We are not just [the] arts; we are childcare, health care, mental health, [and] food.
— Austin Greene, Director of the DreamYard Art Center
In collaboration with the World Central Kitchen and Assembly Member Michael Blake, we are distributing free meals for community members on Mondays through Fridays, between 1:30pm – 3:00pm, at the DreamYard Art Center! Swing by to grab your free meal.

With the mandate for online learning, our youth need adequate internet access as well as technology in order to participate in education. That’s why we’ve partnered with Google Creative Lab and HERE to HERE to distribute thousands of Chromebooks to schools in the Bronx.
