NATIONAL SERVICE FOR CITIZEN-ARTISTS. ArtistYear's mission is to address our Nation's Arts Education Gap by ensuring that every underserved student has arts education through a National Service Arts Corps. We do so by developing, supporting and placing exceptional ArtistYear AmeriCorps Fellows – recent higher-education arts graduates across artistic disciplines including actors, ceramicists, creative writers, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, photographers, and visual artists – as full-time teaching artists at low-income schools. This innovative strategy significantly bolsters arts education for our most vulnerable youth, with all its attendant benefits, while improving student academic and socio-emotional development, enhancing school climate and capacity, benefiting the larger community, and developing a new generation of Citizen-Artists steeped in national service. ArtistYear—an organization born out of the traditions of service, dedication to artistic excellence and expression, and respect, obligation, and empathy towards our fellow citizens—is the first National and State AmeriCorps program for artists to dedicate a year of service to our nation.
