After a 40-year hiatus, New York artist Max Rosen is returning to the art world and leveraging his talent to support Achievement First’s mission. We believe every student deserves the opportunity to explore their creativity and discover the power of self-expression. Through the sale of his work, Max is raising funds to enrich arts education at AF schools in Brooklyn. On Thursday, May 15, his new exhibit will open at Picto NY, with a goal of raising $50,000, and 100% of proceeds will go directly to support our arts programming. We're deeply grateful for Max’s generosity, talent, and investment in our scholars and community.
