Mission

ARTs East New York Inc. (AENY) is committed to promoting multi-disciplinary arts as a means of addressing socio-economic issues facing East New York, Brooklyn. Our innovative efforts foster entrepreneurs and industries that support the local economy, reduce crime and recidivism, heighten awareness around healthy living, and instill community pride. Our cultural initiatives improve livability and encourage economic development outcomes that empower current members of the community and set a path for sustainable neighborhood growth.

What We Do

Our programming includes hosting monthly town halls, weekly classes for the community, our summer concert series (aka Summer Saturdaze), our holiday event (aka ARTsplosion), and many more. We also host Saturday classes for kids ages 6 to 12, and have a weekly arts program for teens during the Spring and Fall sessions. We also have further arts development for children and teenagers during our Summer seasons. We will be soon revealing our biggest project--[re]New Lots which will be an artist and entrepreneurship incubator.
