About New Urban Arts

At New Urban Arts, we strive to provide an environment where young people and their mentors can work together to explore and develop creative practices. We believe this collaboration not only encourages imagination but also helps young people become active and engaged members of their community. We offer a range of youth programs that are free of charge, with access to snacks, bus passes, tutoring, and homework help. Our programs are supported by our partners, including The Providence Public Schools, the Rhode Island College School of Social Work, and the College Planning Center of Rhode Island. Our goal is to help young people to reach their full potential and become engaged and active members of their community. We believe that collaboration between mentors and young people helps to foster creativity and imagination that will help them to achieve their goals.

Programs

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

School Year Programs

Youth Mentorship in the Arts partners about 20 Artist Mentors with small groups of high school students to develop powerful mentoring relationships through our free yearlong after-school program (October–May). Together, they foster risk-taking and self-discovery through community building and creative arts projects designed collaboratively by Artist Mentors and youth, across a range of arts disciplines, from painting to drawing, graphic design to photography, fashion to filmmaking. Mentoring relationships at New Urban Arts emphasize collaboration and youth agency and, as a result, enrich the creative practices of both youth and mentors. Studio Study Buddies are also available to tutor students individually in math, science, and writing as part of the Youth Mentorship Program.

Summer Programs

The Summer Art Internships are a suite of summer enrichment programs that are designed to be accessible to low-income high school students. Students are offered a $400 participation stipend upon successful completion of the program, which combines best practices in art education, youth development, and summer learning. Two programs are consistently offered every summer, The Summer Art Inquiry, and The Entitlement Program. Additional Summer Art Internships are offered as available.
