OUR MISSION
To transform the lives of youth in under-resourced communities across the US through tuition-free music lessons and mentorship by paid, professional artists.
Through weekly one-on-one sessions over a full school year, ArtSmart students receive world class instruction and training from professional musicians. Using an evidenced based curriculum, our mentors work with their students to set goals, learn music, develop a health self-esteem and ultimately, chart a course for the rest of their lives.
ArtSmart gives our students purpose
Our music mentorship program and one-to-one voice lessons provide our students with a safe space to express themselves.
