The Breathing Project is a NYFA sponsored project.

The Breathing Project is a global forward-looking, multidisciplinary artistic engagement which pairs artists, musicians and poets with healthcare and frontline workers, students, and the elderly who have been impacted by COVID-19. Artworks honor all stories, tragic or inspiring, transforming these stories into beauty that is hopeful, informational and engaging. The Breathing Project listens. And it responds with a global culture of understanding and shared experiences.
