The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Met’s Civic Practice Partnership (CPP), launched in 2017, is a two-year artist-in-residence program for socially engaged artists and art collectives. CPP catalyzes and implements creative projects that advance healthy communities by bringing the skills and interests of neighborhood stakeholders together with those of The Met and artists who are socially minded in their practice. Artists selected for the CPP program work in their own neighborhoods across New York City and at The Met to develop and implement ambitious projects and forge meaningful collaborations.
The Met invited two dynamic artists for the Civic Practice Partnership’s inaugural program: choreographer and performance artist Rashida Bumbray, working in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and multimedia visual artist Miguel Luciano, working in East Harlem.
In 2020 we welcomed three additional artists to the program: Jon Gray of artistic and culinary collective Ghetto Gastro, Mei Lum and the W.O.W. Project, a community organizing and arts space in Manhattan’s Chinatown, and musician and composer Toshi Reagon.
