ART YARD BKLYN (AYB) is a not-for-profit arts organization that provides contemporary visual art education for underserved and often marginalized people of all ages via dedicated classes and K-12 school partnerships. Participants are supported, mentored and given opportunities as artists and teachers.

We believe that art as a holistic endeavor allows us to delve into any topic imaginable. The practice of learning, creating, thinking, and discussing art nourishes body, mind, heart, and spirit. AYB builds and strengthens community through art, fostering a sense of civic responsibility and awareness of social justice, and creating a safe haven where everyone is treated with kindness and respect.

AYB programs take place in our studio at Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC), Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY; in the field, in our partnership schools; and virtually through Zoom.

Your dollars will go to directly supporting ART YARD BKLYN (AYB) Advanced Studio free art making classes open to people of all ages and ART YARD Art Matters School Partnerships.

AYB Advanced Studio and AYB Summer Session are free programs open to the public in which we explore timely, thought-provoking, and challenging ideas. Looking at artists’ intent, working methods, material use, or radical innovations, AYB Advanced Studio fosters open dialogue as a catalyst for learning.

ART YARD Art Matters school partnerships includes in school artists residencies with thematic hands-on art making sessions, and exhibitions in on-site art galleries at the partner school, where the students act as curators, publicists, installers, and exhibition docents giving tours to fellow students, teachers, families, public officials, and invited guests.
