About Us:
Our mission is to help end school violence that is caused by bullying and to build a foundation that will bring peace in our schools, help beneficiaries live their best life, and to build a studio facility that promotes ending school violence that is caused by bullying. Our corporation will travel to different schools throughout the United States holding competitions for a free studio membership. The corporation will work closely with mental health professionals, contractors, schools, parents and community leaders to help end school violence.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help children turn their pain into love for art and use that passion to stay out of
trouble. We want to reduce bullying and violence, strengthen school–parent–student
relationships, and build confidence, discipline, and emotional intelligence.
We believe that when children learn to control their fears, stress, and anger through art, they
become stronger, healthier, and more successful.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to help schools decrease and ultimately end school violence caused by bullying by
introducing art in multiple forms. We believe that when children have a safe, equipped place to
explore their passion for art, they learn:
● Time management
● Social skills
● Respect
● Anger management
● Communication
● Discipline
We envision a community where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to express
themselves.
