2024 People-Powered Challenge

Thank you for helping us exceed our goal of $60,000! It’s not too late to give! For every $20 you donate, you will be entered into a raffle for tickets to GATHER: We Gon’ Be Alright! Learn more about GATHER.

Your donation is more than financial support—it’s a statement that you believe in the power of art to transform lives. It’s an affirmation that you stand with your neighbors in creating more vibrant, equitable communities.


This annual peer-to-peer fundraising campaign organizes the collective power of the people. Your participation is vital to support initiatives like our residency for community-attuned creative projects by artists of color based in Bed-Stuy, grants for local artists to create projects for the community, our fellowship for artists across the City who are interested in developing a socially-engaged creative practice and a diverse range of community programs like sidewalk workshops and public activations. To help support community action and resilience, donate today!

WHAT WE DO

The LP works with artists and neighbors to creatively consider and address critical issues impacting our communities and advocate for systematic changes. We connect, equip, and support artists, cultural producers, local residents, and anyone committed to generating dynamic collaborations in the interest of social good.

Pedagogy & Curriculum Development

Artist Development & Support

Community Engagement


1. Investing in local BIPOC artists, providing them with opportunities to build sustainable creative practices, and helping shape the future of their communities.

2. Helping transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary centers of community engagement and artistic expression.

3. Supporting programs that bring intergenerational neighbors together, fostering understanding and collective action.

4. Contributing to the preservation and celebration of Bed-Stuy’s rich, Black-rooted cultural heritage.

Remember, no action is too small. Your support, combined with the efforts of your fellow community members, creates a powerful force for positive transformation now. 

PEOPLE POWER IS COMMUNITY POWER.
