Artists Heralded as NY1’s New Yorkers of the Week
A wonderful piece ran on NY1 from Friday, January 20th, through Monday evening, January 23rd. Eight ICL artists and ICL Arts and Activities Counselor Dylan Stanfield were selected as NY1’s “New Yorker’s of the Week!” in recognition of the team’s use of artistic talents to powerfully communicate and help dispel stigma and myths surrounding limitations and infinite possibilities of those with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. A live interview on The Call preceded  the heroes profile and featured artist James W. and his ICL Pacific Street Residence Manager Ingrid Barton-Alder. View the video.
