AYUDA helps students in need pursue their dreams by offering college scholarships and mentorship to advance careers in the arts.

Proceeds from the evening’s event will go toward scholarships and programs to help creative students from our urban communities develop their artistic potential, enabling them to make significant contributions to our society through the arts.
James Taratunio, President and Co-Founder of AYUDA for the Arts stated, “We are proud to provide assistance so promising artists can fulfill their educational pursuits. “A Fashionable Taste of New York” not only allows us to serve our mission, but also have a great time while helping others.”

At the event, AYUDA for the Arts honored Tina Ramirez, Founder of Ballet Hispanico; Award-winning celebrity chef Art Smith; and Kent Tritle, Master Conductor/Professor and Organist with the New York Philharmonic with a Guiding Star award for their contributions to the arts and humanitarian efforts.
Good Day New York’s Mike Woods and Ines Rosales MC'd the program, with celebrity chefs from the Food Network and The Next Iron Chef preparing their favorite dishes. Priceless auction items and thousands of dollars worth of raffle prizes were made available. Artwork and fashion designs created by former scholarship recipients were on display and available for purchase. In a rare appearance, renowned artist Billi Kid created a signature piece live at the event that was auctioned immediately following its completion.
