Mobilizing Artists. Empowering Teachers. Inspiring Students.
Artists for Literacy was born from a fascination of how one form of art can spark the creation of another. Today, we thrive as an organization committed to bridging the gap between books and those who have difficulty reading them. We know that songs, visual art and movies don't replace the reading of literature, but for the 45 million adults in the country that read below a 4th grade level, an introduction to literature through other forms of art is an effective way to inspire and educate.
Since 2001, we have been working with adult and young people. We’re always looking to integrate our ideas into existing programs. Please contact our founder, Deborah Pardes, if you’d like to discuss what’s possible!
