"Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities introduced its Free Arts program in early 2018 to provide youth in challenging circumstances a safe place for expression and self-discovery.

With the support of caring adult volunteers and partner sites, we work alongside youth while engaging in art projects. Providing these safe, supportive and consistent experiences enables participants to build trusting and positive relationships that can have a life-changing impact.

Through the Free Arts program, Big Brothers Big Sisters engages more than 1,000 under-served youth with the unique combination of mentoring and the arts. We will elevate the importance of creativity to drive learning. And we will expand arts programming to neighborhoods that would not otherwise have access!

The Free Arts program was previously offered by Free Arts Minnesota."
