Community Partner Art Show: The Video

Posted by Calder Zwicky, Assistant Director, Teen and Community Partnerships

Last summer, the Community Partner Art Show opening celebrated the participants and the amazing organizations that we work with through our Community Partnership Program. It was a fantastic exhibition, and it was so powerful hearing the participating artists discuss the ideas, inspirations, and, yes, hesitations surrounding their involvement with the Museum and the creation of their artworks.

In the Artist’s Space: Helen Mirren on Vasily Kandinsky

YWCA Community Mural Project: The Video

Posted by Calder Zwicky, Assistant Director, Teen and Community Partnerships

This short video piece was created around the mural project I’ve been doing with YWCA’s Fresh Start program at Murry Bergtraum High School in lower Manhattan. (You can read more about the project in a previous blog post.) The program targets freshman students who are in academic trouble and finds new and interesting ways to get them involved in their school and excited about their educational career.
