Mission
Art Beyond Cornell is a student-run organization that aims to bring new perspectives to both Cornell students and institutionalized youth by providing a means of self-expression, communication and growth through art. Students volunteer weekly at the MacCormick Secure Center, a high-security prison for boys and men up to 21 years of age in Brooktondale, New York, bringing a wide range of art projects to the residents. By sharing these projects with the Cornell community, students raise awareness of the American carceral system, specifically its consequences for youth.
