- Note
- Urban Arts Corps (UAC) was founded in 1967 by Vinnette Carroll, actor and director, who served as the company's premiere artistic director. It began as a pilot project of the Ghetto Arts Program of the New York State Council on the Arts. Carrol established the UAC in response to a request from John B. Hightower, the executive director of the Council. The objectives of the creators was to: provide youth in ghetto areas with direct collaborative experiences with performing artists who shared the youths' social and cultural heritage; aid in the development of work techniques; introduce ghetto youth to materials, organizations and artists that would enhance and improve their self image; stimulate and assist in the development of young artists in disadvantaged areas; and stimulate interest in professional and educational opportunities in the arts.
