Dear Friend,
As we close off 2022, we at Arts For All want to share with you, our GlobalGiving community, our final updates for the year on of what has been going on programatically! We've had a lot of exciting things happen, and so as you read through this
1) With our Artistic Residency Program combined looking at the Spring and what we've completed for the Fall we've provided over 350 in-person workshops and 80 virtual workshops in visual arts, narrative storytelling, poetry, multimedia projects, movement, drama, sculpture, and music, while serving 850 children in-person and 3,700 virtually between all of our ARP partners. This includes Corlears School, PS69, PS163, Renaissance Charter School in Jackson Heights, Weeksville Elementary, PS310, and Williamsnburg High School of Arts and Tech. These numbers served will go up as we wrap up the remainder of the year and get closer to Christmas/New Years.
2) With our Literacy Through The Arts program we've been able to provide 650 in-person LTA workshops and 30 virtual workshops in interactive storytelling, literature, dance, exploring different cultures, drama, and theater, serving approximately 600 children in-person and 550 virtually between all of our LTA partners. This includes both Renaissance Charter Schools in Jackson Heights and Maspeth, PS15, and PS163. These numbers served will go up as we wrap up the remainder of the year and get closer to Christmas/New Years.
3) We recently received new funding support from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation and have received our first federal source of funding from The National Endowment for the Arts! We're extremely excited about this enwx and being able to use these funds to expand on all of our programming, and so we want to take the time to thank our Development Associate Felix Reyes for securing these new sources of funding and making this possible!
4) Our virtual learning ARP videos over the course of the year have garnered a wide range of viewership, gathering anywhere from 100 to over 1,000 views, one of which has even garnered over 19,000 views from one of our Teaching Artist’s Darian Dauchan. As a result we’ve accumulated over the course of this year more than 35,000 views in total from all of our virtual learning content to this date.
As always, thank YOU for always supporting our organization, what we do, and we hope you enjoyed reading this brief project report and will consider giving a contribution this holiday season to Arts For All!
Sincerely,
Felix Miguel Reyes
Development Associate
