Using the case study of a three-month long visual arts and literature program conducted in the South Bronx, NY, these broader questions of the level of accessibility of public school education and specific non-profit programming can be examined in relation to a specific pilot project. Ultimately, the implications of the results of this pilot project will inform how future educational programs can negotiate these crucial points of access when structuring further efforts. %G eng %[ 2022-10-07 %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
