IAS Impact
Since IAS began programming in 2018, we have served nearly 3000 children, youth, and their families.
Our programs range from small-scale, individualized programming for smaller groups to large-scale, public art projects created by our community’s youth in partnership with a professional teaching artist.
Art can be a powerful force for learning and expression at every stage of development. We are dedicated to designing and implementing quality programs that reach all children and youth, from ages 1 to 18.
After three years of programming remotely, IAS is set to move into its new permanent facility in 2021. With the opening of this new space, IAS will solidify itself as an institution and serve as a haven for arts education and creative growth.

Additionally, we facilitated over 7700 art making moments and launched a new community initiative, Itsy Studio: In the Community, funded through the generous support of PNC’s Grow Up Great Grant.®
