MISSION

Celebrate Bed Stuy is an arts and business festival founded by Bed-Stuy natives with over 50 years of family roots in the community. We showcase musicians, dancers, visual artists, poets, filmmakers, and small businesses while providing workshops and panels that serve as educational opportunities and resources for the community.

VISION

Celebrate Bed Stuy advances social justice by centering the arts as a powerful tool to amplify Bedford-Stuyvesant’s rich cultural history and creative voices. We envision a thriving, empowered community where the neighborhood’s historic legacy is honored and sustained for future generations.
