About Art Horizons:
Arts Horizons transforms children's lives through the power of the arts. Founded 30 years ago, it is one of the largest professional arts-in-education organizations serving schools and communities in the tri-state metropolitan area. Every year over 300,000 children, including inner city youth-at-risk and children with special needs, experience the joy and vitality of the arts through an Arts Horizons program, often for the first time. Our professional musicians, artists, dancers and actors provide students with new ways of learning that encourage creativity, enhance literacy skills, improve self-esteem and help them to succeed in school and life.
In June 2008, Arts Horizons opened its newest venture, the LeRoy Neiman Art Center, which was made possible through the generosity of famed artist LeRoy Neiman. Located in Harlem, the Center enables children of all ages to participate in in-depth arts experiences beyond the classroom.
