Thank you NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson, Majority Leader Laurie Cumbo, and Council Members Donovan Richards, Adrienne Adams, and Jimmy Van Bramer for trusting us to celebrate the Art a Catalyst for Change anti-gun violence initiative with the great students of IS 42, PS/MS 183, IS 8, IS 72, IS 111, and IS 204. On May 30th, we produced and hosted the second annual Queens HeART Beat Festival in Roy Wilkins Park, an interactive, arts-based field day experience. Special thanks to our collaborating partners and staff from the Black Spectrum Theatre, Museum of the Moving Image, and Everybody Dance Now; fifteen arts educators; DJ Tony Tone; Paradigm and Emissary from Speak Lyfe Entertainment; graphic design by EMJ Squared; volunteers from five Jamaica congregations; and producer extraordinaire Randy Mason.
