Thriving Through the Arts

Arts In Reach inspires teenage girls and gender-expansive youth to be brave, elevate their voices, and create the lives they imagine.

AIR is Accepting and Open

AIR is a youth-centered organization committed to inclusivity and accessibility. Girls and gender-expansive youth ages 11–18 take part in community arts programs led by professional artists. Together, mentors and teens create supportive spaces to take creative risks, build confidence, and express themselves through the arts.

AIR Creates Opportunities

We believe every teen deserves the opportunity to thrive and grow into a confident, self-reliant adult. Our programs are open to all, completely free, and include transportation assistance. Through a variety of art forms, teens build creativity, leadership, and community.
