Arts Impact has served approximately 30,000 students in schools, community centers, libraries, and other community spaces. Our work is built on a passionate commitment to social change. Join us today in learning how to think differently and more creatively through engagement in the contemporary arts. CORE BELIEFS
- Teaching in and through the contemporary arts and 21st century media expands the field of arts education and taps into diverse learning styles;
- Harnessing the artistic expressions of hip-hop culture as a platform for positive self-expression and critical media literacy is an essential component of an expanded arts education field;
- Nurturing creativity through arts education builds critical thinking, creative problem solving, leadership, collaboration, and communication skills;
- Integrating contemporary arts and media with STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] subjects is a powerful way to increase academic rigor and encourage complex problem solving in a real world context.
