The Time In Children's Arts Initiative

With Edutopia – I just made it onto their weekly engagement list by being one of their top engagers 🎉. And possibly one of their most interesting engagers! Take a look at our little doc and I think you'll agree. https://www.timeinkids.org/the-art-of-change

This is one of the most exciting projects that TimeIn did over the course of our 17 years working with kids from Harlem, the South Bronx, Queenbridge and East Flatbush. With the help of the incredible Guy Richards Smit we turned the opera Cosi Fan Tutte into a TV sitcom. Imagine the joy of all those little kids at PS63 Authors Academy, Harlem's PS30 and PS197 discovering I LOVE LUCY for the first time! And think about this: at PS63 in the Bronx, the majority of the kids had been in Time In since they were in Emma Markarian's class as 4 year olds! (They were always reminding me that they had been in TimeIn for as long as they had been in school.) (And PS . . . wasn't that the idea?)

Anyway, I am asking that those who can make a donation of any size so that we can properly archive all the materials and make them available to others. https://www.timeinkids.org/donate

One of my favorite images of The Time In Children's Arts Initiative at 's show, at the time I think it was at Paula Cooper Gallery. The kids were over the moon about this.

One of my kids is in a homeless shelter right now about 10 days away from having a baby. If the spirit moves you to help us help her, please donate at https://www.timeinkids.org/donate. I want to make sure her baby has warm clothes and blankets and diapers, etc. Especially warm clothes and blankets.

My grandmother had a baby before my dad. Apparently she was absolutely beautiful. But they were very poor and living in terrible conditions. She died of pneumonia as an infant.

Your help would be so appreciated. We'll send baby pix to anyone who donates. He's due on May 1. So the time to start building up the supplies she needs is right now. ###

Just because kids are growing up, doesn’t mean the work ends.

The fact that we were in kids’ lives and their families’ lives for years. . . And that they - and their families - were in OUR families’ lives is something very special and very rare.

Time In has always been a family. But what that means is that - just like your family and in mine - we have to keep transforming and meet the situations at hand as they arise.

Right now we have some very serious family stuff on our plate and we need your help: We need to support kids we’ve known for years who may be in danger, to continue to encourage kids in their passions and help them find the connections, training and support they need to use the skills we taught them when they were little; to preserve the legacy and teaching materials of Time In because some day the book banning era will end and we will go back to understanding that it’s not DEI as an acronym that is important, but the Equity in Education and the Opportunity that kids living in seriously disadvantaged are routinely deprived of that is so immensely vital to our success as a society and as a country.

Realizing that there are only 3 days left before 2025 ends, I hope I can ask you to help us sustain Time In’s incredible work in 2026. We have some unanticipated challenges and with your help we will meet them! I look forward to sharing how your contribution is going to change lives!

You can donate to us directly at https://www.timeinkids.org/donate.

So many thanks for thinking of our kids and for staying, year after year, on their team.

My past life! About to receive an award for my work with The Time In Children's Arts Initiative which is great, but now is the time to really publicize the work. In the face of massive discrimination and suppression, it is so vital for America to understand that its strength lies precisely in the communities it is destroying. We need to go in the opposite direction. This is not about DEI, it is about INTELLIGENCE. Understand the resources at hand. Right here, in our poorest communities, are our most valuable resources. Develop them! Care for them.

Watch the documentary piece that and I worked on last year. https://www.timeinkids.org/the-art-of-change Be aware. Speak loudly.
