About Us
Yonkers Arts was founded in 2007 by a collection of community leaders who perceived the need for an all-encompassing arts organization for a city the size of Yonkers. We are the only minority-led non-profit organization in the Carpet Mills Arts District.
The Yonkers Arts Project Space spans approximately 4,000 square feet; featuring a fine art gallery that hosts six exhibitions annually, and a performing arts space. We strive to inspire and empower individuals of all ages and backgrounds to engage with the arts, to appreciate their transformative power, and to use them as a vehicle for positive change in our community and beyond.
