Brooklyn Arts x Polaroid x Hugo McCloud

As the Director of Arts & Culture for Brooklyn, I developed innovative programs that connected world-class artists and brands with underserved communities, expanding access to the arts and creative education. One of my most impactful initiatives was a collaboration with Polaroid and acclaimed artist Hugo McCloud, bringing immersive art experiences directly into inner-city schools. This program provided students with hands-on opportunities to explore photography, materiality, and storytelling, inspiring them to see art as a powerful tool for expression and possibility. By bridging the gap between brands, artists, and young creatives, I worked to cultivate imagination, ignite new creative pathways, and ensure that the next generation had access to the transformative power of art.
