  • About Us

    Our Mission:

    Art in Action empowers children through arts education. We ignite students’ creativity and thinking by providing engaging visual arts programs.

    Our Vision:

    Art is an integral part of every student’s education, empowering the next generation to express unique ideas, expand cultural understanding, and develop the creative confidence to address the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

    Why Our Work Matters:

    Art engages students in their learning, stimulates intellectual achievement, improves school attendance, and broadens cultural awareness. Education is often focused on convergent thinking, yet studies show that critical and creative thinking have the highest impact on student performance. Modern technology requires visual communication. Our students master concepts through interpretive discussions and hands-on application, building skills of analysis, problem solving, evaluation, and communication.
