HUDSY’s Community Awards Show and Fundraiser
The HUDSYS, March 25, 2026 at Old Dutch Church in Kingston starting at 6 PM, is a new Oscar’s-style community awards show and fundraiser honoring the artists, educators, and connectors that make the Hudson Valley a more creative, united, and inspiring place to live, featuring a glam cam, award presenters, high production value, live Brasskill brass band, and more. The winner of each category (Create, Educate, Connect, and the Golden HUDSY) will be revealed live and will each have a short documentary film created about them by HUDSY that celebrates their work and impact in the community, a prize valued at $15,000 each! In addition to the awards ceremony, there will be an after party with DJ and dancing with beverages and light bites included. Join us for a night of glamor and celebration, with all proceeds going to support HUDSY’s year-round community programming.
