MORE ABOUT THE BASQUIAT PROJECT
In 2020, the Basquiat Project brought Brooklyn middle and high school teachers and 1,400 students together for the first time to study the life and work of Brooklyn artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988). Known for his street art and addressing contemporary social justice issues, Basquiat provides a rich model from which students created meaningful and socially relevant art. This opportunity was made possible through the Joe and Clara Tsai Foundation’s Social Justice Fund in partnership with the New York City Public Schools and The Fund for Public Schools.
