NeON SUMMER

2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020

NeON Arts - Summer Workshops — NeON Arts engaged young people in free art programs throughout New York City, building skills and expanding opportunities for creative expression. Opportunities included DJing, coding, beat-making, theatre, mural arts, podcasting, and more!

NeON Photography - Summer Session — Summer photography participants met weekly for introductory photography classes. Training was designed to introduce these emerging photographers to the elements and history of photography, as well as a range of technical skills, and the art of visual storytelling. Those who completed the 6 week session were able to become certified NeON photographers and have their work exhibited in a gallery show.
In addition to the summer session, NeON Photography also celebrated a gallery opening in July at the YEMA Gallery. The show featured 70 photographs by the most recent cohort of NeON Photography graduates. The event also included a photo booth provided by one of the NeON Photography graduates. View photos from the event here.

NeON Sports℠ — NeON Sports serves as a pivotal tool when it comes to reducing violence in New York City communities. During the summer, NeON Sports offered a range of activities across NYC, including football, basketball, fishing, and boxing. In these groups, recreation and teambuilding exercises were used to engage clients as well as community members and create safe and welcoming spaces for mediation and conflict resolution.
