Mission Statement
Access Art is a youth-focused community arts organization that inspires personal success by providing a safe space for hands-on learning in a variety of artistic media combined with civic engagement and leadership development.
Description
Access Art delivers a youth-centered after school program to address the artistic, emotional, and cognitive development of middle and high school participants. We achieve these goals by providing students with a safe space to create, positive adult role models, empowering activities, leadership development, and alternatives to violence and high risk behavior. Since its inception, thousands of youth have gained comprehensive knowledge and skills through the creative process and our arts-based programming aimed at giving participants not only tools like paintbrushes and cameras, but tools to help them in their journey towards success such as social skills, problem solving techniques, and a positive self-image.
