A new partnership aims to bring the arts to residents of settlement houses.
The urban arts agenda joins Young Audiences of Rochester, which brings teaching artists to the classroom, and Settlement Houses of Rochester Foundation.
It's called the Urban Arts Education Alliance. 
Young Audiences CEO Lydia Boddie-Rice says they want to place creativity at the core of teaching and learning.
"Specifically to reach at risk pre-schoolers, our youth and also our seniors. So combining we're stronger together. We can serve more at risk," she said.
Boddie-Rice says they brought in teaching artist Delores Jackson Radney for an interactive arts experience with children at the Alvin Wesley Child Development Center on North Clinton Avenue.
She says the alliance helps them achieve their quest of bringing quality arts learning and literacy to children and youth, and grow intergenerational arts experiences with older adults.
Chair of the Settlement Houses Foundation of Rochester, Jeff Clark, says the partnership brings the talents of our local artists into the lives of those in need of inspiration.
"Young Audiences and the settlement houses have conspired to enlarge the life experience of all who seek a better day," he said.
