As a Free Arts NYC Member, you’re an automatic advocate for thousands of children in shelters, group homes and foster care agencies who might otherwise be deprived of even the most basic opportunities for creative self-expression and artistic experiences.

Join the Free Arts NYC Membership Program and help bring the healing gift of art and friendship to the children and families we serve.

Your membership contribution goes directly to buying art supplies, training volunteers to serve as mentors and providing at-risk children and families with culturally enriching experiences.

Last year, we spread creativity and hope to over 5,000 children and families. In 2006, with your help, our programs can continue to expand and positively impact more lives.
