Creating a place to draw on the streets of NYC with Blick Art Materials

by | Jul 28, 2018

Over the next several months, the Uni Project will work with Blick Art Materials to bring our open-air art studio (DRAW NYC) to community street festivals known as Weekend Walks. Today we were hosted by Hamilton Heights-West Harlem Community Preservation Organization and joined by staff from Blick’s local store on 125th St in Harlem. Thanks to Uni Project Artist-in-Residence Courtney Menard for sharing her methods of print-making. Thanks also to Uni Project supporters Lisa Brown and Daniel Handler. With additional support from West Harlem Development Corporation. Look for more events coming to our calendar soon.

We're getting a "new" name... Street Lab.

The Uni Project is the work of Street Lab, a nonprofit launched in 2006 in Boston, where we created community-oriented programs for public space. In 2011, we migrated Street Lab to New York City and launched the Uni Project. The Uni began as a single, portable reading room and has since grown into a city-wide initiative offering more than 600 days of pop-up programming in 150+ public spaces across the city. In 2019, we are re-introducing our original name Street Lab to tie all this work together going forward, with much more to come.
 
For now, details about our programs are available here on the Uni Project web site. Soon, that content will move to www.streetlab.org. Thanks for sticking with us!
