additional holistic resources inside and outside of the classroom,” she added. “These investments reflect that priority, and we are proud to invest in additional resources for Native communities.”

Native SOAR is one of the recipients, along with the Akimel O’Otham Pee Posh Charter School.

Native SOAR was awarded $1.2 million and Akimel O’Otham Pee Posh Charter School was awarded $598,000.

The grant for the Akimel O’Otham Pee Posh Charter School will be used to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on Gila River Indian Community families by providing high-quality books to establish home libraries for all enrolled preschool and kindergarten students, according to the press release.

“The Gila River Indian Community is a book desert,” Jagdish Sharma, Principal of Akimel O’Otham Pee Posh Charter School, said in a press release. 

“Our serving area has faced the scarcity of quality published content among Native American homes,” Sharma added. “This funding will help close the learning gap created by the pandemic in our community.”

As part of the grant, Cheromiah said Native SOAR will have two years to spend the funding. She said it will be aimed at closing the digital divide in tribal communities and providing mentoring to both students and teachers.

As part of the program, young Indigenous students receive a tablet, providing them access to technology that often isn’t readily available to them.

“The grant will help us to continue creating healing and innovative spaces to encourage students and communities that they are loved, and they are brilliant leaders,” she said. “We look forward to transforming Indigenous education to better serve our communities in this pandemic era.”

Both the grants were funded from funds made available by the American Rescue Plan and are part of Arizona’s ARP School and Community Grantees, according to the Arizona Department of Education. 

All the applications part of the grantee program went through a rigorous state procurement process, and all funded projects share the goal of supporting schools, students, educators and families, the website states.

The department awarded 26 grants in total. For more information on the program, visit www.azed.gov.
