Published: 10/31/2003A Celebration Announcing the Maxine Greene Foundation
Greene, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Education at Teachers College, said that her vision in launching this Foundation is to generate inquiry, imagination, and the creation of art works by diverse people. It was to do so with a sense of the deficiencies in our world and a desire to repair, wherever possible. Justice, equality, freedom: these are as important as the arts, and they can infuse each other, perhaps making some differences at a troubled time. The Maxine Greene Foundation is concerned with supporting the creation of and informed appreciation of works that embody fresh social visions that move people to perceive alternative possibilities for the making of humane communities. The foundation directs its primary attention to the intersections among various modes of social action and engagements with the arts. Social imagination most often finds expression in diverse art forms: film, literature, theatre and dance.

On October 10, “Org” opened in the Macy Gallery. “Org” is the result of exhaustive research done by a collaboration of artists.
