ArtSup?! offers afterschool arts programming to middle school age teens in underserved communities in Oklahoma City. Our mission is to connect with teens through the arts, providing them with the tools, resources and guidance they need to explore their creativity and develop their talents. ArtSup?! uses professional art instruction to give these young individuals a platform to express themselves, evolve their skills, and engage with others.

Art isn't just a creative outlet; it's a powerful tool for expression, communication, and connection. It transcends borders, breaks barriers, and bridges gaps. For teens, especially those in underserved communities, art can be a lifeline - a means to convey their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

ArtSup?! has two sites and rotates artists throughout the school year to give the teens access to a variety of art such as photography, painting, leatherwork, jewelry making, clothing design and much more.

In this underserved community that also experiences food insecurity, ArtSup?! provides a meal each day of programming.

It's not just about the art; it's about the lives we touch; the dreams we inspire; and the future we help shape.

This fund will be invested in securing art supplies, hiring experienced instructors, and providing food for the teens durimg the afterschool hours.

Let's make a lasting impact together! Our aim is to raise $20,000 by May 30, 2024 (20x30).
