Thanks to all of you who celebrated with us at our virtual gala on April 22nd! During our live presentation, we took the time to marvel at the outpouring and diversity of art by our students and youth apprentices over the past year. We were inspired by reflections from our young people, many of whom joined us in real time, and we took the opportunity to celebrate the leadership and contributions of our honorees. We also shared some exciting news and announcements.

Profound thanks to honoree Whitney Arcaro and to our Host Committee, who were devoted and determined in their outreach. We are so very grateful to the many individual and corporate sponsors and donors who stepped up during these challenging times and added their names to our astounding donor wall. Together, we have raised over $750,000 to sustain our vital creative youth development work with NYC’s young people!

With a successful and heartwarming Benefit behind us, this summer's Public Art Youth Employment program on our doorstep, and the expectation that we will return to in-person instruction in September, we are optimistic for the coming year. Thanks to you, we will be able to meet the outpouring of requests for continued programs, which our kids need now more than ever.

We hope you will enjoy a few of the beautiful moments from our virtual gala by following the links below.
