spirit

to empower young persons to feel feelings and think thoughts…

to listen to the stories they tell…

to offer alternatives to emptiness, cynicism and apathy…

we are dedicated to connecting talented youth with arts education and mentorship. we believe this includes being mindful of the spiritual well-being of our students, including working with a sensitivity toward social consciousness, practicing honesty and good listening, reminding students of their dignity with the way we respect them, and praying for (considering / meditating on) them. our own passions are tied to our spiritual beliefs, but our work is not evangelistic beyond the basic faith we have in God’s tendency to revelation through True things. and we believe good art, in all its glorious diversity of form, content, and style, is one of the truest things we know.
