About The Emergency Arts Education Fund When a child loses access to the arts, it's an emergency. The Emergency Arts Education Fund was formed in response to continued DOE budget cuts (-$200M in FY23) and the decimation of art classes in local schools. Children’s Museum of the Arts believes the ongoing insecurity of arts education is a public health and creativity crisis deserving of immediate assistance. The Emergency Arts Education Fund is an intentional expansion of CMA’s In-School Residency Program. For over 15 years, CMA has brought local artists to lead high-quality arts education curricula at low-income schools with dire need. Entirely free. CMA provides all necessary art materials to each school and develops a catered curriculum representative of the vibrant neighborhoods and cultures in the communities where our schools reside. About the Ambassador Program Ambassadors take an active role in promoting the utterly ambitious work our Resident Artists are doing in New York City classrooms. They receive behind-the-scenes access to the work of our Resident Artists at our three partner sites — Children’s Workshop School in the East Village, Sid Miller Academy in Crown Heights, and Hudson Guild in Chelsea — as well as digital tools to share their advocacy all year long.

Sculptural Costumes Inspired by vanessa german Free Community Artmaking Saturday, October 22, 2022 11 AM to 12:30 PM Kasmin Gallery 509 West 27th Street, New York, NY, USA Media Inquiries: adam@culturalcounsel.com RSVP Children's Museum of the Arts families are invited to enjoy a free private gallery visit and art activity celebrating vanessa german's exhibition Sad Rapper at Kasmin Gallery . Children will work alongside CMA Artists in Residence to use fabric, cardboard, and other found materials to turn themselves into sculptures akin to german's fantastical freestanding figures. Sad Rapper is vanessa german's first solo exhibition at Kasmin Gallery, showcasing ambitious new freestanding and wall-based sculpture in an installation that confronts urgent social and political themes of racial oppression, structural violence, commemoration, and community. Conceived as a fantastical group portrait of figures from a single neighborhood, the exhibition draws on german’s youth in Los Angeles in the 1980s to expose the complex narratives that both represent and shape Black life and culture in the context of the American dream. This presentation is offered by german as a redemptive space in which visitors are invited to identify, experience, and begin to address the rage and grief engendered by both historic and ongoing racial violence in our society, to which the artist’s humanistic vision responds forcefully and compassionately. vanessa german is a self-taught citizen artist working across sculpture, performance, communal rituals, immersive installation, and photography, in order to repair and reshape disrupted systems, spaces, and connections. The artist’s practice proposes new models for social healing, utilizing creativity and tenderness as vital forces to reckon with the historical and ongoing catastrophes of structural racism, white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, resource extraction, and misogynoir. Programs at Children's Museum of the Arts are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

1/2/24 Interviews Meet the Young Set Designers of ¡Corre, Abuelita, Run! Get to know four young artists who created the set for the recent production at New York City Children's Theater. Click to expand media gallery. Last summer, Children's Museum of the Arts collaborated with New York City Children's Theater to host two free artmaking workshops at Pier 57 . Children had the incredible opportunity to meet with Sammy Lopez, the creator of ¡Corre, Abuelita, Run! , and design actual set pieces used in the play! They took a cue from the world famous NYC Marathon to design cardboard sets representing all five boroughs of New York City, from Lower East Side tenement buildings to favorite landmarks like the Bronx Zoo. Meet four of the young set designers below and hear their take on the experience. Eric, age 3 What was your favorite part about creating the set pieces? My favorite part about the building that I made was the parking lot on the top. What inspired the piece that you created? I noticed that each building had some numbers on it. Share a special memory with your grandparents or older family members. I don’t have any memories about my grandparents, because they live in another country. But I hope to visit them in the near future. Cecilia, age 6 What was your favorite part about creating the set pieces? Building a house. What inspired the piece that you created? Sparkles! Share a special memory with your grandparents or older family members. Everything is special with them. Sarah, age 7 What was your favorite part about creating the set pieces? Designing it. What inspired the piece that you created? I was inspired by the Plaza Hotel, especially the red shiny carpet. Share a special memory with your grandparents or older family members. One time we went on a small ferry to an island. We brought a picnic and explored the beautiful island and saw bugs, berries and birds. Julia, age 7 What was your favorite part about creating the set pieces? My favorite part was making the balcony. What inspired the piece that you created? I thought of a townhouse building and then I made it purple and shimmering green because those are my two favorite colors. Share a special memory with your grandparents or older family members. When I went horseback riding in Sweden, my grandfather was holding the reins when I trotted along the rail.
