Art and music are two things we can all identify with regardless of age, gender or culture. Through our organization I want to bring art and music to children who other wise wouldn’t have access. Transportation is a serious issue in Southeast Ohio and other rural communities. With a mobile art and music studio we will be able to meet at a local park, library or public venue and do art and music lessons with kids on site. With thought-out lesson planning, each art and music activity will be educational. We will offer take home art and music activities to keep the students engaged at home as well. Understanding the importance of art and music in children’s lives is important, so we want to encourage and educate parents on how to keep their kids creating at home. By creating a positive environment for kids to learn and explore art and music we can begin to help kids build a positive self esteem and emotional wellness. Dreaming and believing in yourself is the first step in self growth, at all ages. Through “Crafty” I want to instill positive ways kids can express themselves.  Come take a ride with me as we adventure through Ohio in a school bus filled with dreamers and believers!
