The CityArts mission is based on the ideal that all children should have access to arts learning as an essential part of childhood and youth development, regardless of socio-economic background. This event helps support our free creative arts classes in art and design, digital media, music, dance and theatre for over 900 urban, at-risk elementary and middle school youth. These quality arts learning opportunities help youth gain the skills and experiences they need to become successful in school and in life.
