Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

CAWs mission is to improve the lives of New York City youth through the visual and multimedia arts. CAW serves thousands of young people each year through in-school and out-of-school-time classes, community art-making events, and public art youth employment programs.

  • In FY23, Creative Art Works offered 263 Youth Apprenticeships in its Public Art Youth Employment programs. Youth Apprentices (YAs) from the five boroughs of NYC, aged 16-24, were given part-time jobs after-school and/or full-time during the summer, and worked under the guidance of CAW teaching artists and program management staff. All YAs developed tangible creative skills, employment skills, and life skills such as leadership, teamwork, the power of taking initiative, and responsibility. Projects from CAWs summer season included six large-scale public artworks in very visible locations and a multimedia oral history and gallery installation focused on East Harlem. During the academic year, 103 youth were engaged in collaboration with five NYC Career and Technical Education public high schools through a 14-week character design apprenticeship sponsored by international game-design company FunPlus,(Continue to Schedule O - 06.a General Explanation attachment)
