With these grants and donations we are able to provide art educational programs for economically disadvantaged and at-risk youth to build a strong foundation for future success.  These programs expose our youth to art and creative expression that they would have not been able to experience due to the limited art programs in public schools. This gives them the opportunity to express themselves in a different, more positive light.

Research strongly suggests that young people who learn about and participate in the arts acquire skills that help them in decision making, problem solving, creative thinking, and teamwork. An increasing number of studies also find that arts programs motivate children to learn, assisting in improving performance in core academic subjects. For some children, the arts provide the impetus to stay in school until graduation and, for others, the inspiration to pursue college education.
