The ARTS Office is pleased to provide NYC Public Schools with the Arts and Cultural Education Services (ACES) Guide. The ACES Guide is designed to help school leaders, teachers, and families learn about the variety of education programs offered by NYC's rich arts and cultural community. Review the guide to access a searchable listing of hundreds of organizations and their programming in the areas of dance, music, theater, visual arts, film, and general cultural experiences
The ACES Guide features only NYCDOE-registered vendors and highlights organizations who have secured citywide NYCDOE contracts for Arts Education Services. The ACES Guide offers an ever-growing list of arts and cultural education programs in NYC.
Eligible organizations must provide arts and cultural education programming to NYC public schools and be currently registered as a vendor with the NYC Department of Education. Organizations are especially encouraged to provide details around high-need, high-priority programming areas, including:
- Arts supports for students with disabilities
- Arts supports for Multilingual Learners
- Summer arts programming opportunities
- Internship opportunities for public school students
All submissions will be reviewed with approval granted at the ARTS Office’s discretion. Organizations will be contacted if any additional information is required. Please note: the ACES Guide is generally updated two times a year. To be included in an update period, you must submit complete information before the update period begins.
