    Who We Are 17

  • Over the past year, we have found ourselves reflecting on the word Yes! Yes! is possibility. Yes! is the power of locally-driven and creatively-fueled change. Yes! is community. These are the things The Laundromat Project pursues by engaging over 6,000 New Yorkers each year. We work to nourish creativity as a renewable community resource throughout NYC but especially in the neighborhoods of Bed-Stuy, Harlem, and Hunts Point/Longwood. Yes!

    In 2014, LP artists said Yes! to local collaborations that celebrate the city we want to live in. They ranged from producing a homegrown beauty magazine in Woodside, Queens to a community trading hub in the Bronx to neighborhood story circles across all five boroughs. Together with their neighbors and community partners, LP artists once again activated the vibrancy of three communities of color through Field Day-- an annual, three-borough festival that featured neighborhood walks, community garden tours, open studios, and a collaborative art-making project for the historic Peoples Climate March.

    To further deepen our work, we asked ourselves what is the Yes! for our art education programs? One answer was publishing our first Community & Neighborhood Mapping toolkit as well as the Power of Perception media action curriculum piloted with Brooklyn Community Arts & Media High School. We also launched Print Change, a new afterschool printmaking academy, empowering middle and high school students to create their own narratives in a post-Ferguson world. Our participants, artists, and neighbors sought affirmation that #BlackLivesMatter, and answered with a resounding Yes!

    Yes! is what exponentially grew our staff and board over the last three years. Yes! is how we successfully re-launched SOAPBOX, our signature benefit party last spring. Yes! is what we heard from 525 donors from 28 states and 5 countries who generously gave $28,000 in just 10 days to our People-Powered Challenge last fall.

    And Yes! is why we look forward to the launch of a major new program called the Kelly Street Initiative in 2015, leveraging local artists and residents to transform an empty apartment in Hunts Point/Longwood into a creative community hub. We say Yes! to an amazing and growing community of individuals and partners who believe in our vision of a world created through the collective imagination of empowered neighborhoods. It is possible. On behalf of The LP staff and board, thank you for believing in Yes!

    Onward,

    Dear Friends,

  • MISSION & VISIONWe amplify the creativity that already exists within communities by using arts and culture to build community networks, solve problems, and enhance our sense of ownership in the places where we live, work, and grow.

    We envision a world in which artists are understood as valuable assets in every community and everyday people know the power of their own creative capacity to transform their lives, their relationships, and their surroundings.

    We achieve our mission by bringing socially relevant and socially engaged arts programming to laundromats and other everyday community spaces in order to reach as many of our neighbors as possible. We are particularly committed to long-term and sustained investment in communities of color as well as those living on modest incomes.

    STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: DORYSAURADorysaura is a high school student and part of The Brotherhood/Sister Sols Liberation Program. She graduated from our Print Change printmaking academy in February of 2015. Heres what she had to say about her experience:

    Police brutality is a huge issue in the United States, and one of the ways we decided to fight against it is by screen printing. Not only is this a creative way to get people to listen about this topic, it is also a way to get people engaged in the fight against police brutality.

    The screen-printing process is new to me, but I was very eager to learn about it because its so interesting. Screen-printing is great to dothe process is fun, but once it is complete the message behind it cannot be ignored. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

  • 5In a sea of arts organizations, The LP has really shown their commitment to neighborhoods, to artists of color, and to building community dialogue and empowerment.

    Commissioned artist

    Overall, my experience in the Print Change class has opened my mind in a more creative way. It made me realize how huge art can be to a person and to a community.

    Print Change student

    The Create Change Residency has rekindled the fire in my belly in regards to being an artist committed to community engagement and social change.

    Create Change Artist-in-Residence

    I had great time painting, writing about my thoughts and dreams, learning about farming and eating healthy foods.

    Community Arts Education program participant

    We love working with The Laundromat Project. The programs weve done in partnership together have brought to our students really, really relevant programming that they feel is connected to their lives and values them as young men and women.

    I met amazing people and showed them my amazing community!

    Volunteer

  • In 2014, we supported five public artist projects through our flagship artist development program, Create Change, engaging New Yorkers across all five boroughs. The residency, now entering its tenth year, supports artists of color in our anchor neighborhoods developing community-responsive public art projects at local laundromats.

    Our commissions program offers longer-term support to alumni fellows producing outstanding socially-engaged work within the five boroughs.

    ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE

    CHLOE BASS, BEDFORD-STUYVESANT: THE DEPARTMENT OF LOCAL AFFAIRSChloe created a social hub for Bed-Stuy residents and workers to create maps, pamphlets, reviews, and advice about neighborhood life, culminating in a reverse tourism guide based on neighbors everyday experiences and memories of Bed-Stuy.

    DENNIS REDMOON DARKEEM, HUNTS POINT / LONGWOOD: GOOD TRADEDennis re-created the Native American custom of trade in a laundromat setting, inviting participants to rethink notions of value. He documented the exchange of stories and items through photo and video, and shared his residency process via a concurrent exhibition at Casita Maria.

    beluvid ola-jendai, HARLEM: HARLEM ON MY MIND, TOObeluvid set up a mobile recording booth where he collected community membersstories about Harlem, generating a compilation CD shared with the public at a listening party at Countee Cullen Library.

    COMMISSIONED ARTISTS

  • PUBLIC ART POTLUCK

    We held our largest ever annual public art potluck, a dinner party to celebrate our 2014 Create Change artists, with over 120 guests attending, hosted by our friends the Sadie Nash Leadership Project.

    ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: SONIA LOUISE DAVIS Sonia is a Harlem-based artist and photographer. She was a Create Change Fellow in 2011 and has since worked with The LP as a teaching artist, at The Laundry Room on 116th Street and at The Studio Museum in Harlem.

    I found out about the Create Change Fellowship at a crucial timeId been making images outside in my neighborhood and wanted to engage neighbors in a meaningful way as collaborators, not simply as passers-by or witnesses to my practice. The program informed how I imagined my work, and gave me confidence to take risks and challenge myself.

    Art that connects people, that happens where we live and work, involves regular folks as participants / actors / subjects / authors, as central pieces in the artistic puzzle.

    I think the why is more important than the how. Know yourself. Surround your work and practice with others who fuel you, who have different specialties, and lend support whenever you can, especially to other artists. These are things I am constantly telling myself. Its all part of the process.

  • COMMUNITY ARTS WORKSHOPSIn 2014, we offered over 50 free drop-in art workshops at partner laundromats in Bed-Stuy, Harlem, and Hunts Point and other community spaces, inviting participants to respond to locally relevant topics, such as police-community relations, the neighborhood cultural and historical preservation, and environmental activism.

    Our programming meets New Yorkers where they are: in laundromats, libraries, parks, schools, and other everyday spaces. In 2014, our community arts education programs engaged 4,585 New Yorkers.

    GREENING THE CITY FESTIVALGreening the City is an annual festival focused on environmental awareness, urban beautification, and wellness, presented in collaboration with the Hunts Point Fish Parade and Summer Festival at Barretto Point Park in Hunts Point, The Bronx. Activities included Zumba classes, environmentally themed art workshops, a cooking demo, and a workshop on the nuts and bolts of launching community gardens.

    Our partners included The BLK Projek, Grow Green Ambassadors, Harlem Grown, Harlem Wellness Center, Kelly Street Garden, and The Point CDC.

  • SUSTAINING NEIGHBORHOODSIn partnership with La Casa Azul Bookstore, we presented a symposium and workshop on the impact of rapid neighborhood change on artists in New York City, addressing how artists and arts organizations can be stabilizing forces in their own neighborhoods. This two-part event featured a panel discussion, and a hands-on workshop offering tangible resources for artists seeking housing sustainability.

    PRINT CHANGEIn April 2014, we piloted Print Change, an intensive after-school course for youth to illustrate their perspectives on pressing issues in their neighborhood by studying the history and practice of printmaking. We offered the course in partnership with The Brotherhood/Sister Sols Liberation Program and the Brooklyn Community Arts & Media High School.

  • FIELD DAY FESTIVAL

    Our annual Field Day festival highlights the full range of our programs, celebrating neighborhood arts and culture in our anchor neighborhoods: Bedford-Stuyvesant, Harlem, and Hunts Point.

    In each neighborhood, we offered community art workshops at our partner laundromats, studio visits with our artists-in-residence, and creative walks highlighting neighborhood culture and history, and public art programs organized by our Create Change Fellows.

  • 2014 was a year of ambitious growth. We re-launched our SOAPBOX benefit, carried out the People Powered Challenge, our annual grassroots fundraising campaign, and dramatically expanded our donor base. We also appointed three new board members and grew our Catalyst Circle.

    SOAPBOXOur SOAPBOX benefit in May, honoring artists and LP alumni Rachel Falcone and Michael Premo, was an elegant party , expanding our circle of supporters, while raising over $42,000 toward our programs. Our Honorary Co-Chairs were Julie Mehretu, Wangechi Mutu, and Jessica Rankin. Our Co-Chairs were Dr. Erika Faust and Anne Huntington. Featured artist Derrick Adams contributed a special print edition for the occasion.

    PEOPLE POWERED CHALLENGEOur 2014 People Powered Challenge, a ten-day grassroots fundraising campaign, was a massive success! With 51 People Movers (half of them Create Change alumni artists) leading the charge, we raised $27,776 from a total of 525 donorsrepresenting five countries and 26 U.S. states, plus D.C.and including generous matching gifts from the Theo Westenberger Estate, WestFuller Advisors, and an anonymous donor.

    14

  • We were honored to receive so much public recognition of our work in 2014: we won an Arts Entrepreneurship Award from Fractured Atlas; our program director, Petrushka Bazin Larsen, was a madrina at El Museo del Barrios Three Kings Day Parade; and our alumni won numerous prestigious awards, including an NEA Fellowship in Poetry (LaTasha N. Diggs, 2010); a Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist Fellowship (Kameelah Rasheed, 2013); and Rauschenberg Foundations Artist as Activist travel grants (to Shani Peters, 2013 and Tattfoo Tan, 2010).

    DONOR SPOTLIGHT: DAWN MCGEEDawn McGee is an independent business consultant and long-time supporter of The LP. Originally a founding board member, she is now a part of our Catalyst Circle, a group of leaders who make a long-term investment in our mission by contributing their expertise, ideas, and financial support.

    When I joined the board...I understood that the first step to creating change in ones life is having the capacity to envision a different future for oneself. But this was an intellectual understanding until I began to see The LPs programming in action.

    I think the thing I love most about my continued close relationship with The LP is how it continues to develop my understanding of art as a tool for individual and social change.

    Before The LP, artmaking was something I thought should be reserved for a select group of Artists (note that capital A). My relationship with The LP and Ris taught me that we are all artists. These relationships have also taught me that artmaking nourishes us and can lead to broader perspectives and more richly experienced lives. Ive also broadened my definition of art. I now see the potential to turn anything into part of an artmaking practice.
