ARTiculate

A two-week session, engaging ten youth ages ten to fourteen will be implemented by a local artist-in-residence and supported by our staff. YMCA Anthony Bowen artists-in-residence are engaged to lead virtual art classes they will share their expert artistic technique, and culturally and community relevant artistic perspectives. ARTiculate will hold virtual classes four days a week for two weeks. Each session is comprised of four components: Education, Reflection, Project Visioning and Project Creation. These components form a model of practice that will improve artistic technique, expression, and literacy; and contribute to fostering socially conscious critical thinkers in the long-term.

A Discussion on Public Safety with Moms Demand Action and Brianne Nadaeu

Join Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau, and Moms Demand Action for a moderated panel discussion on public safety. 

Creating a safer place for all of our residents requires coordinated efforts between the Council, the Mayor, and all of our agencies with a presence in the community as well as advocacy groups working to make the city safe.

Our government has augmented traditional approaches to addressing public safety with an evidence-based public health approach.
