Big news from The Project! 🎭🚨📰

After 35 years at The 52nd Street Project, our beloved Executive Director Carol Ochs will be retiring this November. We’re incredibly grateful for all she has built and for the many years she has devoted to the young people and community of The Project.

We’re also very happy to welcome Brian Adamczyk as our next Executive Director. Brian is an arts nonprofit leader, educator, and professional musician who joins us from Brooklyn Music School.

We’re looking forward to this next chapter, and to having Brian become part of the Project family.

Thank you, Carol. And welcome, Brian! ❤️

Had the absolute best time kicking off and running the @brooklynexperiencehalf. Very proud of myself for doing something new and HARD (who would’ve thought I’d pick athletic hobby??)

Our 52 Run Crew is taking on the Brooklyn Half THIS SUNDAY 🏃‍♀️💛 and we are SO ready to show up for them. We’ll be posted up around mile 7 on Flatbush Ave (look for the 52 signs & a group of people being rowdy) to cheer everyone through, then heading to Wild East Brewing after to hang, celebrate, and refuel together. If you’re one of our runners, send this to your people so they know where to find us- and if you know one of our runners (or are just part of our community), come through!! it’s going to be such a good day 🤩
also… we’re in the final stretch (literally) and doing one last push on fundraising 💥 every mile our runners have trained for is supporting the Project, and it really means sooo much. if you’re able, consider donating or sharing their pages, you can find the link in bio 💛 let’s get them across the finish line in every way!!!

We’re thrilled to congratulate Project alum Natalie Musteata on her Academy Award nomination for Two People Exchanging Saliva ✨

Natalie was once a Project Kid, and it is amazing to see what our members go on to create in the world. Moments like this remind us exactly why we do what we do!! 🤍

Her bold, inventive short has been widely praised on the festival circuit and is now recognized on the industry’s biggest stage.

If anyone in our community, or within your networks, is an Academy voter, we hope you’ll consider supporting Natalie’s film. And even if you’re not, you can watch and share the film on YouTube and help spread the word!

We are so proud. Always cheering you on, Natalie 🥂

Swipe to see Natalie during her Project Kid days ✨
