Project Description

CAC grant funds will be used to support artists and instructors who come from—or serve—communities impacted by systemic marginalization. This includes individuals affected by incarceration and involvement in the justice system, economic and health disparities, disability-related accessibility barriers, housing insecurity, and issues of cultural and social justice, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

For over six years, iSound Performing Arts has provided at-risk and underserved youth with access to transformative arts experiences. Our programming includes monthly music camps, healing-centered art and painting sessions, and a wide range of creative workshops that promote emotional well-being, self-expression, and personal development. CAC funding will help us sustain and expand these efforts, ensuring that youth and artists from historically underrepresented backgrounds have equitable opportunities to thrive through the arts.

Organization Summary

Sound Performing Arts offers a diverse range of core programs and services designed to inspire, educate, and empower youth through the arts. Our “Arts & Explore” program blends visual art instruction with cultural education, allowing students to engage in hands-on painting while learning about the historical and cultural significance behind various artistic styles. We also offer instruction in art painting, musical instruments, vocal performance, dance, music production, and drama, providing young people with a well-rounded introduction to the performing and creative arts.

Participants gain real-world experience with digital production technology, building valuable technical skills as they create and present their work through concerts, recitals, and multimedia projects. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic five years ago, we launched virtual youth community pop-up camps and online classes, ensuring continued engagement and creative development during a critical time.

Building on the success of both our virtual and in-person programs, we are now expanding our reach through a weekday after-school program and by bringing our services to more communities. With a focus on accessibility, self-expression, and youth development, we believe creativity has the power to redefine possibilities and shape a brighter future for the next generation.
