The fall 2025 Composers Now and Asian Cultural Council (ACC) residency brought composer Younje Cho and filmmaker Renu Savant to Pocantico.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) announced it would award its annual Pocantico Prize for Visual Artists to Chie Fueki. Drawing on her experience as a Japanese-born artist growing up in Brazil and later practicing in the United States, Fueki’s work embraces the visual language of these three distinct cultures. 

The new Pocantico Prize will recognize visual artists with $25,000 and a two-month residency at the David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center.

In Are The Arts Essential?, a new anthology from NYU Brademas Center, composer Tania Leon explores art's role in family, identity, and justice.

Revisions to the Culpeper Arts & Culture program guidelines emphasize community building and social impact, prioritize artist-centered and multidisciplinary work, advance the Fund’s anti-racist and anti-sexist commitments, ensure attention to accessibility, and celebrate innovation and artistic excellence.

Upstart Co-Lab's The Guide: what cultural institutions need to know about investing for values and mission describes how impact investing can help cultural organizations multiply their impact and invest in the creative economy.

The initiative, made through the Fund’s Culpeper Arts and Culture program, will support a range of exhibitions, programs, residencies, and other projects that provide greater visibility and opportunities for artists who are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, as well as for women and LGBTQ artists, whose work continues to be underrepresented in major American museums.

The Pocantico Center will adapt the historic Rockefeller Orangerie for cultural and sustainability programming.

In addition to participating in a week-long residency to develop a new piece called 'us/we' in tandem with artist José Parlá, the company performed excerpts from their repertoire as well as a preview of new works.
