| The Organization(EADG) functions as a Network of Independent Artists who come together in an organized involvement to sow seeds into the community and inspire youth by bringing experiences to them that foster growth of a strong foundation in community values. Our Mission: ++To lead youth in art-based revitalization of public space. ++Provide Art-Integrated Workshops which link the resources of libraries, churches, community centers, and hospitals to come to the aid of at-risk youth in grades K-12. Several Artists may be involved as Instructors/Speakers to demonstrate their craft on-location with the children at visited sites. |
| Organizational Goals: Mentorship- we are staffed by professional artists and instructors who are all committed to the mission of youth outreach and who believe in the positive outcomes that can come from leading by example. A Helping Hand- we partner community agencies. Healing- we know first-hand that Art is a powerful healing and transformational tool that has been used in both educational and medical institutions as such. Our mission is to integrate art for its ability to make this impact. Making Things Beautiful- we are committed to inspiring others by leaving behind quality fine and architectural works of art for public enjoyment. We donate and make available to the public all works of art produced by the youth in our workshops and programs. Outreach –our program design provides alternatives which are aimed at minimizing the risk that youth, ages 5- 17 years old, will become initially or further involved in the juvenile justice system, or become chronically dependent on the human services system. |

there were students (and
here I include myself)
who wanted to stay in
college forever because
our courses provided an
experience of studying,
learning, and communal
fellowship in the quest
for knowledge that was
simply divine.”
