Urban Arts designs and implements educational programs rooted in the arts and technology for underrepresented students. Because a quality education shouldn’t depend on a child’s zip code.
We teach underrepresented students the art and technology of game development through computer science, coding, animation, music, and storytelling. We provide private-school level college-access services and ensure our students earn the maximum in scholarships. We connect our alumni to mentorship and internship opportunities at leading media and technology companies, generating a new and diverse talent pipeline.
At Urban Arts, we are committed to helping Title 1 public school students explore their creativity and harness technology to defy the odds and define their future. We have an unprecedented opportunity to create pathways for our talented students to both flourish in their education and personal passions as well as creating a more diverse and equitable economy for lifelong success.
