Yasmeen Abdallah
Art Instructor 

My artistic process examines aspects of history, ephemera, tangibility and space. I chose to be an art educator because I value the impact that art has on our lives, and how enriched and meaningful our lives become from both making and appreciating art. Each person sees the world differently, and I encourage my students to celebrate this individuality.

The role of an artist is multi-fold: we are creators, innovators, problem-solvers, and adventurers. Artists are highly attuned to the world we inhabit, and we create work that is inspired by and responsive to environment, culture, media, and contemplation.
Current Artist Series/Projects: Teaism, Of Stains and Remains, Afterbirths of Afterthoughts

Raul Barcelona
Filmmaking Instructor

As a filmmaker and a digital artist my international background has been instrumental in developing a vigorous and entertaining filmmaking style that exhibits my keen appreciation for political, cultural and social diversity.

Favorite Artists: Federico Fellini, David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Dupieux

Working on Now: My feature film about two friends that hike the length of Manhattan on a summer night – shot on location in the streets of New York, guerrilla-style.

Nicole Cohen

I enjoy painting but always love to explore new mediums and push my work in new directions. Teaching has been my way of giving back my knowledge and experience.
