Our Supporters

This Creative Art Works program was made possible, in part, by generous support from FunPlus.

This program is made possible, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Creative Art Works' Public Art Youth Employment program is supported by the Find Your Light Foundation, the LeRoy Neiman and Janet Byrne Neiman Foundation, the Ponce de Leon Foundation, and the William Talbot Hillman Foundation.
