MOTR SUMMER II - a fundraiser & party to support the Music on the RISE Foundation feat. Ultra Violet, Rissa Garcia, Aspirin & Más Corazón b2b Blvck Truffle
The Music on the RISE Foundation (or “MOTR” ) is an organization that is dedicated to providing robust musical education, cultural music heritage and professional music industry guidance to black and latino youth in underserved communities severely lacking in music education funding in the NYC metropolitan area.
This past spring we wrapped up our virtual pilot program with the DOE school Walkabout Bronx High School, where our program reached 51 students as both a club and end of the year initiative. We are currently gearing up for our fall programs which will be our first in person initiatives post pandemic.
Based out of Key+Needle Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn - MOTR’s fundraisers aim to create community around the foundation’s ethos in order to amplify and raise awareness on the importance of saving the arts in NYC’s underserved public schools.
