What we do
ArtSup?! is a creative after school extended learning opportunity for inner city youth in the community. ArtSup?! seeks to promote self-esteem and life skills through students working side by side with professional artists and programming that encourages strong character and leadership. In addition, as hunger and food insecurity are issues in the community we serve, we also provide a meal each day of the program. ArtSup?! is FREE for participants.
Art is not just a creative outlet; it’s a powerful tool for expression, communication, and connection. It transcends borders, breaks barriers, and bridges gaps.
For teens, especially those from underserved communities, art can be a lifeline - a means to convey their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, supportive enviornment.
ArtSup?! believes in the transformative power of art. Professional art instruction not only helps to enhance skills, it gives teens a means to express themselves, cope with their challenges, and connect with the world in a more meaningful way.
