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.
