On Wed, March 6, 2024, at St. Paul’s Chapel of Trinity Church Wall St, RTA celebrated the creativity and stories of RTA alumni through performances and conversations. Performers included Kenyatta Emmanuel, Darrian Bennett, Clarence Maclin, Alfred Roberts, and Sherika Stewart, moderated by Charles Moore.
Fusing music, spoken word, visual arts, and panel discussion with RTA alumni around how people in prison develop critical life skills through the arts, NOVUS Renewal: The Transformative Work of RTA was a joyous and heartfelt event that showed us how the arts are an important creative outlet that transforms lives and brings the community together.
