Through multiple artistic disciplines taught by professional artists, Arts For All serves approximately 5,000 children a year who have little means or opportunity to explore the arts.

Welcome to Arts For All

Arts For All offers accessible artistic opportunities to children in the New York City area who face socio-economic, physical, or emotional barriers to exploring the arts. Through Arts For All, professional artists work with youth organizations to build self-confidence, self-expression, teamwork, resilience, and creativity in children.

How You Can Help

Thanks to the support of donors/volunteers like you, we’re able to bring our creative arts workshops to over 5,000 in-need NYC kids every year!

"Language is more than words. It is connection, culture, and confidence. For bilingual children, the arts provide a joyful way to celebrate who they are while continuing to grow as learners. When children see their language and culture reflected in the classroom, they gain a sense of belonging that helps them flourish as students and individuals. "

Today's featured blog post titled "Opening Doors Through Language: How the Arts Support Bilingual Kids" was written by Arts For All's Fall 2025 Intern Karla Banning.

"Art gives children a safe space to share what they feel even when they do not have the words yet. In the classroom we see every day how drawing, painting, and storytelling help students explore their emotions in a positive and healthy way. When children create something with their hands they slow down and focus which helps them recognize what is happening inside of them."

Today's featured blog post titled "Processing Emotions Through Art" was written by Arts For All's Fall 2025 Intern Karla Banning. We are excited to announce that Karla will be joining AFA as a Teaching Artist Assistant this spring!
