Organizer of Artistic Dreams Summer Cocktail
Artistic Dreams International (ADI) was founded in 2011 to open up children's creativity and fill the void left by budget cuts to arts education in public schools.
MISSION: Artistic Dreams International nurtures youth 7 to 15 to become creative world citizens that transform their lives and communities through the arts.
ADI provides youth 7 to 15 years old the creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills required to succeed in the twenty-first century, while providing socio-emotional skills, leadership skills, world awareness, an understanding of social justice, and community engagement. Artistic Dreams nurtures the individual to become well-rounded and prepared for life with all the skills needed that are not taught in school.
We pick up where the traditional education system stops. In a world where children are glued to phone and tablet screens, where creativity ends and technology stops our brain from thinking; in a world where youth drop out of school to pursue crime and addictions, or where a child falls victim of racism or bullying; in all these scenarios, Artistic Dreams International provides the missing piece.
WHY we work:
- Avoid School desertion (we work so that kids stay in school)
- To close the achievement gap between advantaged and disadvantaged youth
- Build interest in school topics
- Develop their creative capacity to solve world problems
- Create safer communities (avoid gangs, crime)
- Promote entrepreneurial minds
- To infuse the arts into childrens’ lives (because disadvantaged children that receive arts education have twice the likelihood to finish a college degree.) Or better said: children that receive art education finish school and become involved citizens.
