  • Doc Hardy Hosts Inaugural Juneteenth Celebration In Norwalk
    Doc Hardy has music and radio broadcasting in his blood. His father, Hal Hardy, was “DJ Soul on Ice” in the 1970’s, and was a pioneer in Connecticut for black radio personalities. He appeared on WNLK in Norwalk, WSTC in Stamford, WICC in Bridgeport, WINE in Danbury and WEBE in Westport.
    Tone used to help his Dad DJ weddings and events in CT and NY in the 1970’s and was a DJ himself from 1984 into the 1990’s. Always a lover of Soul and Jazz music, Tone launched the Jazz radio show, “Jazz On Ice – The Sunday Brunch”, in January of 2017 on WNLK and WSTC. He joined WPKN in 2108 and continues in his mission to preserve Soul music, or as his father says, “put Soul on Ice.” “Music is medicine,” he closes each show with, “…and I AM The Doctor.”
    His show is now called The Doc Hardy Show, and airs on WPKN every other Sunday at 7AM and he fills in Thursdays at 4 PM and Saturdays at 10 PM as requested.
    Doc was also involved with yesterday’s Juneteenth celebration in Norwalk on the Green.

  • Spotlight On Arts & Culture | June 13, 2022 | The Norwalk Art Space
    Hosted by David Green of The Cultural Alliance Of Fairfield County.
    The Norwalk Art Space – Increasing opportunities and equity in the local arts community
    Our June program featured The Norwalk Art Space (TNAS), celebrating its first anniversary this month as a 5-star arts center that promotes local artists, offers free art classes to high-schoolers and provides a welcoming space for the public to enjoy the arts and music. It is located in a beautifully renovated Christian Science Church adjacent to Norwalk's Mathews Park.
    TNAS celebrates its first anniversary with a gala June 23, has just signed an agreement with the Sono Collection mall to host an extension gallery, has just received an Award of Merit from PreservationCT for the quality of the renovation of this historic building, and the visionary founder of TNAS, Alexandra Korry received a posthumous ACE Award from the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County at its 2022 ACE Awards Breakfast this month. Alexandra died shortly before the Norwalk Art Space was opened, and the building, ADK House, is named in her honor.
    Hear Alexandra's husband and partner in this venture, Robin Panovka speak about the journey to create the Space and how he judges its success; Duvian Montoya, Artistic and Education Director speak about the impact of the first year of TNAS on himself and the community; and hear Lorena Sferlazza, one of the first four "Resident Artists," who taught Norwalk high-schoolers in exchange for a studio in the building speak about its impact on herself as an artist, her students, and the community.
