WHO WE ARE

ARTS FOR ALL, INC. is a non-profit arts outreach organization serving in-need children ages 4-19. Our mission is to provide artistic opportunities to in-need youth communities in the greater New York City area.  The majority of our programs are free of charge. Through ARTS FOR ALL, professional artists work with children who have little means or opportunity to explore the arts due to economic disadvantages, physical and mental disabilities, hospitalization, socialization issues, emotional trauma, or any other life challenge.

HISTORY
Originally, ARTS FOR ALL, INC. started out as a New York University Club called Community Connections. Community Connections received the NYU President's Service Award for Volunteerism and Community Service for its dedication and immense service to New York City through spreading awareness of the arts. Beginning in February of 2003 ARTS FOR ALL worked under the auspices of Children With Challenges for just over two years. As ARTS FOR ALL grew, so did its need for better facilities and a larger parent organization. In the summer of 2005 ARTS FOR ALL came under the fiscal agent World Cares Center. We continued our services with even greater impact on the community as we were able to reach out to more in-need children.  As of January 2008, Arts for All, INC. has become its own incorporated organization.  We look forward to continuing our mission of serving the in-need through the arts.
