COMING SOON!

Celebrating Student Creativity for America’s 250th

Coming in June: WNET, New York’s flagship public media station, will launch Tapestry of New York—a new online platform showcasing the creative work of New York students in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.

The platform will feature artwork and media created by elementary, middle, and high school students across the state, reflecting their unique views on the American Revolution and the “unfinished revolutions” that followed. Student submissions might include collages, drawings, paintings, photography, graphics, videos, and other artworks. All submissions will include written statements by students about their work.

Open to all K–12 students in New York from June to December 2026

Schools, libraries, museums, and after-school programs across the state are invited to participate and submit student work.

The Tapestry of New York visual storytelling platform will feature:

  • A teacher toolkit to support historical reflection, inquiry, and enrichment
  • A multidisciplinary approach integrating art, media, social studies, and ELA
  • Searchable student submissions, filterable by school, district, region, keyword, genre, and more

Sign up to be a Pilot Teacher and Project Advisor.

  • Lead by example: Your students’ work will serve as models for classrooms across New York.
  • Shape the project: Provide feedback on the final Tapestry of New York website and educator toolkit.
  • Be recognized: Pilot teachers will receive a stipend in appreciation of their time and expertise.
