"I am so excited to be on the board of an organization that has heart, head, and vision! Doing the kind of work that brings together art, social, justice, everyday people, and business acumen can be incredibly challenging, but also rewarding beyond words. I look forward to the process of creating and implementing a new model of doing "good work."

Olukemi Ilesanmi,
Board Member

"I want to see art in the laundromat in my neighborhood in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. I live in a place where Pakistani, Muslims, and West Indians, and Mexicans - all people of color - converge and wash clothes in the same space. The TV is always on. In fact, three TVs are on, running different channels. I think there is more to life than 'Dancing with the Stars.'"
