ARTs East New York is committed to presenting and promoting multicultural arts to address socio-economic issues that hinder the growth and development of our community. Our innovative efforts foster entrepreneurs and cultural industries that generate jobs and income, reduce crime and recidivism, heighten the level of education and awareness around healthy and sustainable living, attract tourists to boost local economy and instill pride amongst residents. These initiatives improve livability and encourage economic development outcomes that have the potential to radically change the future of the neighborhood.
