OUR STORY

OUR CURRENT IMMEDIATE NEED

To build a fully functioning, spacious, high quality Health focused Artist Training

facility with the best structure, layout & equipment available.

{Think: neighborhood 'Youth Artist Training Facility' think... 'YMCA for Artists'}

This facility will be a place where young post-high school serious artists can go to freely hone/train or

polish the skills they have as well as a source for guidance, 2-way mentorships, direction & skill building in

the arts disciplines from experienced professionals united to help the 'whole Artist' as they also thrive as

contributive members of society.

​

Included in this facility will be the Following & Beyond:

​

• High Quality Venue room/Stage: for all live performing & entertaining opportunities.

​

• Free Rehearsal/Practice/Writing/Creative Spaces:For serious vocalists, musicians, dancers, visual & media artists, songwriters, fashion designers, etc... Available also for private & group training/practice.

​

• Psych Wall Room & Video/Photo Technology: For all visual creative training services including content creation and beyond.

​

• Dance / Yoga / Physical Conditioning Rooms

​

​

• Various Services Available Will Include: Artistic Direction, Styling consultation, Artist conditioning, Audio/Visual content creation, Promo, social media direction & more.

​

• Programs available Will intend not to pamper and stroke the artist - but to challenge and guide toward self-direction while safely providing real world opportunities for them to gain the skills, experience & confidence needed to then proudly fuse with their Artistic gifts as they advance in society toward their future goals.

​

• The facility will be a HEALTH FOCUSED, SAFE and OPEN an age appropriate place in the community where post high school Youth will be supported and guided by our Team of young & old-school experienced, skilled visionaries

​

• Binarily-GROW RISING EXCEPTIONAL ARTISTS who will THRIVE & shine in society - beyond the stigma - the way they were born to!

• Our current & ongoing GOAL...to consistently create events that allow for learning & give back opportunities, raise necessary funds for scholarships, and shine a positive light on;

  • ​Serious post high school youth creative artists: These are the ages where they may find it most difficult to find places to practice their skills & beyond, while also working in the adult world and often fall into the abyss of depression and unhealthy life distractions if they are not able to fulfill their creative life work.

  • Serious post high school age youth living the challenges associated with cognitive exceptionalities... including the gifted: These youth are those who may learn/function differently, but who clearly thrive in the Arts more than any other skill or field, yet who might otherwise not get the chance to gain experience or express their individual artistry amidst supportive & challenging environments. 

​

We are confident that we will be able to significantly help the youth most effectively when we have the needed

training facility building and we are even more confident that we will not only be able to do so in our local community,

but in communities all over the world.

If we build it...they WiLL come, and they will know this facility to be the second home they can always return to if they

feel lost or distracted - because it is not being designed just to help them ‘feel & look’ great, but they will be able to

recall & pass along their training throughout their lives making them, in fact ‘Be’ GREAT!

​

ONE
