Support the young visual and performing artist through proactive programming and support

Help support the Youth Arts Forum, an organization that encourages kids to take their talent to the big stage.

I work with and support kids between ages 5 and 18 in the visual and performing arts. We have had several recent amazing concerts in Manhattan and over last summer, we traveled up and down the East Coast for the Simon Malls Tour. I would like to chat with you, teachers, parents, school administrators about the possibility of having a gallery/concert event with a few locals musicians from the Youth Arts Forum as well as visual artists from local schools. I am working on a theme of "School Bullying" and this would be the underpinning of the event. I would love the opportunity to chat with you about this very unique and worthwhile event.

Over the past 20 or so years I have found that talanted kids express themselves in many ways. Supporting their efforts through a proactive and positive venue is an amazing way to be sure they have a challenging and positive experience. We can all help in this regard.
