The 52nd Street ProjectThe 52nd Street Project (The Project) is a non-profit arts education and mentoring organization serving youth (9-18 years old) living in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City. By partnering with professional theater artists who volunteer their time and talents, the project is able to offer year-round programming at no cost to participants. Young people start with Playmaking, which teaches them the basics of creating original pieces for theatre. At the end of the course, their new play will be open to the general public for free. After playmaking, all other project programming becomes available, including artistic extensions, theater performances, and academic mentoring programs. The project provides employment opportunities for teens and provides affordable scholarships to all project members who continue their education beyond high school. Because all programs and productions are free, the project relies on donations from individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies. The project was founded in 1981 by actor and playwright Willie Reale in response to a growing need to improve the quality of life for Hell's Kitchen children. He utilized his privilege as a company member of the Ensemble Studio Theater (EST) to specifically reach neighborhood children through theatrical activities. This was accomplished with the cooperation and support of EST and the Police Athletic League's Duncan Center across the street. In 1994, Mr. Reale received a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (informally known as a “genius grant”) for the creation of the 52nd Street Project.
For the first 15 years, the project relied on rented space to implement its programs. In 1996, the project established the Clubhouse, a center where children could come after school. This led to the creation of Smart Partners, an academic mentoring program, in 1997. In 1998, the project received its first Coming Up Taller Award (named after a quote from founder Willie Reale) from the NEA and the Arts Council. In 2010, the project opened its current facility, which for the first time in its history includes its own theater (Five Angels Theatre) for works by neighborhood children. * Reference: 52project.org/about/ Port Jeff Fall Art Walk 2023 October 16th thru November 1st, 2023 – 20+ participating businesses throughout the Village of Port Jefferson will display original art-work by local artists for public viewing in their front windows. The venue for this showing was a real estate window. One of the employees welcomed the artist warmly. He seemed like a very kind and art-loving person. The window in the corner right next to the entrance is a big event in the area, but I wonder who will be able to see this corner in detail. However, if there is someone watching, I am willing to spare no effort for that one person. This is the path to a world where there are more people who love art.
Pumpkin CarvingIn Jack-o-Lantern glyph activity, children use the legend to draw a Jack-o-Lantern. Below is relevant information I received from my child's school teacher. Below is a simple process for carving a pumpkin at home. First, choose a pumpkin that is in good shape for carving. Start by laying vinyl on the floor in advance. Design the shape to be carved. Cut a circle around the top of the pumpkin to create a hole like a lid. Wear plastic gloves, put your hand in, and cleanly remove the seeds inside. Dig along the pre-drawn line.
* Caution: Wear gloves to protect your hands |
