Hosted at different community centers, from the farmer’s market to the bike co-op, Diary Disks prompted community members to share their thoughts and experiences during the pandemic.

I WANT

Collective healing starts with our bodies. It starts with caring for ourselves and for each other. As New Haven reopened, we took deep breaths and completed a yoga workshop together.

phase 03 — the park

the Memorial Art Park

Memorial Art Park (M.A.P.) is our goal!

To not only transform a brownfield into a community green space, but to do so in a highly COVID-19 impacted neighborhood, is our goal!

 

Memorial Mapping is our progress!

Most importantly, we value doing this together.

Healing collectively. Building community around the arts. Designing and imagining what an arts-centered healing space can look like, both physically and as a collective of people, is the progress that brings M.A.P. and its robust arts programming to fruition!

Are you a New Haven resident? Interested in a part time position in our team? Excited to further our mission and values?

Send us your email; we'll be emailing you back with opportunities to get involved!
