THE PROGRAM
Art belongs
in the school day.
92NY’s School Engagement in the Arts connects New York City public-school students with teaching artists, performances, and opportunities to make art themselves.
For schools without the budget for an arts teacher or a program of their own, those opportunities matter. This piece brings together the people making that access possible and the students it reaches.
MY CONTRIBUTION
A story built
over months.
Going where the story is
We visited a public school in the Bronx to capture the program in the classroom. That footage gave the piece a view of arts education as part of the school day.
Making room for different voices
I conducted interviews with teachers, students, and a principal. Each brought a different perspective on what the program means to a school and to the children in it.
