Evolving Arts of America encourages youth ages 10-17 to develop their creative potentials through the arts. We provide an environment in which children can feel free to imagine, create, and welcome the arts into their lives. Evolving Arts provides a professional work environment that is challenging, rewarding, creative and respectful of ideas of individuals. We want to inspire pro social friendships, strong interpersonal skills and instill a sense of hope in the future. We at Evolving Arts would also like to empower youth and individuals to establish goals in life and also follow through on commitments. Most of all, we want to surround youths in a caring inclusive learning environment in the arts.

Evolving Arts of America founded in 2014 with a vision and goal to empower young people to break habits that lead to trouble in school and in the streets and giving them the opportunities available each of our programs consists of teaching academic understanding of the arts before engaging in hands on experience. We challenge the creativity of students in the arts through five mentoring programs Art, Music, Fashion, Dance and Film. Students also work with a mentor to broaden their minds, enjoy different activities and develop a positive attitude towards their future in the arts.
