| "we teach artists the business of being an artist" |

| With our Hearts for the Arts seminars, we venture beyond traditional training techniques to teach young artists the business of being an artist so that they can transition successfully and independently into adulthood! We do this because schools today are minimizing art programs that once provided an outlet for the creative expression of young people. As a result, many young artists today have stunning artistic ability, but do not have access to opportunities that can help them reach their creative potential. As a solution, Hearts for the Arts, Inc. tackles this problem at the root by reconnecting the arts and education to create learning opportunities that promote academic, artistic, social and career development in creative youth. For the adult artist—budding, rising or seasoned—we offer business-building strategies to help them attend college, build a successful business or stay marketable in today's competitive workforce. Mission Our mission is to exist as a building block of training and support that can help artists live successfully and independently. Vision Our vision is to be recognized within the walls of academia, throughout society and within the arts, as a leader in promoting a broader awareness of the viable career options that exists within the arts. |
