#givingtuesday Help us raise money for Muze It Festival 2019!
The Muze It Outreach Program's mission is to use the creative and ethical gifts of African and American music and cultural heritage as a form of artistic expression; and also to promote positive images and to help young people become better students such that they reach their full potential as leaders in their communities and beyond. The Muze It Festival is our end of year celebration for program participants, their families and our community!
Our goal for GivingTuesday is to raise $5,000, enough to cover the expenses for our guest artists. Each year we seek to involve artists from all over the United States and would like to continue to offer the festival and its classes 100% free to the public. Every dollar raised through this campaign—will help us make our 4th Annual Festival amazing!
Muze It is a foundational musical and cultural program with a curriculum grounded in Djembe drum based rhythm repertoire and other dances of the West African Mande diaspora. Muze It is also a range of educational activities that expose students and the public to the artistry, meaning, and cultural background of hip-hop dance performance. When combined, Muze It is a continuum of teachings from the historical black, cultural traditions of the Motherland (Africa) and the African American diaspora.
Project Goals: Muze It addresses its mission by providing the following goals: 1) to provide artistic development to students through ongoing practices, workshops and performance opportunities where participants acquire discipline, presentation and critical thinking skills; 2) to provide leadership training to prepare students to be educators and to support their learning and understanding of certain mathematical skills (to master the techniques of drum and dance one must use certain basic mathematical timing and sequencing); and 3) to encourage social activism and social responsibility by working with a host of community partners throughout Baltimore City and region to raise the standards of thinking for budding student artists and audiences alike.
