Art for Progress Summer Arts Program
Thanks to a generous grant from the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation, we are pleased to announce the summer arts program is funded for the next 3 years! We are looking forward to an exciting, enriching program for 2022.
We are very pleased to announce, the program will be in person in 2022 (unless NYC changes the current pandemic protocol)! The location is yet to be determined, but it will be a location that is accessible from all 5 NYC boroughs.
Also, the program will expand this year to offer workshops for younger students ages 10-13. Plus, the program which has been for a 4 week period in previous years, will now run 6 weeks. To coincide with NYC's summer school program, the dates are July 5th - August 12th with afternoon sessions beginning at 1:00PM weekdays and some weekend dates as well.
Workshops will be offered in visual arts, music and other art disciplines with special guest teaching artists and weekly speakers.

Art for Progress is pleased to announce a summer music & arts program for NYC high school students. The program is designed for students who are interested in a career in the arts and music.
Workshops in music and visual arts will be offered over four dates between mid-July and mid-August. These 4 hour workshops will include guest speakers, professionals in both the visual arts and music. The guest speakers will share their knowledge, guidance and experience as professionals in the art world.
The main objective of the program is to provide continued instruction over the summer months for students who are considering a future career in the arts. Students can also be graduates who are looking for additional instruction before heading off to college or art school.
The planned student to teacher ratio will be 10-15 students with a total of 40-50 students for each date. Space will be limited, and will be on a first come first serve basis. Students can choose to attend one or more workshops, but we suggest you attend all four. Please sign up as soon as possible to secure your place. The specific dates, location (Manhattan) and times will be available soon.
