Art Beyond the Ink (ABI) is a NYC-based arts education organization which supports young students and early-career artists through musical storytelling and interdisciplinary collaboration. Founded in 2020 by two musicians and educators, ABI is guided by the philosophy that every piece of music tells stories. We specialize in teaching music to children using interdisciplinary arts activities and performances, with a strong focus on emotional intent and expression within music. Through our workshops, our students strengthen their listening skills in and outside of music, their tools for self-expression and their emotional intelligence. Our classes have accommodated students with no prior training and years of study alike. We have also worked extensively with children in foster care and prevention services.
The ABI workbook, “Hearing and Seeing Musical Stories: The Story-Filled Tool for Understanding What You Hear,” has been used by over 250 students in partnerships with the Mott Haven Academy Charter School, Buffalo String Works, Bow & Heart, and the Harlem Dowling West-Side Center for Children and Family Services. Art Beyond the Ink programs have expanded to include singular workshops, semester-long after-school and summer courses, and film production in collaboration with early-career artists. Our work, both in education and film, has been commissioned and showcased by the New York Public Library; one film, Sketches of Love, was screened at the Backyard at Hudson Yards in June 2021 in celebration of Pride month.
