Arts Education
Impact Culture NYC is dedicated to building and developing children’s artistic potential, skills, talent, and confidence via arts education, live showcases and competitions. We have become the recognized community leader in putting new faces and world-class acts in front of stages and screens where the doors have been traditionally closed.
We believe that art and culture foster a safe space during turbulent times, creating possibilities to thrive.
We believe that purposeful and impactful engagement with the larger world starts within ourselves.
Our growth is a testament that our work has been a gift, as we coach the next generation of talent, whose work and art will no doubt transform the lives they touch.
