Branded Arts has wrapped up an epic Festival at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Queens, New York! Formerly attended by Ronnie Fieg, founder of KITH. Benjamin N. Cardozo High School is a public high school in the Queens borough of New York City, USA. The school is named for Benjamin N. Cardozo, who served as chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals and then as a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Branded Arts founder Warren Brand curated the festival, and over fifteen artists painted a series of murals throughout Cardozo High from 23rd to 27th May 2022. Across the course of the week, the school hosted public guided tours of the mural painting, an academic symposium, a pop-up art gallery, community workshops by City Kids Foundation and more.

Like all New York City public schools, Cardozo High School is operated by the New York City Department of Education. It is generally referred to simply as “Cardozo,” or just “‘dozo” by the students. DOZO was painted by Shaina Mccoy with letters by OsGemeos.

Faust painted the bulldog mascot for Cardozo High School. Benjamin N. Cardozo served as a Supreme Court Justice from 1932-1938. You will often see a bulldog representing the school because Justice Cardozo’s nickname was “the bulldog” when he served on the Supreme Court.

Ukrainian-American artist Maya Hayuk paints her Ukrainian heritage into her mural, incorporating blue and yellow and standing with Ukraine as they defend against the Russian Invasion.

The Branded Arts Festival continues to facilitate the importance of art in educational systems, hosting student engagement projects throughout the festival. Students were involved with mural production through workshops and seminars and participated in an academic symposium with a wide array of presentations.
