Dear Friends,

The world is brimming with young minds—bold, creative, and ready to make a difference. But to shape their future, they need opportunities to express their voices, expand their imaginations, and take action. That’s where CITYarts comes in.

We don’t just create murals, mosaics, and sculptures—we ignite transformation. Through hands-on art projects, we empower youth to collaborate with artists who turn their visions into reality, giving them a seat at the table and a voice in their communities. Our projects connect youth across cultures, proving that creativity is a universal language that builds bridges, fosters understanding, and strengthens leadership.

Every brushstroke, every piece of a mosaic, every line drawn is a step toward a brighter, more united world. And behind every CITYarts project stands a powerful network—artists, educators, volunteers, sponsors, and community leaders—who believe in the potential of our youth.

For 35 years, I’ve witnessed an undeniable truth: When kids create, they don’t destroy—they inspire us all. They transform blank walls into beacons of hope, neglected spaces into vibrant landmarks, and their own futures into new possibilities. We'll prove it again in CITYarts 50 States of Peace initiative.

But they can’t do it alone. Join us. Invest in their imagination. Dare to make a difference. Because together, we’re not just creating art—we’re shaping the compassionate leaders of tomorrow. And you will feel the Joy of giving right back!

With gratitude and hope,
