Artists Harper Bella and Jose Tutiven joined Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts, Inc. (BACCA) in Long Island, New York. Working alongside residents of the Town of Babylon, this collaboration created interactive, immersive outdoor public art installations designed to generate opportunities for cultural exchange and education. Jose organized the opening event of the Long Island Public Arts Festival, which brought artists from all over Long Island to the Town of Babylon to present art and exchange ideas among a culturally diverse and intergenerational cohort. Harper developed a public art installation that celebrated Caribbean culture while collaborating with local leaders and business-owners in the process. The artists also led programs in the local schools, including a celebration of World Music Day as well as education workshops and field trips for students.
