No Star Is Without Arts ™

The No Star Is Without Arts™ program was created to demonstrate how art is incorporated into everyday life. With social media on the rise, our youth are constantly in a virtual reality where they compare their lives to others and aspire to be like the celebrities. This program is structured using the National Visual Art Standards to provide quality arts education while making connections to current trends and events. We also integrate core curriculum into each lesson, assisting student achievement and overall academic success. Our teaching artists meet the child where they are in their development level and adapt the lessons accordingly to ensure engagement and retention. We encourage student voice as well so that each experience is a collaborative effort. Upon completion, each child will understand that you cannot spell star without arts, hence you cannot be a star without the Arts!
This program takes place during the academic day and adapts to your current schedule. We provide education ranging from one week to full year arts enrichment! Courses we provide are; Visual Arts, Music (Vocal), and Drama. Contact us today for more information on bringing the No Star Is Without Arts™ program to your school!
Unchained Arts ™

The Unchained Arts™ program is designed to bring arts enrichment to returning citizens in an attempt to reduce recidivism. Unchained Arts™ allows participants an avenue in coping with barriers such as unemployment, mental illness and substance abuse in healthy and
safe ways. We not only assist in the technical aspect of producing art, but we also explore the idea
of art as a career / income source. Participating artists showcase their work in an end of the
program culminating event in which guests can both view and purchase their artwork.
Similar to our work with at-risk youth, the Unchained Arts™ program gives returning citizens an
alternative to engaging in former lifestyle choices by enriching their lives through art. With art as
a means of self-expression, it has also been proven to build self-esteem, yielding citizens who
take pride in themselves and their community. The program integrates the Elements of Art and Principles of Design into practical application and/or personal experience. The structure is progressive, allowing the experienced artist a chance to refresh while the amateur gains an introduction.
