Donate to our Artist Civic Leadership Program.

The House of Mark West Artist Collective would like to thank Citizens Committee for NYC for donating $3,000.00 to help us launch our first Artist Civic Leadership Program for inner-city scholars.

The House of Mark West Collective will develop the artistic skillset young artists of color through mentorship and training to create artwork inspired by life in NYCHA. We will encourage them to reflect on ideas on justice, racism, and inequality and showcase that work in NYC at a public community event. The students must be under 18, have a demonstrated artistic interest, and be a resident of NYCHA.

We are still short of our goal and currently raising funds so that we can include as many students as possible and offer each of them a generous materials stipend and pay our volunteers.

We aim to open the application portal for new students this Fall 2022.

Please consider donating to this new project.

Donations of more than $100 will receive a thank you gift.
