For over 45 years, Arts Horizons has been recognized as a leader in performing and visual arts education in New York & New Jersey. We are a nonprofit and you keep the momentum going by donating to our Year Campaign! Our mission is to enhance the lives of people of all ages and abilities by creating equitable opportunities to engage in the music, dance, theater, & visual arts. Arts Horizons was founded in 1978 by John Devol, trumpet player, music educator and parent. John played in the orchestra of A Chorus Line for the entire 15-year run of the show and, as he sat in the pit night after night, he realized the importance of bringing quality music to children. He got together with fellow Broadway musicians and formed Festival Brass, a lively, interactive music assembly program that taught students about the brass family of instruments. In 1995 Festival of Music became Arts Horizons, a full-service arts- in-education organization. We bring our work into communities, including schools, community centers, and assisted living facilities.
