Brooklyn Craft Central and sponsors are so pleased to support and take part in this post-trauma art project as
we and the rest of our city deals with the Hurricane and her aftermath:
Hurricane Sandy Art Relief Caravan Project
The Children's Movement for Creative Education in collaboration with Word Above the Street has begun an art relief program for children dealing with the traumatic aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The team of artists are implementing art healing projects in family shelters and community centers in the hardest hit areas following Hurricane Sandy.
Enabling our young New Yorkers to express their thoughts feelings and wisdom through these projects is not only a step in their healing process but provides them with a voice in this current crisis.
The Children's Movement ran much-needed and widely successful creative trauma relief programs for children and youth in NYC after 9/11, and also in post-war Bosnia. (See Creative Movement's website). The current art projects focus on the theme of resiliency with the goal of supporting the hopefulness and well being of the young participants.
Here's a collage of pics from our first 3 Saturdays! In Coney, Rockaway, and Gerritsen Beach:
