Working Playground, Inc. was founded in 1991 to bring the arts into New York City classrooms with the belief that art is essential to human development, education and culture. Our purpose is to support schools and communities that are lacking the opportunity and resources to study an art form. Our teaching artists use their professional experience in the arts to inspire, enliven, and enrich students' educational experiences. As we listen and learn from today's youths we are finding that the Media programs we offer have particular resonance to young people's lives.

Working Playground teaching artists are hired on a part-time basis and paid an hourly rate between $50-$65 depending on experience and type of program being taught.
