Arts Ignite NYC!
Arts Ignite NYC! brings the visual and performing arts to young people throughout all five New York City boroughs.
About the program
Building the artistic identities of young people throughout NYC
Arts Ignite NYC! uses the arts as a means to build young people’s creative capacity, courage, and sense of community. Drawing from multiple programmatic offerings, we provide access to new forms of artistic expression for communities across the five boroughs. Arts Ignite NYC! participants come from a variety of lived experiences and include children, teenagers, and young adults.
Strength and power in community
Arts Ignite NYC! provides an accessible artistic experience for young people through a variety of events and workshops. Our dynamic programming is based on strong relationships; all Arts Ignite NYC! activities reflect and build on the powerful work that our community members have been steadily creating on the ground.
Arts Ignite NYC! workshops
Arts Ignite NYC! workshops can take place at community spaces, schools, community events, after-school programs, and summer programs. Arts Ignite Teaching Artists bring their artistic and educational expertise to each program, incorporating social-emotional learning techniques, English language acquisition strategies, academic alignment, and justice-driven curricula.
