Art organization, No Longer Empty had a successful 2014. In the summer we held our 16th exhibition, If You Build It in a recently constructed building in Harlem that now provides affordable housing, education services and will be the The Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling.
As January comes to a close, we have big plans for 2015 as we continue our mission to transform & revitalize empty spaces with contemporary art exhibitions. For our 17th project we will be transforming the Old Bronx Borough Courthouse in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx. This New York Historical landmark will be open to the public for the first time since 1971 and will host a contemporary art exhibition accompanied by educational and cultural programs.As part of our programming, No Longer Empty is hosting a number of opportunities for youths and families. Currently, we are accepting applications for theY.Dot internship program.
Y.Dot is a 16 week program for teens 14-17 that combines personal and professional growth and development. Beginning in March, participants meet weekly for workshops ranging on various topics including: public speaking, writing, media literacy plus cultural and art excursions. The cumulation of the workshops is the creation and presentation of a tour in the NLE exhibition. For the remaining 8 weeks, students gain professional experience at the exhibition site while welcoming and engaging visitors with art. A stipend is rewarded upon program completion.
The application is available online at http://goo.gl/forms/NeBpsGsKRU and is accessible by clicking the link in the attached flyer. Attached, you'll also find a copy of the application itself. Deadline is February 6, 2015 at midnight. Please share with your youths and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.Best,Ayana
