Join Street Works @ 2nd Story Movement for a creative brainstorm on how to build wealth in and for our for our families & communities.
Many of us haven’t had the opportunity to to learn about how to navigate money, wealth, and the financial systems that shape our lives. Starting in 2026, we’re working to create more artistic spaces to explore wealth gaps, wealth literacy, and planning for the long term together.
Eventually, we’re aiming to build a wealth + climate literacy training or curriculum designed and led by our community. To get there, we’re first clarifying what’s needed, grounding in art, and getting feedback on the sketch of a curriculum. We also welcome co-leaders interested in designing something from scratch!
This was started by a small group who built their financial knowledge from public resources and get how hard it is to learn the secrets of a system that is gated by design. We hope we can be a place to learn exactly how people in America build wealth over time, imagine alternatives to the unjust systems that have created extreme wealth inequality, and speak openly about goals so we can financially destress together.

About: Eric Stern’s Cuban Jazz Project:
It is a new trio. The project aims to seamlessly blend two genres of music – Cuban timba, the cuban dance music of Elito Reve, Alex Abreu, Los Van Van, and others, and American jazz, which Eric grew up with in Brooklyn – the music of Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and the great American Songbook. By incorporating jazz improvisation and harmonic innovation into the format of a standard cuban timba band, never losing danceability or rhythmic sensibility, the project blends both timba and jazz into one music, honoring both traditions while moving the music forward, together.
About Eric Stern:
Eric Stern is a pianist and composer based in New York City. Eric plays a variety of genres of music, including latin jazz with John Benitez, salsa with Carabali, modern jazz with Noah Myers’ Sonder, hip-hop with Good Lives Crew, and straight-ahead jazz with a myriad of young artists. Eric’s ability to blend these influences seamlessly into any performance, while staying authentic to each genre, has allowed Eric to quickly establish himself as a rising star in the NYC music scene.

Her recent project Barbarella explores original songwriting in English and Spanish, while her solo dance-theater work TrashBata merges performance with environmental activism. Martínez comes from a lineage of celebrated artists and holds degrees from Brown University and Berklee College of Music. Praised by The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer, she continues to perform internationally while also teaching music in New York.
