A MESSAGE FROM the JACK Team:

Picture

​Dear JACK Family,
​
We hope that you are safe and able to find moments of joy during this pandemic. Due to the restrictions related to COVID-19, our 
Spring-Summer and Fall 2020 seasons have been postponed. However, each of our programmed artists will have the opportunity to share their work at JACK, in the near future.

As an organization that centers the voices of Black artists and artists of color we are eager to amplify the work our artists have created. That being said, productions at JACK are experimental in nature and we will be holding off on presenting until we can gather in person once again.


​In the meantime, we have partnered with the mutual aid group We Keep Us Safe Abolitionist Network to transform our space into a hub for the distribution of food to our neighbors in need. Every week, 120 individuals and families in the area receive food assistance as part of this effort. ​If you know of anyone in the Clinton Hill-Fort Greene area that could use food help, please let us know by e-mailing us at info@jackny.org.

Read more about the effort here.

JACK hosted an online forum featuring the candidates for the two state legislative positions in JACK's district: Jabari Brisport (State Senate District 25) and Phara Souffrant Forrest (State Assembly District 57). Both won Democratic primaries in June and are running unopposed in the general election. The forum was a chance for our community to hear about their priorities, and was moderated by JACK Co-Directors Alec Duffy and Jordana De La Cruz.

How can we use Art and Media to uplift social movements working to create futures where All are equitably cared for and free to thrive? Do you want to participate in a workshop for artists who want to hone their political-art-making skills and deepen their political knowledge in service of those futures? Do you already make propaganda, agit-prop, political art and media? Do you want to share your knowledge, collaborate with other artists, and reach new audiences?
​
This three-session workshop seeks to create space to explore, answer, and unravel these questions.
