Mission

MISSION: FolukéARTS is a community-based organization based in Cleveland Ohio, whose focus is to strengthen and support underprivileged communities by providing access to performing arts, visual arts, and arts education. Our focus is at-risk Children, Youth, and Teens, and older adults. The GOAL is to provide positive alternatives to negative behaviors by instilling discipline, self-pride and boosting self-confidence through self-expression and self-discovery, in addition to promoting academic achievements, socio-economic development, and community enhancement. VISION: To provide multi-generational arts education services to the Greater Cleveland Area with a special commitment to the Cedar-Central 'Promise' Neighborhood. To implement arts and culture activities that will develop positive community 'norms' through the belief that it takes a village to raise a child, and that the older people are keepers of the culture and must remain dynamic members of society to provide younger generations positive role models. VALUE: Using the arts as a catalyst for academic achievements, socio-economic development, and community enhancement. TAG Line(s): "Developing Minds and Creative Expression Through Engaging Arts Activities" "THE ARTS: One of the most valuable tools for building relationships, and community."
