Mission

ArtReach Orlando is a 501c (3), private operating foundation founded in 2012. ArtReach Orlando supports collaborative art programs between teachers, schools, organizations and local artists with the emphasis on high quality visual art programming for youth. We are supported by an outstanding team of teaching artists and proven partnerships with Orange County Public Schools and other community organizations.

• Strengthen youth identity, self-esteem, and confidence.
• Focus on the creative process, rather than the final product, to enable youth to engage at their own level. 
• Develop youth’s sense of community connection and engagement.
• Are youth-driven, responsive, and honor student voices.
• Ensure youth are engaged in safe and healthy spaces.
• Focus on positive relationship-building.
• Are asset-based and help youth to build upon their inherent strengths and talents.
