About this Event
Join us on the Waterfront Plaza at Brookfield Place New York with NYC Mural Arts Project.
In New York City, one in five adults experiences a mental health disorder in any given year. If we better understand mental health, we can address stigma and its impact on ourselves and others in our communities. The NYC Mural Arts Project (NYCMAP) creates a platform that provides opportunities for education and meaningful community interaction. Through our collaborative mural making process, we strive to destigmatize mental illness across NYC neighborhoods.
Join Program Manager Ryan Patrick for a talk and workshop about the role community-driven mural making plays in eliminating the stigma surrounding mental illness. Stay after for a participatory art workshop where we'll use discussions around mental health and stigma to generate ideas for an imaginary mural. All ages and artistic abilities are welcome!
NYCMAP is a program of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Brooklyn Community Services.

About The Fandangoe Skip *on tour*
Following 2021’s successful UK tour of The Fandangoe Whip, Annie Nicholson, AKA The Fandangoe Kid has partnered with Skip Gallery and CAUKIN Studio to present The Fandangoe SKIP, an ice cream kiosk made from a re-purposed skip in London and New York. The original project toured the UK offering ice cream and mental health support to diverse communities as we began to emerge from the global pandemic and all its challenges. Founded by artist Annie Nicholson, following her own experiences of grief, this project seeks to smash taboos around grief and mental health and offer an alternative space to open up the conversation, alongside a therapeutic programme curated by The Loss Project.
We are excited to bring the Fandangoe Skip on Tour to Brookfield Place New York in partnership with Brookfield Properties who are commissioning us. The New York installation will be created from a repurposed dumpster and feature a wide array of public programming, including talks, workshops, and arts activations on the Waterfront Plaza at Brookfield Place.
