New Urban Arts

A nationally recognized interdisciplinary arts studio for high school students and emerging artists in Providence, Rhode Island.

Our mission is to build a vital community that empowers young people to develop a creative practice they can sustain throughout their lives. We provide studio, exhibition space, and mentoring for young artists who explore the visual, performing, and literary arts through yearlong free out-of-school programs. Founded in 1997, New Urban Arts serves 150 high school students in the Providence Public High Schools and 20 artists each year. In 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama presented New Urban Arts with a Coming Up Taller award, the nation's highest honor for the field of out-of-school time arts and humanities programs, particularly those that reach underserved children and youth.
