Artward Initiative supports culturally engaged projects, public art and social interaction programs in underserved and historically marginalized communities of color to promote cultural diversity and change the perception of the community through art. We focus on art as tool of community turn-around. Our projects include free/ low cost classical music concerts that are accessible to people of all backgrounds. We conduct “Love My Neighbor” free public art projects in the disadvantaged communities in the City of Carson and at the non-profit “Artward! Gallery at “Scottsdale” neighborhood. We provide arts outreach programs to youth at risk as part of Gang Diversion program. We provide local minority groups with free art education programs. To implement our goals we built strategic collaborations with The City of Carson CA, Bank of America Community Outreach Better Money Habits Program, Carson Sheriff’s Department Gang Diversion Team (GDT), “Scottsdale” community activists and management.
