Together, a short film

Commissioned by YoungArts, the film unites the work of YoungArts award winners and notable guest artists in an enchanting animated short that underscores powerful messages of solidarity and interdependence. Each frame of this film was sold as a one-of-a-kind print to support YoungArts.

Without Further Delay by Desmond Richardson

Commissioned by YoungArts in partnership with Aon, the performance investigated the particular moment by exploring elements of isolation, confinement, communality and perseverance.
