We wish to highlight the work of the New York City Department of Education arts educators. By exhibiting our student’s works, we hope to add to the conversation on education policy, and shout out that: ART EDUCATION IS A NECESSARY RIGHT FOR ALL STUDENTS!
Our exhibition features large prints–collaborations between our Fashion Design and Photography students, which include statements about the creative process.
