Creative Art Works (CAW) is a 32-year-old nonprofit that empowers NYC young people through the visual and multimedia arts. Our programs equip children, teens, and young adults with essential tools and skills; connect them with community, academic success, and career opportunities; and inspire them to reach for new possibilities. Our in-school and out-of-school time classes, public art youth employment programs, and community art-making events are provided locally in partnership with public schools, recreation and cultural centers, juvenile detention centers, parks, and libraries. Students are never charged for participation.
