PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES2017

FREE ARTS NYC empowers underserved youth through arts and mentoring programs to

develop their creativity, confidence, and skills to succeed.

AS THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN LIVING IN TEMPORARY HOUSING IN NYC SOARS,

Free Arts commits to stepping up as one of the Department of Homeless Services’ important nonprofit partners, as well as continuing to support our

other community partners.

1 IN 3 NYC CHILDREN LIVE IN POVERTY

struggling daily to overcome the negative impact of income, housing, education, and health inequality.

LOW-INCOME YOUTH INVOLVED IN ART...

are more likely to attend college, obtain employment, and give back to their communities. At Free Arts this means:

• 91% of our kids learn new things about art• 98% of youth in our programs believe that, when they grow up, they’ll

do something important... and we believe it too!

Each year our programs enroll over 2,000 kids and families across NYC, and we’ve served over 30,000 since our inception in 1997.
