Pros
Collaborating with working artists and library communities to build strong programs that allow kids to thrive. Connecting with families whose children's lives have been positively impacted by participating in the program. Building community amongst resident artists in NYC as well as beyond. Cultivating and sharing opportunities for resident artists within the framework of the program and moving forward as alumni. Being witness to students progress as they grow throughout the school year, seeing their pride in the end of year exhibitions as they share their hard work with their friends, family and library!
Cons
Running a program on a national scale as a small team can be challenging from a logistical standpoint, looking forward to opportunities to hire more support staff as we grow.
