Program areas at City Lore

In 2022, City Lore continued to further its mission to foster new york City and america's living cultural heritage through education and public programs. Our in-school programs were in full gear. Together we reached over 8,000 public school students with long term arts residencies, which included: from homer to hip hop which introduced school students to spoken word poetry, and artist/master teacher program offering professional development for teachers. Urban explorers allowed a group of 25 underserved students to research and tell stories of the City's different communities. The City Lore gallery featured two exhibitions, art / work: how the government funded ceta program put americans to work and rise up: the art of activism on the lower east side.
