Art Start
Art Start nurtures the voices, hearts and minds of New York City's underserved youth through consistent creative workshops inside homeless shelters, alternatives to incarceration programs and partnering youth agencies. A portion of each Photo Bag sale will go directly to the organization's "Emerging Artist Program." This program supports NYC emerging artists between the ages of 13 - 21 who have exhibited exceptional artistic talent, but lack the resources and support to turn that talent into opportunities for their future. Funds raised will go towards youth Metrocards, stipends, coursework as well as supplies and equipment necessary for the young artists to succeed.
