Art is Perspective is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to exposing the youth and their families to various activities, knowledge, and programs to help enhance their perspectives on life.
More exposure brings more possibilities!
At Art is Perspective, our mission is to be a resource to close the opportunity gaps within our communities. Everyone deserves opportunities, no matter the circumstance, location, or other uncontrollable factors.
What is opportunity gap?
Opportunity gap, also known as "achievement gap", refers to the uncontrollable ways that factors -such as socioeconomic background, race, ZIP code, gender, etc...- contribute to a lower rate of students' successes and achievements in life.
We choose to identify this as "opportunities gaps" and not "achievement gaps" because of the limitation of educational success that the word "achievement" can influence one's perspective. The success of children does start in an educational environment, but we believe opportunities are endless, even after academic settings.

How do we help?
AiP believes that exposure and resources are the core fundamentals of what opportunity brings. Children in the areas that opportunity gaps exist tend to not have as many resources, opprortunities, and education available as other surrounding areas may have. With our projects, we bring opportunities to families to help further their understandings and change perspectives about what is attainable in life.
AiP projects include but are not limited to:
- Workshops
- Speaking Engagements
- Career/Hobby based after-school programs
- Community Events
- Volunteering Opportunities and more
