The Center For Arts Education

Amid Manhattan’s vertical advertising towers, a non-profit keeps creativity visible where students pass daily. The Center For Arts Education turns sidewalks into studios by offering classes in dance, vocal music, and digital media for K-12 pupils. Theater workshops and portfolio development share space with faculty who treat Midtown corridors as their classroom walls.

Find the hub at 266 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018, squeezed between garment lofts and bus stop awnings. Subway riders exit Penn Station only a block north, while tourists heading toward Herald Square cut across 37th without noticing the brick stoop marked simply 266. Inside, the doorbell buzzes once your student’s name appears on the roster.

Schedule lessons and recitals by dialing (212) 971-3300 during office hours, or pull a map before an early evening walk home.
