ADDITIONALLY, THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGES THE COMMUNITY IN THE PROCESS OF ART MAKING AND ARTISTIC COMMUNICATION AS A WAY TO STIMULATE INTER-CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING, APPRECIATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE. THE ORGANIZATION EDUCATES AND INSPIRES YOUTH THROUGH THE ARTS ON THEIR WAY TO BECOMING PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS.
