About the Project

The Fledgling Fund provided a one-year grant to support the growth of freeDimensional, an emerging organization in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn with an innovative organizational model that integrates community development and international social justice. Its Center for International Art & Community CIAC provides artists, activists, and citizen journalists with residential and/or studio space for two to four-month periods; creates interaction with community youth through our Syndicate 19 program; and organizes programs with city-wide outlets that enable both artists and youth to promote their work and discuss their experiences, fostering awareness of human rights issues in the community.
