Questions

Our Mission

Creating art is fun, but what do our children really learn from making art?
Do you remember the first time you received a compliment? How about the first time an adult told you that you were special? Do you remember when you were complimented on a task that revealed your own uniqueness? Art opens doors to confidence and success. Art isn’t a luxury, it’s one of the building blocks that help children find their path to creativity, success, and independence. Studies show that art is a necessity for children!

Awards

Participating young artists learn about creative entrepreneurship and life as professional artists. There are $250 cash awards for each show.
