Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Formed as an education organization to benefit the public interest by conducting educational activities that help combat community deterioration, prejudice and discrimination. The organization will fulfill its purpose by bringing educational activities into schools, prisons, and community institutions. This includes developing and creating projects to build leadership, facilitate conversation, and address human rights issues impacting youth and community members.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
This past year, in a recurring partnership with Urban Assembly (UAMA), ARTE engaged high school students in a human rights programming using an arts-based curriculum to foster learning, civic engagement, and self-expression. The program provides participants with an opportunity to learn about various human rights issues-including racial discrimination, the right to housing and transportation, and climate justice-basic art techniques, and create meaningful pieces of art to advocate for positive social change. After pivoting to a digital platform for the fall and spring semesters, student artists have been able to harness their talents to further express themselves creatively, build collective leadership, and learn how to engage other members of the UAMA around the issues that are most important to them.$0$25,000
"ARTE partnered with Columbia University's Justice-in-Education Initiative (JIE) to engage incarcerated adolescent men and women in visual arts programming. The program focused on women's rights, gender equality, and toxic masculinity. With the COVID-19 pandemic necessitating the shutdown of in-person events and programs, ARTE transitioned to a remote version of the partnership.For the last year, ARTE and JIE have worked together to create educational worksheets on artist activists. These worksheets, each of which focuses on an artist who creates work through a social justice or human rights lens, are sent to jail facilities on a weekly basis. They include artist biographies and interviews, an art gallery, and art and writing activities. In April, ARTE and JIE spearheaded a pilot art kit initiative. These collaborative art kits included six worksheets, colored pencils, and drawing paper, and 50 were sent to individuals incarcerated at the Otis Bantum Correctional Center"$0$5,000
"At the start of the pandemic, ARTE quickly developed a series of digital workshops to ensure that young people and their communities still had access to arts-based programming during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of our first workshops during the pandemic was our Digital Disruption Series, which focused on using creative thinking to build and sustain community. During these multigenerational workshops, youth and their family members were encouraged to explore social justice and human rights issues through the creation of zines, drawings, or greeting cards using materials found around their houses."$0$5,000

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/FormAndLineReferenceDesc0Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16
ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0The organization lost 2 very important consultants in 2020 which caused our small organization to struggle with administrative tasks including getting the information needed to complete the tax forms for the year. We received late payments during the year and were focused on trying to maintain the organization's financial stability over filing taxes. COVID-19 limited our ability to continue to provide direct services to our constituents and to financially support our employees. Please take this into consideration when determining the penalties. We have retained someone who will assist in keeping our financial records in tact and have already begun preparing for the 2021 tax year filing. We will also be shifting our tax year to more accurately reflect our work and to provide us with adequate time to prepare everything for filing. A penalty of this kind is a significant percentage of our total budget, and it would have a negative impact on our ability to carry out programming going forward.
