Jubilee Arts partners with Baltimore Clayworks and the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) as well as local artists to provide classes in a variety of visual and performing arts, showcase art exhibits, host forums, facilitate public community art projects and events.

Jubilee Arts is a program of the community based nonprofit Newborn Holistic Ministries, which addresses poverty related challenges in Baltimore's Sandtown-Winchester and Upton communities. Newborn has responded with a mission to preserve and enrich life in these communities by providing services that enable residents to meet their material, social, and spiritual needs through its Jubilee Arts and Martha's Place programs.
