The Creative Arts at Fortune is more than a program — we are a community.

We align with radical hope and believe in the healing and transformative powers of imagination and creativity. 

Since the organization’s inception more than half a century ago, Fortune has been committed to using the restorative capacities of art and art making to call for an end to mass incarceration in the United States, promote alternatives to incarceration, support successful reentry and help to realize possibilities for more just collective futures.

​

Workshops are offered five days a week in Music, Creative Writing, Acting, Drawing and more. All levels of experience are embraced. We share opportunities to perform and amplify work - on screen, canvas, the page or in direct collaboration with other artists and community partners throughout New York City and across the country.
