Who We Are
Art Sphere Inc. works with communities to promote individual and civic empowerment through art education.
By building partnerships with schools, recreation centers and social service organizations in underserved neighborhoods, we provide high-quality art instruction to build skills, introduce youth to new technologies in art making and increase literacy.
As Action Allies, ASI works towards promoting a safe space and healing environment for all people. ASI follows an operating philosophy which you can learn more about here.
We teach young people to be philanthropists and inspire activism through the arts. We focus our arts education on promoting social issues such as environmental education, community empowerment, and general social good.
Our students are the future and they’re all volunteers for our cause. We teach them to be young philanthropists through nurturing a love and appreciation for arts and humanity.
