Programs and Promotions, 1958-1985

This series contains information on outreach with a focus on how the Brooklyn Museum Art School supported, interacted and promoted their programs and courses to their community/neighbors. Programs were administered both onsite and offsite and include the High School program, and the Prison Program. The Prison Program taught prisoners at the Brooklyn House of Detention and Riker’s Island from 1970 to 1977. Other files in this series relate to special events and programs such as the Subway Project, where Brooklyn Museum Art School students improved subway stations with fresh paint, murals, and sculpture. Promotions are materials such as advertisements, mail, press releases and communications with the public.

These records contain flyers, white pages, advertisments, newspaper clippings, press releases, the Brooklyn Museum Art School newsletters and the news bulletin.
