The Arts
Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better. – Martin Luther King, Jr.


Support of the arts can be traced to our cultured co-founder Margaret Rosell Hawkins. Purpose: To create and support opportunities for educating minority youth in the arts and present and support performances by youth and accomplished professional artists in a diversity of disciplines.

Goal: To increase and expand art activity, and elevate our programs through arts integration and effectively create an arts renaissance within our organization and programmatic efforts.
