You could sum up our summer Public Art Youth Employment programs in a single word: Belonging. Over six weeks in July and August, Youth Apprentices created three murals that invite people into shared spaces and their local communities.
A vibrant new mural at the entrance to PS/MS 4 Crotona Park West, a Title 1 school in The , tells students that they are entering a safe and nurturing environment. A new mural for the lobby of Bronx County Family Court welcomes visitors with an inclusive message of hope and justice at what is often, by necessity, a painful moment of their lives. And at Square, a newly redeveloped NYC park, a massive CAW mural spanning two blocks celebrates the energy and vitality of the Hamilton Heights community.

FINDING AN OUTLET FOR HER CREATIVITY AND HER BIG IMAGINATION:
Last year, Tiffany Depeña was a Youth Apprentice in the first Creative Art Works Character Design program with FunPlus. We are revisiting Tiffany's 2021 interview because we are excited to announce we are once again offering this program at five New York City Department of Education Career and Technical Education (CTE) High Schools. schools focus on ensuring students with disabilities, Multilingual Learners/English Language Learners, and students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds are offered equitable access to high-quality internships.
We will be posting interviews with Youth Apprentices from our current Character Design Program soon. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this profile from 2021.
"I am interested in many aspects in the cartoon industry including Character Design. I am always creating new characters and fantasies for them. I wanted to learn more, and I thought this internship was a great opportunity for me. I also wanted to get feedback from different people who are at different levels with their art."

Betty was a dynamic force of nature. The community's outpouring of love has been so touching. Thank you Congressman Adriano Espaillat, Senator Robert Jackson, Assemblyman Al Taylor, Nyc Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez District Office, NYS Assemblywoman Carmen De La Rosa, ManhattanTimes and so many others for the beautiful, meaningful tributes.
https://tinyurl.com/2p8bsax5 From the latest Creative Art Works blog: "...we are making passports as part of an integrated lesson plan on geography. ...my students had so many questions about what a passport represents, and about immigration and naturalization. We got into a deep discussion about how a passport is a declaration that you belong to a place, and that was something very interesting and engaging for sixth and seventh graders, because they are at an age where they are trying to figure out where they belong in the world."
