DonorsChoose will unveil “Within Reach,” a public art installation, on Monday, November 16, at the northeast corner of Flushing and Porter in Bushwick, suspending a case of school supplies high on a wall and out of reach to draw attention to more than $230,000 in unfunded classroom requests from local public schools during Giving Season.
The installation hangs a case of books, art materials and STEM kits visibly out of reach on a wall at 4 Porter, Brooklyn, 11237. A QR code at the site lets passersby donate directly to local classroom projects through DonorsChoose, an education nonprofit that routes donor funding to public school teachers. The piece will be on view through Tuesday, December 1.
Across Bushwick ZIP codes 11206, 11221, 11237 and 11207, teachers using DonorsChoose currently have more than $230,000 in unfunded classroom requests, from 219 teachers across 77 area schools.
