Students from Juan Morel Campose Secondary School in Brooklyn worked with FMT through NUTUREart’s Educational Outreach Program. After a lecture and subsequent visit to the FMT studio, we collaborated together on a piece of video art.

The students chose the theme of the destructive nautre of gossip as theme, provided the photographic imagery, choreography, physical and audio performance. The project was directed and produced by FMT. The final result will be on display at NUTREart’s gallery space in May 2009 as a part of the SOCIAL (VIRUS) exhibition.

NURTUREart Non-Profit, Inc. is a charitable organization dedicated to helping promising career-track visual artists creating fine art in all styles and media to support themselves exclusively from the sale of their artwork. The Education Outreach Program was created by Eliot Lable, an artist, educator, and NURTUREart Trustee, and Sarah Hervert, an Assistant Principal and former art teacher, and a member of the Education Outreach Committee and NURTUREart Advisory Board. This after-school program brings together two very important groups within the Williamsburg community: students and artists.
