Company Performance Metrics
Recess partners with artists, youth, writers, and community members to create transformative cultural experiences through contemporary art. The organization presents public programs such as exhibitions, performances, screenings, workshops, and critical writing projects that are free and open to the public. Recess operates initiatives like Session,
Assembly, and Digital Assembly that support artists’ projects and engage system-impacted youth in arts-based learning and diversion programs. Its activities emphasize collaborative art-making, storytelling, and creative exchange as tools to examine mass criminalization, race, gender, and other social issues. Recess also embeds artists and youth within partner organizations and offers community safety workshops and curricular training. Through these programs, it uses art to build networks of resilience, safety, and shared accountability.
