"Thinking globally - acting locally, CITYarts projects build bridges of cultural understanding and give youth the opportunity to take an active role in shaping their future".

-- Tsipi Ben-Haim, CITYarts Executive & Artistic Director

MISSION
CITYarts empowers children and youth by bringing them together with professional artists to create public art that addresses civic and social issues, impacts their lives, and transforms their communities.

PROGRAMS
We give our children and youth the opportunity to get actively involved in their communities, do something to make their world a better place, and assume responsibility through the creation of murals and mosaics led by professional artists.

PROJECTS
CITYarts public art projects give youth a stage to ask, "What does peace look like to me?", "What can I do to reduce the speed of global warming?", and other urgent and relevant questions, and to address them artistically through cooperation and creation.

RESULTS
Since 1968, CITYarts has created over 280 projects, transformed over 200 communities, impacted over 100,000 kids in New York and over 5,000 kids internationally, collaborated with 500 artists, and partnered with 300,000 volunteersin the process, with the consistent sponsorship of corporations, foundations, and individuals.
