Beam Center

Beam Center We build communities of making and learning that prepare young people for the way the world works.

Beam Center is a community of learning and discovery for young people aged 6-18. Guided by artists in technology, imagination and craft, young people develop much more than skills; they build their character, courage to think for themselves, and capacity for collaboration and invention. Beam Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves young people of all abilities and economic backgrounds.

This summer, Beam Summer Studios on Govneors Island embraced Change & Transformation for this year’s

Youth transformed materials, ideas and stories into exhibitions, showcases, films and performances for NYC youth, families and passerbys to enjoy

Beam Center youth learned new skills, collaborated, and met people from all over the city as they turned their ideas into something otherworldy

A huge THANK YOU to every young person who committed to this summer, and to the artists, educators, and partners, and Beam community who helped make OtherWorlds Fair possible.

Until next summer, keep making other worlds something worth experiencing.
