Our Mission To improve the lives of disadvantaged and disabled youth by providing them with sustainable skills and a sense of accomplishment as they actively contribute—through the creation of art—to the amount of funds available for their education and development.
Our Philosophy Our most immediate aims are to expose the children with whom we work to the therapeutic and creative potential of art and to teach them the value of “earning their keep” by creating artworks that inspire individuals to make donations that will fund their education. But the ultimate goal is to expand the children’s academic and social horizons, increase their chances to obtain stable employment in the future, and give them a newfound sense of confidence in their ability to realize their life dreams.
