Mission:
We exist to give kids beauty in their lives if they have none, through the vehicle of art. We define beauty as mentorship, community, free expression, creativity, food, friendship, fun, access to art and education in the arts.
Vision:
We will give kids beauty in their lives if they have none by offering free to them art classes in the 18 residential zip codes in Roanoke County and City, doing our best to eliminate barriers like transportation, supplies, and funding for education by 2030.
Goals:
1. To build a safe and inclusive youth-based arts community with monthly classes and events held in every zip code in Roanoke and surrounding areas.
2. To eliminate barriers to artistic participation (educational, financial, logistical) to ensure equitable access to the arts for all young people.
3. To inspire artistic expression with teachers and supplies readily available.
4. To foster relationships by giving space for friendship, mentorship and art-based fun.
