What is ArtBiz?

ArtBiz is a series of free classes for Newburgh youth, ages 13-18 focusing on providing exposure to career paths and career opportunities in arts and culture. Classes span a variety of interests including visual arts, performance, digital arts, writing and hand-crafts, as well as other forms of cultural production such as gardening and culinary arts.

ArtBiz will be taught by Newburgh artists, makers, and other creative professionals.

The Goal of ArtBiz
