Mission Statement

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:45:28 +0000

The mission of GSCA is to create unity and connection, especially through the arts, in an inner-city neighborhood with racial and economic diversity. The arts center creates a supportive community and focuses on its youth. The center presents a broad spectrum of arts programs and performances that encourage art as a natural tool of expression available to everyone. By restoring historic St. Anthony’s church as its home, the arts center creates and nurtures a link with the unique living history of the local community.

YO!

YO! seeks to provide people in the neighborhood with increased access to fresh, locally grown vegetables; provide meaningful and valuable experiences for young people, and connect youth to their local environment. We do this through maintaining our gardens, demonstrating food growing techniques in small growing areas, and providing skills and empowerment training for young people in the neighborhood.

Want to know more about us? Like to see our building? Learn about our programs?

You are invited to Grand Beginnings: a free, one-hour, no obligation introduction to Grand Street Community Arts! It happens every month on the first Thursday of the month. We start at St. Anthony’s on Grand Street at Madison Avenue at 8 a.m. for a brief tour of the building and then move around the corner to 20 Elm Street for coffee and a light breakfast with a lively presentation of our history, our programs, our projects and our dreams.

We promise to have you on your way by 9 a.m. and all we ask is that you tell us what you think, ask lots of questions & make suggestions. If you find you want to get involved, we’d love to have you!
