A Commitment to Fostering Equity

About

The Unframed Arts Collective

The Unframed Arts Collective is a community-driven organization born from a shared desire to support those facing financial and housing challenges in New York. What began as a small initiative focused on art and conversation has grown into a vital resource, offering both creative spaces and practical support. Our collective is made up of volunteers and community members working together to create a safe, inclusive environment where individuals can find connection, healing, and empowerment through art and mutual support.

In our programs, we provide free access to materials, workshops, a community library, and support services. We empower participants to express themselves, discover their passions, and connect with others.

Volunteer Spotlights

Our volunteers create a supportive space where art, connection, and self-expression empower individuals experiencing housing insecurity.

The arts give the voiceless a voice through self expression, and establishes autonomy, intellectual liberty, and existence.
