Spring Semester Update!
 
A Hip Hop Story- June 14th, 2013 (Family Night)
This semester, all four classes are working together on a performance! The show is about a young man who discovers his talent as he struggles to make the right choices growing up in a 1980's Bronx neighborhood. Marie France's class is creating original dances, and Jaronzie's students will be acting and telling us the story. The sound, music, and lights will be produced by Jose's class, and Amanda's students are creating one-of-a-kind set pieces!   

Mural Project Update
This is Where We Live, Work, and Create 
Section 2 of our Mural is almost complete!  Muralist Geobany Rodriguez worked with Community Art Center youth to depict the Area Four community members as an underwater ecosystem. Geo is a Cambridge based artist with years of experience as an artist and youth worker.

Section 3 of the Mural is just getting underway, with Guest Muralist Tova Speter,
