In the 1990’s while teaching as an itinerant artist in NYC public schools, he organized community art festivals for the Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition. As the decade drew to a close, he directed an artist residency program for K-8 classrooms in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and curated exhibitions at the Independence Community Bank branch in Red Hook. The venue’s design as an art gallery enabled a forum for conceptually driven displays of the vibrant South Brooklyn community. He also served as a grant advisor for the Community Assets Organizational Support Program of the New Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) from 1997-2000.
