● > 80% of the participants felt more deeply connected to Brooklyn and East Flatbush ● > 75% expressed that giving tours to unknown visitors (i. e. community residents, hospital staff, and others who dropped in) was their favorite demographic to show around the space and introduce to the artists and their works. @nolongerempty @micalejohn @duneskasuannette
OUR EDUCATION MATRIX @nolongerempty @micalejohn @duneskasuannette
● 55% felt that they had increased their ability to articulate their opinion about art by at least 1. 5 x ● 100% of the participants reported an improvement in understanding what artists do in developing their work, while 95% believed they now understood more holistically what a curator does “I would like to apply for another internship, I found a very large piece of myself in this program. ” @nolongerempty @micalejohn @duneskasuannette

Feedback (Midpoint: Dec 2018) ● “My favorite part has been going to the different art galleries, studios and seeing places I’ve never seen before. ” ● “My least favorite aspect of YAC was not being able to contact any of the people that we interacted with again. ” ● Things we want to learn more about ○ More tools/frameworks to actually have impact ○ Opportunities to interview people ● ½ of group didn’t see connection before arts and activism before and “now think art is superior to violence in fighting against oppression” @nolongerempty @micalejohn @duneskasuannette
