BRAVE ART NYC

Mission & Vision

To dismantle barriers to equitable arts education by partnering with schools, educators, and communities to create culturally responsive, high-quality arts programs. We believe the arts are a transformative force in education and social justice, and we work to ensure that every child has access to creative expression as a right, not a privilege.

what we do

  • We reimagine how the arts are integrated into education.

  • We work at the systems level, partnering with school leaders, educators, and institutions to create lasting change in arts instruction.

  • We educate school leaders on how to recognize, build, and sustain arts programs that truly serve their students.

  • We provide evaluation frameworks to ensure that arts educators receive the same level of professional support, assessment, and development as other teachers.

  • We provide professional development for educators and school leaders, equipping them with strategies to make arts education more inclusive, impactful, and meaningful.

  • We provide on-line resources and guidance for teachers and leaders including units of study, performance planning templates, and concrete advice on things like setting up a classroom, behavior management and more.
