Who We Are
Beliefs
Art for Life’s Sake believes that every child is creative and talented and should be nurtured in an environment that promotes the arts, talent development and expression for an enriched childhood and productive future.
Mission
Many urban children, especially those of color, have limited access and exposure to the arts. The mission of Art for Life’s Sake is to create opportunities for under-served and under-represented children to have access to the arts.
Goals
Art for Life’s Sake seeks to:
- Help students strengthen self-esteem and build friendships through on-going individual, partner and group activities;
- Enrich each participant’s personal, social and career skills;
- Enable students to develop musical knowledge and skills for entry into local string orchestras and symphonies;
- Strengthen personal and cross-cultural understandings by studying multicultural literature and art forms, engaging in creative writing, and creating art projects;
- Create a platform for community gatherings through recitals, concerts, productions and other arts-based presentations in the community
