The Joan Mitchell Foundation is committed to education. After 20 years of providing direct arts education programming to grades K-12 and young adults, the Foundation will spend 2016-2018 focusing on research and piloting innovative educational opportunities for the artist community.
In the interim they have compiled a list with information on various free and and low cost arts-based organizations and institutions in New York City that offer programming for young people. These programs are diverse and offer opportunities in visual and performing arts for all ages, and also focus on portfolio and career development.
