NYC unveils $164M plan for sprawling, new rec center to replace aging pool complex, preserve iconic Keith Haring mural
The city is committing $164 million to build a sprawling new rec center with two pools, an indoor gym, and public open space to replace the beloved, but aging West Village rec center where Keith Haring scrawled his iconic figures in the 80s. The state-of-the-art facility will replace the 116-year-old the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center on Clarkson Street that closed in 2021, City Hall announced Thursday. As part of the plan, officials will preserve the 18-foot-tall historic mural the late street artist painted at the outdoor pool in 1987, following community uproar over its unknown fate. New renderings of the sprawling indoor-outdoor corridor depict over 100,000 square feet of what the Mayor's office is calling a 'recreation, cultural, and fitness hub.' 4 Aerial renderings of the 100,000 sq. foot plan. NYC Parks 'This $164-million investment will revitalize a community that has consistently contributed to the rich history of our city,' Mayor Eric Adams said in a press release. The news is a major development for the shuttered Tony Dapolito pool building — which neighbors and activists have been fighting to preserve — along with Haring's mural that adorns the poolside. 4 The Tony Dapolito pool, which features an iconic mural by the artist Keith Haring. NYC Parks 'The project will explore ways to honor the site's history, including the potential reuse of exterior building elements along Seventh Avenue and Clarkson Street,' city officials said. The city reaffirmed its promise to restore the mural 'as part of the site's reimagining.' The new blueprints come after the city announced a $51 million plan in May to rebuild the pool complex — which some locals said was not enough. The revised plan was given a funding boost in part by the 10-year capital plan included in the recently adopted city budget. The $164 million number takes into account $51 million that had been set aside for the parks department's budget for the revamping of the Tony Dapolito building. 4 An example of what the indoor rec center could look like. NYC Parks / NYCâ¯DDC 'This project reflects what residents have asked for: inclusive, free, and accessible recreation that inspires healthier, more connected neighborhoods,' NYC Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said. The revitalization plan will encompass most of a block bound by Leroy, Hudson, and Clarkson Streets and 7th Avenue — which will become the site of the outdoor aquatics complex. An adjacent field to the west of the complex will remain. A separate, mapped-out rec center will take shape at 388 Hudson Street — which will boast an ADA-accessible indoor pool, gym, and programming spaces. Additional outdoor public space called the Hudson Houston Plaza will be created for pedestrians to take advantage of. 4 The Hudson Houston Plaza open space design. NYC Parks / NYC DEP/ HSBID The Hudson Houston Plaza will go into procurement imminently — separate from the outdoor pool area – while 388 Hudson is in the review process and officials are expected to choose a developer by early 2026, according to the Parks Department. The outdoor pool will be developed with the Department of Design and Construction. It's not immediately clear when the development process will begin.

A gallery show of rare Keith Haring drawings is popping up in this NYC suburb
Move over, Manhattan. This month, one of New York City's most iconic street artists is taking over a dining room with views of it. From today, August 6 through Friday, August 29, Kanopi —the modern Portuguese-inspired fine-dining spot perched 42 floors above White Plains, will trade its sweeping Hudson-to-Manhattan panoramas (well, most of them) for something a little more underground: Rare 1980s Keith Haring subway drawings. The pop-up exhibition, HARINGS!, is a collaboration between Kanopi and Greenwich-based Trimper Gallery, transforming the restaurant into a gallery lounge and immersive listening room. Lining the walls will be Haring's bold, black-and-white chalk drawings, originally scrawled on blank advertising spaces in New York's subway stations, where millions could encounter them on their daily commute. Chef Anthony Gonçalves, a James Beard Award semifinalist who grew up steeped in New York City nightlife, is pairing the visual art with a soundtrack worthy of a downtown club in its prime. The curated playlist runs while guests take in Haring's kinetic, high-energy figures—proof that even in a white-tablecloth setting, his work retains every ounce of its street-level buzz. Of course, it wouldn't be Kanopi without food worth lingering over. The HARINGS! menu riffs on cosmopolitan indulgence: a towering seafood platter with oyster, lobster, tiger shrimp and hand-picked crab; a luxe Mishima Reserve wagyu katsu sando; sourdough flatbreads topped with anchovy, oregano-roasted yeast butter and lardo; and tempura in two directions—seasonal Hudson Valley vegetables or tiger shrimp in almond beer batter. Save room for desserts like playful Japanese milk ice cream sundaes with bourbon caramel and cookie crumble or fruit ice-pops in rotating flavors. HARINGS! marks the third creative pairing between Kanopi and Trimper Gallery, following showcases of work by photographer Tyler Shields and painter Lincoln Townley. This time, Gonçalves says, the collaboration felt like a natural evolution, melding the restaurant's refined intimacy with the raw pulse of 1980s New York. For art lovers, it's a chance to see original Haring works without trekking into the city (or fighting for elbow room in a packed museum). For diners, it's proof that fine dining can be just as adventurous as a late-night gallery crawl. And for anyone nostalgic for the days when you could stumble on great art between subway stops, it's a rare opportunity to sit with it, glass of vinho verde in hand.

Absolut Chooses Travel Retail Channel For Keith Haring Launch
Absolut Haring launches from Monday, exclusively in travel retail stores until October. Following the success of the Absolut Warhol launch last year—said to be the biggest artist edition yet from the brand—Pernod Ricard's Absolut Vodka has, today, launched Absolut Haring, honoring another pop-artist icon from the same 1980's era: Keith Haring. And this time the drinks multinational is introducing the product exclusively into the travel channel ahead of global domestic markets. Haring's mission was to take art off the museum walls and make it accessible to everyone, be it through graffiti or street art. He forged his own path by using social activism to tackle issues like AIDS, which was becoming a killer epidemic at the time; apartheid; and gay rights. Pernod Ricard has aimed to capture Haring's spirit of adventure and creativity in the new Absolut artist edition bottle. It reworks his original Absolut artwork from 1986 with a modern twist, blending some of Haring's signature elements—bold 'action' lines, electric colors, and dancing figures—into the design. At the recommendation of his friend Andy Warhol, Haring became the second artist to work on the Absolut bottle, some 40 years ago. He placed its silhouette center stage and the Haring piece became a 1986 Absolut campaign classic. The core promo design and bottle harks back to this, featuring Haring's vibrant red lines and a dancing crowd of figures, set against a yellow canvas. The energetic imagery is offset by the deep blue of the Absolut logo. Keith Haring: a celebration of movement David Stark, founder and CEO of global licensing and creative agency Artestar which represents the Keith Haring Studio, commented: 'Our mission is to keep Keith Haring's spirit alive by continuing to expand access to his art and the important messages within it. This project with Absolut revives a moment that meant so much to Keith—not just creatively, but symbolically. It's a wonderful tribute that allows anyone to engage with this special story that started back in 1986.'

(Photo by) The Absolut brand, which has collaborated with 500 different artists over the years, describes the new bottle and design as 'a piece of 3D kinetic art that transforms the original painting into something you can hold, admire, and toast with friends.' Naturally, there is also a signature cocktail to go with the launch: the Absolut Haring Fizz which is an east-meets-west fusion of ingredients: crisp apple, zesty orange, toasted sesame, and a kick of ginger. Deb Dasgupta, VP global marketing at Absolut Vodka, commented at a press conference for the launch: 'It was always going to be difficult to top our last artist edition from Andy Warhol. But who better to follow him than his friend and fellow pop artist Keith Haring. He was literally democratizing art before Instagram and Pinterest.' London's Gatwick among first to have Haring Absolut Haring will land at several airport locations from July 1.. Among them will be London's Gatwick Airport through Avolta's large duty-free stores where a pop-up vending machine will serve up some exclusive Absolut Haring merchandise for buyers with a receipt. The brand is also promising eye-catching 3D billboards at major air hubs like London Heathrow and Sydney. At Heathrow, Absolut is teaming up with Uber for an add-to-wallet campaign that will allow travelers to get a gift voucher en-route to the airport that can be used towards a bottle purchase. Exclusivity in the airport channel will last until around October when Absolut Haring will land in more than 40 markets including Germany, the UK, Mexico, Canada, Australia, China, Italy, Spain, and Poland, but for a limited time only. The decision to launch at airports first is because of the combination of commercial impact, with so many travelers passing through the stores; and the space for brand storytelling in a premium, high visibility environment where potential shoppers are already in a discovery mindset and ready to part with their cash. Absolut is expecting its Keith Haring launch to be its biggest yet. Here the artist is photographed ... More with one of his paintings in April 1984. Photo by. Pernod Ricard GTR brand director Rae Gibson told me: 'Commercially, the Absolute Warhol edition did better than previous editions. A lot of that was due to the amount of support we gave to the launch; it was a major step change in how we activated and drove cultural relevance, not just being another vodka promotion. And I think Absolute Haring will do better because we have taken learning from past launches.' Dasgupta added: 'Success for us is not just commercial. Our Absolut artist editions are a way to keep the brand relevant, contemporary, and engaging for our audience and ensure the brand stays at the forefront of culture.'

Inside Madonna's moody $62 million NYC home
Fans have been given a rare glimpse inside Madonna's $US40 million ($62 million) New York City home. Fashion expert Lyas shared a peek into the 'Material Girl' singer's triple-wide Georgian townhouse on the Upper East Side in a video posted to TikTok and Instagram this week. The pop star's residence features a moody interior, luxurious finishes and several masterpieces by famous artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Page Six reports. 'Guys, this is insane. I'm in Madonna's house,' he said before filming inside the expansive manse, which reportedly has 13 bedrooms. The style guru began by showing black French doors leading to a foyer with tiled flooring and a black-painted staircase accented with a framed throwback photograph of Madonna with the late Basquiat. Upstairs, a large dining room table topped with lit candelabras was situated on a geometric rug beneath a modern chandelier. On the wall, there was a massive black-and-white portrait of Madonna, 66, reclining on a chair that acclaimed photographer Steven Klein took. Lyas then filmed inside the mother of six's office, which had bookshelves filled with accolades like her Golden Globe Awards and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame trophy. There was also a gorgeous white couch, a desk, a centre table with a pink floral arrangement, family photos and lots of art leaning in various spaces. A living room area boasted a cozy fireplace, a seating area and a piano surrounded by guitars. 'This is giving coven,' Lyas joked of the shadowy space before showing off a framed image of the Queen of Pop with former President Barack Obama — signed by the politician. The room also had an original artwork by Haring, a never-before-seen sketch of Madonna by Basquiat and collector's items such as coffee-table books and a typewriter containing rewrites of her 1987 film, 'Who's That Girl.' A private bar room was filled with glassware accentuated by mirrored walls and a glass chandelier. Lyas explored several hallways, all decorated with high-end art pieces, before making his way up the stairs to a beautiful glam room where Madonna sat in a chair while smoking a cigar. 'Oh, hi,' the influencer said, prompting the 'Vogue' singer to greet him nonchalantly while taking a puff. The all-white dressing room had several mirrors and a vanity as well as a table set up for makeup and hair products. Multiple sconces and a large drum chandelier lit the room with a soft glow. The video was seemingly filmed recently, as Madonna was dressed in the same white Tom Ford tuxedo she wore to the 2025 Met Gala.
