This month’s installment of our Staff Spotlight series features our Project Designer, Rose Malenfant. As a Project Designer, Rose collaborates with youth and educators to create hands-on projects tied in with the content students are learning in their classroom.

This month’s installment of our Community Spotlight features American-born, Afro-Grenadian interdisciplinary artist, educator, and the designer of our 2020 Beam NYC Project, Shervone Neckles. As an artist, Shervone makes embellished textiles, prints, sculptures, installations, and public art in which she intricately melds Afro-Caribbean heritage into her diverse creations — capturing history across America.

As we count down to the Beam Benefit Brunch in May, we want to shine our light on this year’s honoree, Fabian Jabro. Fabian has been a Beam inspiration from the very beginning, and he’s been a part of our community through our many evolutions.
