Partnerships aiming to minimize construction waste in Central New York, address isolation and cognitive loss through performance, and promote and nurture local startups received the annual Cornell Town-Gown Awards, announced Nov. 16 at Cinemapolis.
Known as the TOGOs and now in their 14th year, the awards celebrate cooperation between the university and the greater Ithaca community.
Two of the awardees — Beth Milles’ Heading into Night: a clown play about … (forgetting) and The Cherry Arts, and CR0WD (Circularity, Reuse, Zero Waste Development — are Einhorn Center grant recipients.
