Mission
Creative Art Works empowers young people through the visual and multimedia arts. Our programs equip NYC children, teens and young adults with essential tools and skills; connect them with community, academic success and career opportunities; and inspire them to reach for new possibilities. Working in underserved neighborhoods, we provide in-school and out-of-school time classes, public art youth employment programs, and community art-making events in partnership with public schools, recreation and cultural centers, juvenile justice and foster care settings, parks, community events, and in the remote/virtual environment. Our programs build confidence, unlock a love of learning, and teach valuable technical and social-emotional skills. Students are never charged for participation.
About
Creative Art Works Public Art Youth Employment program offered 130 apprenticeships in FY19, creating eight works of large-scale public art and five mini-documentaries. Youth Apprentices(YAs), aged 14-24, were given full-time summer jobs and/or part-time after-school jobs. They created artwork in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. Starting with concept development through to public unveiling/premier, all CAW apprentices developed tangible employment skills as well as life skills such as leadership, teamwork, the power of taking initiative and responsibility. All the unveiling events were well attended by a wide array of stakeholders, including senior-level NYC agency officials and elected representatives. (Continue to Schedule O - 07b.
