Collaborating with Magic Box Productions, we established an environmental artist residency program at the Harbor School on Governors’ Island. We are working with students from Marine Policy and Advocacy, Aquaculture and Professional Diving programs, helping students explore the local waters and create original ocean stories.

These sessions are active collaborative learning experiences. You can participate from anywhere in the world, interact with our teaching artists and guest speakers, create original works and make friends in other countries! The film workshops are led by London-based filmmaker, Pinny Grylls and organized in partnership with artist Alexis Raskin.

The guest speakers are locally and internationally renowned artists and scientists, including Nicola White, artist and mudlark from London; Ray Chin, oceanographer and cetacean photographer from Taiwan; and David Hassler, Director of Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University.
