ArtsConnection is one of the oldest arts education organizations in New York City for a reason: for over 42 years, its gathering of educators, artists, and New Yorkers who care has been determined to connect students with the arts no matter what else was going on around the globe or in our city. Now, as the world reels at this uncertain time, we are still at the forefront of arts education in New York City, digitally connecting students and their families to vital arts programming. The day after the mayor announced schools would be closing, we were on Zoom devising ways to continue our arts programs, providing consistency and creating community along the way. We’re working tirelessly to bring dance, theater, visual arts, music and more to NYC kids and the larger global community. We’re supporting young creators with top-notch arts instruction and the social emotional learning the arts so deftly offers that is so important now. We’re there because we care.
Harnessing the transformative power of the arts, ArtsConnection helps students and teens connect to each other, their schools and families and the larger community. Now, more than ever, we need your support to continue creating connections for students and teens.
Please give to ArtsConnection today to support:
· Art material kits to accompany remote lessons
· Tech hardware and software necessary for our teaching artists to create remote lessons
· The salaries of teaching artists who bring award-winning theater, dance, music, visual arts and media residencies to our students, their families and schools
· Seminar courses for our teens to virtually explore, discuss and write about the rich NYC arts landscape and to assist them in shaping their career and college pathways
