Since 1989, CITYarts has been promoting a comprehensive method of artistic self-empowerment. By thinking globally and acting locally, CITYarts has created and produced over 350 projects which have transformed communities and impacted over 100,000 youth. In the process, we have collaborated with more than 600 artists, partnered with over 1,500 sponsors, and engaged over 500,000 volunteers. Moreover, since 9/11 we have been connecting youth locally and globally through art workshops under our Young Minds Build Bridges program to encourage forming modes of cultural understanding at crucial moments in youth learning that have led to collaborations with schools and partners internationally to produce Pieces for Peace workshops in 113 countries and the creation of 7 Peace Wall murals and mosaic around the world. Funds raised at the Gala will support CITYarts public art initiatives, giving youth a voice to express themselves on issues that are important to their lives.
