  What is this? CAL (Convergence Arts Lab) is a creative lab where different art forms are explored, developed, and merged for all ages. The origin of CAL was established in 2007 under the name of IMPACT (Integrated Multi-media Performing Arts Creative Technology) at New York University and has run the intensive art program through 2020. In 2024, the program has been broadened and updated under the new name “Convergence Arts Lab.” 

  What is this?  Youth Music Festival at NYU creates a new, collaborative way of sharing original new music with young musicians and their teachers. Composers will have an exciting experience of writing music for the various groups/levels/interest of young musicians. In contrast, young musicians will learn/meet/perform new works by living composers.  Each season the concert will be based on a different theme/media.  This opportunity provides the core concept of collaboration, understanding one’s mind through music.

Meeso is a Korean Cultural Club and a space for students to learn the spirit of Korean Culture (old and modern) and share their enthusiasm about Korean culture.  Meeso is the Korean word for 'smile,' and we wish to send smiles to the communities around us by contributing to a deeper understanding of Korean--and more generally Asian--culture in the New York Metropolitan area. 

   What is this? It’s a program/club building a friendship and leadership through making Origamiami for teens. Origami is the folding paper art from Asia and had become popular in the states over the years. And kids in NJ are finding it as a tool to build the friendship as well as a valuable tool to help others who are in-needs.  Origami is the fundamental tool of making artworks, but adapting other materials and ideas will broaden one’s mind to see how one connects to the others. Paper Kids is a youth group formed by Kevin Ju, Andrew Qin, Kyle Schubert, Brian Yoon (President), Jimmy Yu, and Daniel Woo, who have high prospects to educate and share the fun and building a friendship by makiOrigamiami. Paper kids donate their works to various places, including hospitals, libraries, and groups, where other kids can enjoy their works. All members have been teaching community members and other kids how to make Origami through workshops and presentations in the libraries, NJ, and NY.
