Artists Reaching Out @ Columbia University

We are a volunteer program that brings arts education to students who have limited opportunities for enrichment in the arts.


Join the Community

We currently serve the Morningside Heights/Harlem community, teaching art to students from pre-school to middle school. We foster positive mentoring relationships and cultivate young talent in the areas of drama, music, visual art, creative writing, and dance. We also seek to bring together a community of Columbia students who are passionate about education, art, and everything in between, as well as to foster awareness about diversity and inclusion in the arts, both inside and outside of the classroom.

There is no need to be an artist or to have teaching experience in order to join us.

Everyone is welcome!
