Statement Arts is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing the creative visual & performing arts to underserved and/or low-income individuals. We channel creativity to educate, to enhance intellectual performance, to empower and guide, and to build self-esteem. Statement Arts is committed to giving our students an intercultural and interdisciplinary arts experience to which they do not have access. Statement Arts believes in the power of art to inspire social, cultural, and environmental education to further a legacy of responsible global citizenship.

Statement Arts was conceived at the High School of Environmental Studies (HSES), an underserved public school in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen. Inspiration for Statement Arts stems from the success of the ongoing Project: Urban Arts. Started in 2003, Urban Arts, is an art enrichment program whose goal is to supplement arts education in the New York City public school system.
