It's July, that means school is out and summer is underway!
It also means we have reach the halfway point of Arts For All's 10 Year Aniversary! Serving as an independent non-profit for a decade, Arts For All has been able to focus and strengthen our mission to offer accessible artistic opportunites to children in New York City who face socio-economic, physical, or emotional barriers to exploring the arts. Over the years, we have taken the arts to public schools, hospitals, shelters, youth service organizations, and community centers.
To celebrate, each month this year we have been spotlighting Arts For All supporters, student work, partner sites, and programs. Everything from:
June Partner Spotlight: AFA’s partnership with Weeksville Elementary (Brooklyn) is one of the oldest. Since 2009, Weeksville students have participated in AFA’s Audience Project & Artistic Residency Program. The last 2 years, the school has requested a dance residency to help the students prepare for the end-of-year school Dance Festival.
These programs and more would not be possible without supporters like you. Your support could go even further. Global Giving has announced a Rewards Match Day for July 18! Donations made to Arts For All through the Global Giving on July 18 will be matched at 50% (while matching funds are available)!
Thank you for supporting our mission to make arts accessible to all!
