Mission

For 25 years our mission has stayed the same: ensuring Providence youth have equal access to multidisciplinary arts programs, unhindered by socio-economic barriers. Since 1992, ¡CityArts! has offered free in-school, after-school, and summer arts education to thousands of the city’s youth, ages 8 - 14. We believe an arts education is central to youth empowerment, community building, and social change.

CURIOSITY + 
PROBLEM SOLVING

We discover through play, joyful exploration, and deep inquiry. We value perspectives different from our own. We believe in the power of our imaginations.
