As an Assistant Editor and freelance writer, I wrote and edited essays and image captions for this major 2009 Abrams publication about the community murals and graffiti/street art of San Francisco’s Mission District.
I served as the first Program Manager from August 2008-June 2010, for this small, innovative nonprofit organization that provides young people of all abilities with the opportunity to engage in the artistic process as a catalyst for learning. ATG optimally matches teaching artists with the specific needs of each school or community based organization who serves children with limited access to the arts.
As Program Manager, in addition to recruiting hiring, and supervising teaching artists in 3-5 simultaneous arts education partnerships, I help write original grant proposals, newsletters, and other communications materials.

Project Manager, 2007-Present
A web resource on the "Mnemonics" installation at Stuyvesant High School, by renowned public art team Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel, launched in 1992 and commissioned by the Battery Park City Authority in conjunction with The Percent for Art Program of the City of New York, Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York City Department of Education. As the artists' assistant and project manager, I engaged all segments of the school community--students, faculty, alumni-- in developing this website, as well as reviving community participation in this ongoing collaborative project. This includes supervising student interns in researching and photographing the different components for the site, overseeing a documentary video project, and convening a student "Cube committee" and helping draft student government policies to organize student participation in the project now and in the future.

Parents as Arts Partners "Family Totems" mural project at the Urban Assembly School of Music and Art
Project Organizer and Assistant Muralist/UAMA Director of Partnerships and Development, 2007-2008
Description and slide shows of images from a mural project I organized, managed, and for which I acted as an assistant artist at the Urban Assembly School of Music and Art (UAMA), where I spearheaded community partnerships as well as fundraising and promotion efforts. This project brought together UAMA parents, students, and lead artist Nicole Schulman from Groundswell Community Mural Project in three Saturday workshops in March 2008, culminating in an 8' X 8' interior stencil mural. I was also responsible for writing, compiling, and editing all copy for this UAMA website, which was launched in December 2007.

Published in the 2006 issue of PART, the CUNY Graduate Center's online art history journal.
A scholarly article I wrote on the aesthetic and social components of new genre public artist Suzanne Lacy's "The Roof is On Fire," a collaborative public art/performance piece with teenagers in Oakland, CA, in 1994. "Roof" aimed to give underrepresented and misrepresented youth a voice in mass media through a highly-publicized, large-scale event where the public could listen in on teens having conversations in cars on a rooftop garage.
