Art Beyond Cornell

A Project by Art Beyond Cornell

Art Beyond Cornell is the only organization that brings art materials into MacCormick. Without our weekly programming, the boys at MacCormick would have no other opportunity to engage in art making.

However, the costs of transportation limit the number of volunteers and the frequency of our visits. Your support means that the boys at MacCormick can continue to access high quality art materials and consistent volunteer engagement. It also means that Art Beyond Cornell has increased capacity to educate and uplift the community at Cornell through art galleries and educational events.

Volunteering in person at MacCormick is essential to our mission to foster access to the arts and creative expression for incarcerated youth. Your support means that the boys at MacCormick continue to have access to high quality art programming,
