NeON Arts

For more information on current opportunities with NeON Arts, please visit the Department of Probation NeON Arts webpage.

NeON℠ Arts—a free program of the NYC Department of Probation in partnership with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute that was open to the entire city—offered young people in seven New York City communities the chance to explore the arts through a variety of creative projects that helped them establish positive peer relationships and develop important social and career skills. Workshops were hosted at community-based probation offices called Neighborhood Opportunity Networks (NeONs) and other nearby sites.

NeON Arts continues to provide funding to New York City artists and arts organizations to produce programs in partnership with the NeONs, which connect local residents to opportunities, resources, and services in their neighborhoods.
