ARTS A Reason To Survive

Transforming Kids' Lives Through Arts Programs

Welcome to ARTS. We are committed to ensuring that every child that comes through our program is positively impacted through the arts and has the chance for a brighter future. Whether it is a one-time bedside visit at Children’s Hospital or a 10-year relationship – beginning at a homeless shelter, continuing through college and securing a job in the creative industries – both are extremely important and valuable for the child and their families.

Please browse through our web site to learn more about the children we help, the programs we provide, and the events we hold. Visit our Volunteer and Ways to Give pages to find out how you can make a difference in the life of a child.
