MISSION
ArtsConnection’s mission is to create socially just learning environments that strengthen the diverse voices of NYC’s children and youth, cultivating their arts and academic skills for success in a changing world.
HISTORY
Founded in 1979 to fill a widening gap in access to the arts in NYC public schools, ArtsConnection serves young people and the adults who work with them through the facilitation of arts education programs that inspire change and positively shift educational pathways for young people. Over the years we have evolved from service provider to a full educational partner, recognized nationally for creating successful arts education opportunities.
