Red Hook Art Project

Red Hook Art Project (RHAP) is a non­prof­it orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cat­ed to empow­er­ing young artists to become social and civic lead­ers through art. Their mis­sion is to har­ness the trans­for­ma­tive pow­er of art to advo­cate for alter­na­tive per­spec­tives and chal­lenge assump­tions, beliefs, and com­mu­ni­ty val­ues. RHAP has a rich his­to­ry of engag­ing with the com­mu­ni­ty through var­i­ous art ini­tia­tives that pro­mote cre­ativ­i­ty, self-expres­sion, and civic aware­ness. In the past, they have con­duct­ed com­mu­ni­ty mur­al projects, art work­shops, and pub­lic exhi­bi­tions that have pos­i­tive­ly impact­ed the neigh­bor­hoods they serve. On Gov­er­nors Island, they will present their pro­gram­ming in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Red Hook Initiative.
