ARTWorks for Kids

Significant work needs significant support. ARTWorks for Kids garners sustained private and public support of arts organizations that transform the lives of kids in Eastern Massachusetts. We promote the arts in classrooms, afterschool programs, and the larger community to encourage young people to stay on track. We hope our initiative will provoke change in other communities across the country.

We help organizations through:   

• Advocacy—Educating policymakers to increase public funding
• Outreach—Forging partnerships to identify new donors
• Convening—Building a coalition to strengthen youth arts
• Grant Making—Funding arts organizations directly

Our goal is to create a model that can be replicated by other communities.
