El Museo Del Barrio

El Museo del Barrio and Union Settlement Association, East Harlem's largest social service network, are partnering to bring after-school programming to the residents of East Harlem, one of New York city's most ethnically diverse and poorest communities. The partners will develop and implement a Community Connections After-School Program consisting of five eight-week arts education and art-making courses over two years. This will enrich the Union Settlement's after-school programs by incorporating the rich Latino culture and the collection of El Museo del Barrio. *Awarded under Museum Leadership Initiatives program - now part of National Leadership Grants for Museums
