Middlesex County awarded the school’s Pop-Up Arts Across Middlesex County initiative $19,000 to widen the scope and impact of the program, which seeks to promote and sustain community engagement among MGSA students. The next phase of Pop-Up Arts kicks off this semester with two projects involving undergrads: Cristina Marte’s “Teaching as an Artist” dance course, in partnership with Sisterwork, a New Brunswick-based organization that works to promote economic mobility among Latinas; and Julia Baumanis’s “Instrumental Methods” music course, in partnership with New Brunswick High School. Alum and Theater faculty John Keller serves as artistic director of the program. The school, which earned a grant in the multidisciplinary category, was one of 93 agencies and organizations to receive a 2023 Art & History Grant Award.
