Art Space as Creative as Our Artists!

My Project

Our students at HS for Contemporary Arts work hard to bring their creative vision to life. As a matter of fact, this summer, work they created this year is being exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Morgan Library Museum and the Barclay Center!

To celebrate their hard work and support them in the space that they love and that nurtures their creativity, I would like to refresh and make their space more inviting, cozy and supportive of their art ambitions.

To this end, an award-winning teacher is helping re-design our space. We are mostly re-arranging and re-deploying studio furniture already acquired, but we need a few new things to really uplift the project: a beautiful area rug, nice lighting, and equipment to display more art in the room and replace outdated instructional posters.
