Happy Fall! School Year 24-25 is now in full swing, and we are so excited to get back into the classrooms after a busy summer of planning, preparation, and hiring of new Teaching Artists to our roster.
Plans for School Year 2024-2025
We are planning to provide more than 1000 workshops total in 2024-2025 with our 14 partner locations:
Accounting for all of 2024, we are on track to serve about 5,000 students total by the end of 2024. Next year, we are expecting to serve about 5,200 students total by the end of 2025!
Join us as we welcome Ana, Azriel, Kalyani and Natalie to the Arts For All Teaching Artist Roster! We can't wait to see their work and support to bring the arts into classrooms across New York City's 5 boroughs.
Arts For All's initiative to provide bilingual programming into some of our in-person programs continues to flourish. Our roster now includes several Teaching Artists who are fluent in Spanish as well as several other languages to help address any communication gaps that may be present within our workshops.
As of Fall 2024, our Virtual Content has grown to a total of 192 videos between 23 different series (over 68,000 views!) This summer we premiered our latest Artistic Residency Program video series titled The Sensory Museum! Featuring Arts For All Teaching Artist Nicole Hogsett, this five-part series takes viewers on a journey to explore the five senses — sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste — through theater, music, movement, and visual arts.
