Do you want to be part of the community that supports the women-led/black-led arts program in rural Mississippi this summer? We'd love for you to join us.
WHERE YOUR DONATIONS GO:
- We hire 4-6 professional artists and pay them to go to rural Mississippi- We cover airfare and costs and housing and food- We purchase instruments such as guitars and drums for the music classes- We often hire local assistants in Mississippi- We provide an honorarium to guests - We put on an end of session show where kids perform and the parents & community come to see what the students have done
WE KNOW THE KIDS LOVE OUR FREE ARTS PROGRAM!
We know we can build a world where people are part of a community, a community that values mutual respect, cooperation, democracy and nonviolence. Imagine a community dedicated to learning history and art, showing kids how to be makers of things and not just unaware consumers.

We make our summer arts camp in Mississippi free. That means we bring the artists, poets, musicians, ceramicists, dancers, playwrights, drama teachers, filmmakers and amazing guests TO THEM! The families don't pay, the kids don't pay. Not only that but we feed them a healthy lunch in our program.
Our attitude is that every dollar spent educating kids in the arts is an INVESTMENT in the future, in a future we want to live in.
