Urban Arts Partnership is a nonprofit organization that uses digital game design as a pathway to higher education and careers for students. The program blends the art and technology of game development, drawing on computer science, coding, animation, music, and storytelling. It provides college-access services and helps students earn scholarships, totaling $46 million to date. The organization connects students and alumni with mentorships and internships at leading media and technology companies, building a diverse talent pipeline for the industry. Based in New York City, Urban Arts operates as a mid-sized nonprofit focused on education and arts within the local ecosystem. A notable recent development is a 2025 collaboration with IMAKEMADBEATS and Google to design and build a state-of-the-art sound studio at Urban Arts' Game Academy in New York City.
