ARTS- A Reason to Survive

Check us out on Twitter


ARTS is dedicated to healing, inspiring and empowering children facing life challenges by providing innovative arts-based programs, education and employment opportunities. For the past 10 years, ARTS is the only organization in San Diego providing comprehensive arts education, skill building and jobs targeting disadvantaged youth in all areas of art. The Pat D'Arrigo ARTS Center in the NTC Promenade at Liberty Station provides 7000 square feet of creative space and is home to our Music, Visual Art, Ceramic Studio, Media Arts, Dance/Theatre Departments and the ARTS Gallery. It also serves as our base for our community outreach and Van Go Transportation program. By providing safe, transportation to and from the ARTS Center from partner sites as well to cultural events throughout San Diego, we hope to make art, music and education accessible to all youth in crisis.
