Free Arts Goes Green!
Free Arts NYC would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us gather materials for our “Earth Smart Art” curricula. This spring, all three of our programs focused on RECYCLING, as kids and families transformed coffee cups into alligator puppets and plastic bottles into piggy banks. Many generous corporations and individuals helped us to bring these amazing projects to low-income children and families.
