Artportunity Knocks...The Beginning
Artportunity Knocks was started in a small two-bedroom apartment by two students from the neighborhood who had an interest in keeping the arts positive. The founders hosted bible studies and then music and art sessions, using their own resources, time, money, food and energy. Six short months later, after trying to fit almost 40 kids in their small apartment, they realized that what they had was fulfilling a need in the community and in 2007, Artportunity Knocks was born. |
... And Today Over 4000 Students and Families have been served!
Full Steam ahead....
2017 - THE YEAR OF THE STEAM INITIATIVE!
Artportunity Knocks is a fully explored STEAM Education organization, where students connect with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math in our core programs and classes.
The STEAM Education platform includes “A” for the Arts, which recognizes that to be successful in technical fields, individuals must also be creative and use critical thinking skills that are best developed through exposure to the arts.
