CityArts is a member of Providence Youth Arts Collaborative (PYAC), a partnership of non-profit community-based arts organizations using free arts education as a strategy to empower the youth of Providence.
The purpose of the Collaborative is to improve the effectiveness and build the capacity of our arts education programs through: sharing professional development and learning opportunities,
increasing visibility of community arts programs for youth, and identifying opportunities and financial support for member organizations.
PYAC envisions Providence as a city in which youth are a driving force in a thriving arts and cultural community. There will be a new generation of creative thinkers and leaders who have participated in youth arts programs that exhibit best practices. Partnership among youth arts organizations working together non-competitively in a supportive network will prove to be an effective vehicle toward this vision.
