As we approach our third anniversary this spring, I am filled with gratitude for the privilege of leading this initiative and serving our community. What began as a vision to create access, equity, and opportunity in the arts has grown into a powerful movement—one artist at a time.
In just three years, we have proudly graduated 27 emerging artists. Some may call that a small number, but we know the truth: our strength is in the depth of our commitment to each individual. Every student receives personalized instruction, mentorship, and the guidance needed to build a dynamic portfolio and take the first steps toward a sustainable artistic career. Many of our graduates have sold their first works, launched their creative brands, and discovered a renewed sense of purpose and confidence.
Our mission has always been clear: to empower underserved communities by teaching artists to value their own work, develop their skills, and create economic sustainability through their creativity. We believe that when one artist thrives, the entire community rises with them.
These past three years have not been easy. With limited funding, we have been forced to scale back parts of our program despite the growing need. Art materials are expensive, resources are scarce, and the demand for accessible arts education continues to rise.
This is why we are asking for your support today.
Your contribution—no matter the size—directly impacts a student’s ability to learn, create, and build a future in the arts. When you give, you are not just donating; you are changing someone’s life.
As a token of our appreciation, every donor will receive a FREE PW School of Art T‑shirt as our thank‑you for your generosity.
Our donor drive runs until February 5th, and there is still time to make a meaningful difference.
Thank you for believing in this mission. Thank you for supporting our students. And thank you for allowing me the honor of serving my community through this work.
Together, we can continue building equity, sustainability, and opportunity—one artist at a time.
