Active Art: Queens P.S. 13

  • Active Art: Queens P.S. 13, ArtBridge Exhibition

About the Mural

Jose Rodriguez‘s mural encourages students to directly interact with it, and otherwise get them to exercise more and be healthy.

During our student workshops, we were able to find out how they previously utilized the space on their playground with games they made up on the spot. By also using elements found in drawings by the students, Jose’s design was a true collaboration that reflects the ideas of the PS 13 student leaders.

Partners & Sponsors

A partnership between ArtBridge, PS 13 Clement C Moore, and NYC’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Active Art in schools.

As illustrated within OneNYC, children spend about half of their waking hours in school and these sites are uniquely positioned to support increases in physical activity levels for students.

In an effort to encourage active play in schools, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Healthy Living by Design Unit invited us to lead a participatory, youth-inspired process to design and install and Active Art installation at PS 13 in Queens.

On July 8, a new art exhibition, “Present Power / Future Hopes,” brought outdoor art indoors to showcase the work of 59 New York-based artists who created 25,000 square feet of art to help beautify and bring public art to 17 NYCHA developments across the city. The exhibition is produced by ArtBridge as a culmination of its Bridging the Divide program, a fellowship in which local artists design temporary public artworks that reflect the lives, histories, and aspirations of NYCHA residents. The artists created over 50 new, site-specific artwork that was affixed to construction fencing and sidewalk sheds at each location, as made possible through the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs’ City Canvas pilot initiative. As part of the fellowship, the artists held hundreds of art workshops and community events with NYCHA residents. (See past NYCHA Journal stories on Bridging the Divide here.)
