Our Mission
ARTSiE engages and empowers children and families through equity and excellence in arts and education programming, bridging and strengthening cultures and communities.
We Believe
The spirit of the child is nurtured and expressed through the arts.
The child develops through encouragement, collaboration, and personal accountability.
The arts promote social-emotional, physical and intellectual growth, confidence, and freedom.

Our Impact
Through our work, we engage parent participation in their children’s activities and create an environment of parent-child collaboration. We also strengthen community ties by forming connections between families through picnics, performances, carpool transportation, field trips, and by revitalizing the local clubhouse. Through our multifaceted programs, children gain a powerful sense of belonging, satisfaction, and confidence from their collaborative and individual achievements.
Accessibility
ARTSiE's goal is to ensure we remove all barriers to accessing and engaging our activities. We create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and respected. For physical disabilities, we hold activities in community centers and schools that are accessible by public transportation and are ADA compliant. To remove cost barriers, we offer scholarships and free classes. Additionally, we offer bilingual classes and keep class sizes intentionally small so we can quickly accommodate any needs.
