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.

"The start of the school year is also the perfect time to remember that learning is not only about tests and textbooks. It is about curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Children need opportunities to explore their identities, share their voices, and feel proud of what they create. Through the arts, they discover that their ideas matter and that they have the power to imagine and build new possibilities."
Today's featured blog post titled "Back to School with Arts For All: Starting the Year with Creativity" was written by Arts For All's Fall 2025 Intern Karla Banning.
