OUR MISSION Creative Art Works empowers young people through the visual and multimedia arts. Our programs equip NYC children, teens and young adults with essential tools and skills; connect them with community, academic success and career opportunities; and inspire them to reach for new possibilities. Working in underserved neighborhoods, we provide in-school and out-ofschool time classes, public art youth employment programs, and community art-making events in partnership with public schools, recreation and cultural centers, juvenile justice and foster care settings, parks, community events, and the remote/virtual environment. Our programs build confidence, unlock a love of learning, and teach valuable technical and social-emotional skills. Students are never charged for participation.
