What We Do:
ArtSafe is dedicated to changing the lives of troubled kids through the arts. ArtSafe targets "at risk" kids in their schools, neighborhoods, juvenile and adult prisons. We help young people heal from the effects of violence, discover their skills, talents and give them the tools to learn how to deal with anger, avoid getting into trouble and create meaningful lives. .
Vision Statement:
At ArtSafe, we envision a world where all children receive encouragement to explore their innate talents and fascinations. Through nurturing family, educational and social environments, they become skilled at knowing the ways these inherent traits open doors of learning, productivity, appreciation, sense of community and sense of direction. As a result, children embrace challenges as windows of opportunity for discovering new and better choices. In their world, diversity of thought, action, belief and heritage are as celebrated as the colors on an artist's palette. Later, these young people become creative and goal-directed adults, adept at building highly productive, efficient, and innovative community, work, and family environments.
Mission Statement:
Art for a Child's Safe America Foundation (ArtSafe) is a not-for-profit organization established to provide opportunities for communities to use the arts to create safe, nurturing environments for children, youth and adults. ArtSafe creates, develops, and implements programs that promote productivity, positive outlook, and a sense of community through encouraging participants to discover, value, and use their innate talents and individual interests. Creating programs and products that provide meaningful alternatives to violence is ArtSafe's highest priority.
