Project snapshot
Stencil1 will deliver a multi-session series of free stencil-art workshops in libraries, schools, parks, and community centers across New York City, providing hands-on instruction using proprietary reusable stencils designed and manufactured in Brooklyn. Targeting youth, seniors, and families in underserved neighborhoods, sessions enable creation of T-shirts, posters, and community murals. By partnering local organizations and block associations and focusing solely on community engagement, the project expands accessible creative outlets, fosters self-expression, and builds neighborhood pride and social cohesion.
