Mission: Founded in 1982, City ArtWorks is a non-profit organization devoted to developing the potential of children through art classes and art education. We believe that when you open a child’s world to creative expression through visual art you give them the freedom to explore and interpret the world in a new light. City ArtWorks provides children the opportunity to explore their creativity while also learning about art. Children who are exposed to art classes score higher on standardized tests, are more comfortable problem solving, and generate more alternative approaches to a problem than those without art. Visual art is exciting, messy and fun. At City ArtWorks we believe every child deserves a chance to experience art, and we strive to provide art classes to as many children as we can. The world is a better place with art, and we hope you will join us in our mission to champion positive change throughout the Houston community through art.
