About Us
Mission: 

Urban Arts Partnership (UAP) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance the intellectual, social and artistic development of students through arts-integrated, tech-enhanced education programs that close the achievement gap.

Programs: 

We believe integrating the arts in every classroom disrupts the status quo in public schools, engages students and boosts academic outcomes. Because a quality education shouldn’t depend on a child’s zip code.

We design and implement innovative educational programs rooted in the arts. Think learning English through storytelling, fractions through music, coding through game design, or socialization skills through role play.
