COMMUNITY FACILITATOR

Mobile Literacy Arts Bus (MLAB)

MLAB began with the purchase of a 1984 American Eagle RV. With a total of $30k from two grants, Marion Wilson’s class of nine students gutted, renovated and then programmed this used RV into a mobile digital lab, poetry library and community gallery to offer arts education to city schools. For one full year as the MLAB coordinator I traveled to 17 city schools and taught after-school workshops dealing with creative writing and recording of music. Sponsored by School of Ed, VPA and Say Yes to Education grants. At the culmination of Summer drove the MLAB through the Holland Tunnel and parked it on Orchard street for a week and housed art exhibits and guest artists (September 2010)
