Sustainable Impact

Sustainable Impact promotes well-being, provides quality education, and develops new ideas to stimulate creativity.

  • Encourage students to share ideas, be open-minded, and cultivate students’ artistic and creative needs.

  • Offer world-class art instruction, including arts workforce development in critical thinking and technical training to prepare students for a multitude of career paths in the arts. Create access to quality art supplies, equipment, and reference materials for teachers, students, and parents.

  • Establish partnerships with local schools and arts organizations to share resources. Engage local business owners in creating career workforce opportunities such as networking and building relationships, job placements, and mentoring to help provide insight and guidance into the art industry.
