Doing Art Together Information

The mission of Doing Art Together (DAT) is to awaken and enrich the intellectual, social, and cultural development of under-resourced New York City youth, inspiring them to pursue their learning. We accomplish this by engaging youth in the visual arts, igniting the participation of their family network, and building enduring partnerships with their educational community. Vision DAT aims to offer high quality arts education programs that level the educational playing field for children and youth (ages 2-22), who come from under-resourced communities. We use art as an entry point for learning for the participants and a tool for engagement for parents and families to get involved in their children’s education. We hope through our work that art will open minds, enrich lives and ultimately transform communities.
