Free Arts

Dear Free Arts Families, Friends and Supporters:



Right now is one of the toughest times in our country's history; as we continue to battle a deadly pandemic and the resulting economic distress while, once again, coming face-to-face with the long-term effects of racial injustice. Watching many partake in protests to speak out against inhumanity is, on one hand, inspiring for the dedication it represents and, on the other, heartbreaking for its profound need.



These times serve as a reminder of the challenges faced by Free Arts children and families- the urgency of our mission to empower children from underserved communities through art and mentorship, creating hope, resiliency and self-esteem.



We at Free Arts are committed to the future- we intend to survive and grow through this time. We will continue to use art as a vehicle for community, change and freedom. Let's use our platform and collective gifts to tell our stories louder than ever, and to create a much more just world.



What remains, however, are the indelible images of George Floyd and the many who came before him. It is in their name and the children&families we serve that we embrace the fight for equality and justice as a common cause, one we all fight together - solve together.



We stand in solidarity!



We stand for equality!



We stand together for change!
