Lucky Seven Scholarship Fundraiser

Our Goal: We would like to grant seven training scholarships to under-served youth interested in the ARTS.

We are recognized for our unique arts integrated curriculum and creative arts learning. Our mission is to provide a platform of personal expression, cultural awareness and social development through artistic creation and service learning for youth in Atlanta, Georgia. Our Children’s Performance Company services youth ages 3-18 years with arts training, performance opportunities, cultural enrichment trips and participation in service-learning projects. 

Adopt An Artist: We are soliciting support to fund seven scholarships for students to join our performance company within three instructional pathways: movement arts, theatrical arts, and cultural arts.  

Our Philosophy: The ARTS is a gift to GIVE and not just for personal gratification. Our focus goes beyond the route of instruction and visual displays of amusement and entertainment. We are intentional and provide an approach to arts learning that has three tiers: discovery, creation, and service. Our curriculum prepares students to be well rounded citizens in the arts and creative industries. 

Our youth “discover art” through mentorship and engagement in artistic training with professionals from all over the country. Our youth “create art” by becoming advocates and taking ownership of their artistic practice and they “give art” by performance and development of their humanitarian landscape through meaningful community events.

It Takes A Village: Our organization is shaped by professional teaching artists that lend not only arts integrated training but also mentorship. Our instructional basis is multi-dimensional and in turn inspires a new wave of young creatives. We expect our teaching artists to transcend traditional mindsets. It’s not “what they do”, but it’s “who they are”.  

Our Company: We have five age divisions: Indigo (3-5 yrs), Prodigy (6-8 yrs), Apprentice (9-12 yrs), Junior (13-15 yrs), and Senior (16-18 yrs). Our kids present their artistic talents to audiences throughout the Atlanta community. Below is our participation and performance portfolio which includes several community events and workshops.
