Our Team
Barbara Anderson
I lived on the Upper West Side, and was a middle school teacher when I came up with the idea for Art on the Ave. As an English and History teacher, I’m passionate about narratives, voice and perspective. Art tells powerful stories, and this project spotlights artists with unique outlooks and experiences to share.
Jackie Graham
I was a high school social studies teacher but I now work for an art museum alongside my involvement with Art on the Ave. In all my roles, I aim to engage my community and promote different points of view and ways of thinking. Art on the Ave inspires me with its potential to give voice and a platform to talented artists who deserve it but might not otherwise have it.
