Spring into Summer with Groundswell at our 30th Anniversary Celebration at midtown's beautiful Penthouse 45! 

This year, our annual spring benefit celebrates 30 years of Groundswell artmaking. Our summer and afterschool programs bring together artists, young people, and community members to create murals that celebrate the strength, resilience, and diversity of our communities. These programs offer New York City youth opportunities to pursue their interest in visual arts and develop their artistic talent while learning about social justice issues and discovering their agency to effect change.

Proceeds from the evening will allow us to continue providing vital youth development and arts education resources to young people across New York City, kicking off our fourth decade of artmaking and community change.
