The selected artist for this project was Andrés Gallardo. Designed to engage 100 students creatively, intellectually, and socially, this program is rooted in Joseph F. Quinn Intermediate School 77’s vision of empowering young minds to achieve their full potential and become innovative thinkers. It offers participants an inclusive space to explore dramatic expression, collaboration, and confidence-building through performance.

Aligned with I.S. 77’s mission to cultivate a growth mindset and honor every student’s unique voice within a supportive learning community, students developed essential communication skills, empathy, perseverance, and mutual respect.
