SUMMARY:Everyone Has a Story to Tell! Storytelling Workshop with BAC Artist-in-Residence Kona Morris
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Has a Story to Tell! Storytelling Workshop\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Kona Morris\nDate & Time: Thursday\, September 26\, 7 – 8:30PM \nJoin writer and storyteller Kona Morris (The Moth\, RISK!) for a crafting workshop to generate story ideas and learn how to structure them for optimal audience engagement. Bring a notebook and your most vivid memories!   \nMore About The Workshop\nStorytelling is both unique and universal. Our stories are what make us stand out as individuals\, but also what allows us to relate and have empathy for one another. The desire to share our stories is in our DNA. For as long as our ancestors could speak\, they were telling each other stories—to entertain\, to share learned wisdoms\, and to process intense experiences. It is a medium like no other because it encompasses every person on the planet\, no matter their background\, field of study\, or walk of life.  \nIn this 90-minute workshop\, we will start with a “Story Mining” exercise that provides prompts to help you remember your most important stories. Then we will cover storytelling techniques and tools for structuring successful stories. We will talk about the importance of a strong ending\, and how to tailor it for your specific audience and purpose. You will leave this workshop with a list of your best stories—and with the inspiration and confidence to share them!   \nAbout Kona\nKona Morris is a writer\, storyteller\, and comedian. She has won The Moth StorySLAM in Los Angeles\, and she’s been featured on national podcasts such as RISK!\, Monkey Tooth\, and It’s Funny Now. Kona starred in Denver’s Live Drunk History Comedy Troupe\, and her short stories and articles have appeared in a variety of publications.  \nTo learn more about Kona: https://konamorris.com/  \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner

SUMMARY:Art\, Intuition & Intention: Conversation and Co-Creation with BAC Artist-in-Residence Ziedah Diata
DESCRIPTION:Art\, Intuition & Intention: Conversation and Co-Creation\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Ziedah Diata\nDate & Time: Saturday\, September 28\, 2024 2 – 4PM \n“Art\, Intuition & Intention: Conversation and Co-Creation with Artist\, Ziedah Diata” is an artist talk and guided art-making experience. Ziedah will share her views on “participatory art” as a social connector and as an activator-amplifier of the inner voice. She will guide participants through movement\, breath and visualization exercises for waking up and sustaining natural\, accessible intuition. Participants will create a personal\, interactive art piece for working with intuition and intention-setting at home.   \nThis experience is designed and intended for cross-generational connection and creation. Youth\, elders and everyone in between are welcome. Recommended for participants age 8 and up.   \nAbout Ziedah\nZiedah Diata is a Brooklyn\, New York-based artist\, facilitator\, and attorney. Since 2011\, Ziedah has created participatory art experiences independently and in collaboration with cultural organizers\, teachers\, poets\, healers and playwrights. Her work is inspired\, in part\, by the recurring themes that emerged in testimony during her 15 year career as an administrative law judge: harm\, repair\, empathy and transformation. In 2023\, Ziedah left her role as Chief Administrative Law Judge for the New York State Department of State. She now explores these same themes through facilitated art-making and storytelling experiences. In 2023\, Ziedah launched Bed-Stuy Drawn Together\, an intergenerational art-making and story-sharing project\, in collaboration with Stoop Stories and the Annual Stoops Art Crawl. Ziedah is a 2024 Laundromat Project Create Change Fellow. In addition to creating communal experiences\, she also designs personal participatory art pieces for reflection\, intention-setting and play. \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! The Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is sold out. If you’re interested in being on the waitlist for this workshop\, please email julias@bethanyarts.org. \nThe Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias\nDate & Time: Thursday\, August 13\, 2026 6:30-9PM\nFREE Community Program. Registration required.  \nMaintaining an artistic practice that dedicates substantial time to think ahead of making is a valuable skill that assists in enhancing art’s content. Join us for a detailed workshop designed to develop this skill by focusing on the importance of intention and planning before creating an artwork.  \nParticipants will be guided through a series of group breathing\, writing and sketching exercises created to develop finding inspiration\, and reconnecting with the self. For those with artistic experience\, this workshop will aid in sharpening your voice\, and for those with a desire to make art\, this workshop will serve as a launching point to discover it. Everyone will walk away with a deeper understanding of their drive to make and a framework for how to tap into it. Be prepared for a relaxing evening devoted to The Power of Process!  \nAll artists are welcome\, ages 16+ — any experience level\, background\, or discipline. The workshop will include a dedicated time for hands-on “making\,” so we encourage you to bring your own art supplies related to your artistic discipline and/or what you’d like to explore during this workshop. Writing materials will be provided.  \nFor questions\, accessibility requests\, or assistance with registration\, email julias@bethanyarts.org or call BAC at 914-944-4278.   \nThis event is an Artist Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner.  \nAbout Jayna\nJayna Dias is a Senegalese-American visual artist and performer that creates works rooted in the complexity of the Black diaspora. Through drawings\, paintings\, and the body\, Dias creates visual exemplifications of the intricacy of Black identity\, Western colonialism’s intervention on it\, and how deconstruction can be a powerful tool in reasserting it. Her work investigates themes of misogynoir\, cultural hybridity\, and fetishization channeled through lived experiences\, family lineage\, and academic research. Unstable compositions\, expressionistic figures\, boisterous colors\, and found materials are all utilized in her practice to stage invitations for viewers to engage with the underrepresented themes she depicts. Above all\, Dias’ practice is about visibility. \nDias earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of Southern California in 2024. She has exhibited around Los Angeles\, shown in Venice\, Italy during the 2024 Biennale\, and has work in the Newport Historical Society’s collection for their Center of Black History. She completed an academic research fellowship through the Frank C. Munson Institute at the Mystic Seaport Museum in 2025 and was a visiting resident at Real Time & Space in Oakland during February of 2026. Currently practicing in Los Angeles\, Dias also works as a Visitor Experience and Community Engagement Associate at the California African American Museum. \nThis fellowship is generously supported by
