Our Mission

Our mission is to establish artistic and economic outlets in impoverished areas by providing free and low cost quality art programs for children, adults and seniors. Our goal is to build self-esteem, confidence, racial equity and employment through artistic mediums and to give clients beneficial support tools to use in their future and in the community at large.
“Action… Art...Allowing the Spirit to Create”.
