IAC and the Central Islip Civics Council, along with the Suffolk County Youth Bureau present work from over 200 young artists attending the Central Islip School District.

The Youth Empowerment Art Project encourages students to paint a self portrait and then create a poem which features “I am” statements to accompany their artwork. The program began in 2017 as a way for students to express themselves in positive ways.
