NYC's Historic Society of Illustrators Receives Second NEA Grant


NEW YORK, NY (May 17, 2011) - The Society of Illustrators is proud to announce that they have received a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth FY 2011 grant to support the Summer Illustration Art Academy at their Museum of American Illustration. This project is a collaborative effort with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation Afterschool Program and will provide intensive visual arts instruction to 100 at-risk youth ages 9-13 from the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan.

This is the second time the Society has applied for and received such a prestigious grant in its 110-year history as America's oldest nonprofit dedicated to the art and appreciation of illustration. They are one of 229 NEA Learning in the Arts awardees nationwide out of an applicant pool of 706.

The Summer Academy builds on the success of past Winter/Spring/Summer Academies offered with Parks & Recreation since 2001. This NEA grant will enable these partners to increase the number of students served and expand their outreach to youth from other vulnerable neighborhoods. The curriculum was developed in accordance with the NYS Learning Standards for the Visual Arts. Renowned Society illustrators will serve as teachers and mentors for these students and travel with them to various NYC cultural institutions that will be used as learning sites for the program.

For more information, contact Leslie at 212-838-2560 or leslie@societyillustrators.org.
