🎓 CONGRATS AIP NY SENIORS 🎉

On May 16th, NYC AIP hosted its graduation ceremony commemorating the accomplishments of our graduating senior interns! 🎨

Surrounded by family, supportive adults, and mentors from partner organizations, the interns were honored for their hard work, dedication and creativity. 📝

With an activity for family and interns to express themselves on what art thought them and to create a small art piece to commemorate the day, followed by a ceremony of recognition.

ETA extends profound appreciation to all who contribute to the success of AIP, while wishing our seniors all the luck in their futures! Stay in touch! 🎈

Janicza Bravo — director, producer, and screenwriter at last year’s Family Dinner Benefit, reflecting on how arts education shaped her path forward.

Her words are a powerful reminder of the importance of vision and why the work we do at ETA matters.

Today, we partner with 62 public schools and growing with a mission to ensure the arts are accessible to every child!
