Activating Communities Through Socially Engaged Arts Practice"
Carolyn Sickles | Director of Engagement | Abrons Arts Center of Henry Street Settlement

Lillian Wald, the founder of Henry Street Settlement, believed strongly in the need for all individuals to have the opportunity for positive and creative expression. This conviction has continually secured the arts as a primary program area amongst health and social service offerings. Discover how socially engaged practice has shaped the past, present, and future of Abrons Arts Center. We are a place to take risks, embrace curiosity, and have meaningful exchange.
