This year each group of students took a special look at their local communities. Together with youth, teaching artists, teachers, librarians and community members we asked: What makes a neighborhood strong? What do you see in your neighborhood? And, who do you see? Through a range of creative forms including, but not limited to: murals, pop-up art and photography, youth stepped out of their classrooms and into the adventure of art in, for and about community.

These students are all part of Out-of-School Time Programs including: CASA at PS 14, PS 135, PS 99, IS 125, Bell Academy, Matisse After-school programs at MS 217 and at the Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center and Queens Teens our in house high school program

Este año, diferentes grupos de estudiantes prestaron especial atención a sus comunidades y junto con sus maestros, bibliotecarios y miembros de la comunidad se preguntaron: ¿Qué hace que un barrio sea poderoso? ¿Qué ves en tu vecindario? Y, ¿a quién ves? Y, a través de una variedad de formas de expresión creativas que incluyeron, pero que no se limitaron a murales sino también que contemplaron Pop-Art y fotografía los jóvenes abandonaron sus aulas y se sumergieron en la aventura del arte en comunidad.

Expondremos trabajos de nuestros estudiantes que forman parte de los Programas después de la escuela que incluyen: CASA en PS 14, PS 135, PS 99, IS 125 y Bell Academy, Matisse After-school programs en: MS 217 and Community Art Hack, la Biblioteca de la Comunidad Langston Hughes y Centro Cultural, Taller de dominical para familias y en el programa de la escuela secundaria.
