Our Mission

 To empower youth to make Positive and Smart choices while increasing opportunities in the Arts, Education, Community Service, and Bridging Cultures. 

We accomplish this mission through a variety of afterschool programs, mentoring camps, classes, and events that promotes positivity, unity, and excellence in the Arts. We primarily serve students in grades K-12.

Our Activities are Governed by Four Pillars 

These pillars were created to hold up the mission of the organization and keep the organization focused on meeting its core values.​ ​

Positive Art

We believe that art should be inspiring, uplifting, and used to provoke positive behaviors.

Education

We believe that creative and innovative learning is the key to unlocking the minds of students

Community Service

We believe that positive arts should be used in the community to spark hope and positive change.  

Bridging Cultures

We believe that unity between cultures can be bridged through the vehicles of Music and the Arts.

In between these pillars is Love, Compassion and Hope

“In addition to giving our children the science and math skills they need to compete in the new global context, we should also encourage the ability to think creatively that comes from a meaningful arts education.”
