About Us

Why the corporation is being formed?

To use the artistic voice of passionate artists for the greater good of the community.

What does it intend to accomplish?

To shine a light on social issues that may otherwise be glossed over and forgotten as mere statistics. With our work, we intend to strike an emotional chord in the audience.

Who will benefit from its accomplishments?

Those affected (by social issues) and those not affected; by giving the later a chance to be part of a solution via action, rather than the problem itself through inaction.

How will the corporation achieve its purpose?

By creating a network of artists that can be pooled for art productions.

By using our artistic voice to reach and inspire a broad audience.
