Arts Council of Greater New Haven is a non-profit arts organization located in New Haven, Connecticut.[1]

History[edit]

The Arts Council of Greater New Haven or Arts Council, was founded as a place both to promote and enrich skills pertaining to the arts for all groups of people. There is also an aspect of building a community and maintaining culture by honoring and supporting local artists that the organization was founded on.[2]

The Arts Council has a free, daily publication called The Arts Paper.[3] It focuses on all topics pertaining to culture and the arts within the Greater New Haven area.

Location[edit]

The office is located in the Whitney-Audubon Arts District[4] of New Haven at 70 Audubon Street.[5] Vincent C. Amore, an American architect and resident to Connecticut, designed the five-story steel-framed building with a Modernist style in 1989.[6]

Description[edit]

The Arts Paper seeks to celebrate, explore and interrogate the fine, visual, performing and culinary arts. Also the publication offers readers information to and insight on local events such as concerts, recitals, art exhibits, academic projects, etc. The coverage reaches Bethany, Branford, Cheshire, East Haven, Guilford, Hamden, Madison, Meriden, Milford, North Haven, Orange, Wallingford, West Haven and Woodbridge.[7]

During the school year the organization teaches and assists local youth, ages 14-17, in writing techniques and provided a safe after-school recreation program, called Youth Arts Journalism Initiative or simply, YAJI.[8] The purpose of YAJI is to give talented prospects, in the field of journalism specifically, an opportunity that may not be readily available otherwise. This initiative is successful because it allows the student to gain experience, participate and engage as a true beat journalist.
