The US Department of Education has slashed budgets. Music and art classes are being cut. With your support, our Teaching Artists can go into schools to fill the gap.

For over 45 years Arts Horizons has had the privilege and the joy of making the arts accessible to everyone. Our Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, and STEAM programs include:

  • Teaching residencies and live performances in schools
  • Safe haven initiatives for teens
  • Family engagement workshops
  • Services for seniors in assisted living facilities
  • Programs for children and adults with disabilities
  • Early Education for Pre-K-1st Grade
  • Outreach to children in long-term hospital stays

We serve six counties in New Jersey, all of New York City, and its surrounding counties. For those who have been with us throughout our extraordinary journey, thank you for your continued support. If you’re new to our cause, welcome to a community that uses art as a catalyst for change.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Call Tierney Fitzmartin at (201) 567-1766 ext.111 or email tierney@artshorizons.org

  • Recipient of an Arts Citation of Excellence from the NJ State Council on the Arts and an Arts Education Award from the Theatre Museum of New York.
  • Launched the Special Education Artists Academy, the first ever training for teaching artists serving the autistic population.
  • Collaborated with the St. Barnabas Healthcare System, to provide arts intervention programs to children of families with substance abuse.
