Usdan provides young artists with the opportunity to joyfully express themselves through their creativity. Each summer, we welcome a diverse community of children and teens to Usdan's stunning campus in the woods. In partnership with world-class artists and talented educators, students at all levels and from all backgrounds explore paths of individual and artistic growth. Here we emphasize that developing skills and discovering the creative process is as fulfilling as showcasing artistic achievement. Our inclusive community is guided by the Jewish values upon which we were founded over a half century ago. Usdan serves the youth of New York City and Long Island, though the impact of our alumni extends far beyond our region. Ultimately, we hope to instill in young people a desire and drive to contribute creatively to the world for the rest of their lives.
