Helping today. Investing in the future.
Artists Alive, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded by Artists for the benefit of children's music, visual and dramatic arts. As educational budgets have been squeezed, so too have these crucial programs. In some instances, music and/or arts programs have been eliminated from schools entirely. While funding is a challenge to these arts programs, so too are the demanding schedules of our children. With the recent emphasis on standardized testing and for-credit college prep courses, students have less time than ever to discover the arts. Arts education is crucial to a well-rounded education and is equally as important as other core subjects.
Artists Alive also believes in the value of cultivating music and the arts for adults. For many adults, it's difficult to find opportunities to be actively engaged in their passion. We've worked with some very creative individuals to make their dreams of recording their original music a reality. We provide the recording facility, engineering, musical arranging, musicians and production to create a professional product, ready to sell. By working hand-in-hand with these individuals, we're able to breathe life into their dreams and create opportunities for them with their music.
As testimonial to how pivotal the arts can be in one's life, several of our contributing resident Artists are professional Engineers and have credited their careers wholly to their background in the arts. Our children's future will be powerfully influenced both professionally and personally with the opportunity to learn about the arts and the powerful creative forces and critical thinking tools that are unleashed with exposure to creative music and the arts. As an Artist, one is trained to think "out of the box". This training often allows Artists to find brilliant, creative solutions to very complex problems where more traditional, linear logic may fail. This creative approach to complex problems not only works brilliantly for music and art, but it can be valuable in leadership positions in the private sector and especially in all positions of our government. By placing a priority on the arts for our children, we are investing in our future leaders.
We believe in these core principals:
1. All children should be exposed to the arts at all levels of education.
2. Children that excel in an arts discipline should have the opportunity to pursue further training and development regardless of socio-economic status.
3. Understanding of the arts promotes understanding of other people and other cultures. Understanding of other people and cultures promotes acceptance. Acceptance promotes empathy. Empathy promotes and in many ways defines our Humanity and ultimately ENDS WAR.
4. Our future depends upon the strength of our local communities. Working to build and strengthen those communities and embrace each other's unique talents, we will empower each individual to be successful while fueling social and economic growth.
