Photo dump from our last two Student Art Program exhibitions! We are still amazed by all the TALENTED artists and their artworks. 🖼️😍🤩

✨PRICELESS: The serendipity of planning a team retreat at The New York Public Library main branch and learning the morning of that at least $40+ million in funding has been restored to the library system. ✨

We often say, "The arts are essential” but so too are the community partners like the NYPL that help make access to the arts, knowledge of the arts, and arts programming possible.

Thank you NYPL and the library system for all you provide to NYC!🦁💛📚

¡Felicidades! We couldn't let the school year end without a huge thank you to our Spring Interns Debixs and Jayrenk from Crotona International High School. Best of luck in your future endeavors! 😎✨
