What is 901 Arts?
901 Arts is a community‐based youth arts center dedicated to providing art and
music programs to the children and teens of the Better Waverly neighborhood.
901 Arts provides a safe, creative, and empowering space for Better Waverly
Youth to express themselves and develop as artists and community leaders. The
art center is an integral part of our community’s ongoing efforts to build a safer,
stronger and more vibrant neighborhood.
Working at 901 Arts has allowed me to learn so much about Better
Waverly and its people, and for that I am incredibly thankful. The
more I realized how central the center is to some of the families in
the neighborhood, the harder I worked to ensure the programming
would be as fun as possible for the kids. It was rewarding to see
some of the campers playing games I had taught them after camp
had ended, knowing that I had made a meaningful contribution by
giving them a more enjoyable summer.
