About this organization
Mission
Free Arts NYC empowers underserved youth through art and mentoring programs to develop their creativity, confidence, and skills to succeed.
About
Free Arts Days are wholly interactive arts education activities for children ages 6-12. Through art projects and one-on-one mentoring, the day helps develop visual literacy, creative problem solving and design skills, while the one on one mentorship builds protective factors, such as communication skills, cooperation and confidence. Mentor and child pairs work on child-directed art projects with very little step-by-step instruction. The pairs are guided by a creative packet, with information about the days theme and projects. The curriculum is tied into the common core standards and the blueprint for teaching and learning. In 2019, Free Arts NYC served 2,786 youth and engaged 4,815 volunteers.
