IMPACT ARTIST HUBS
We have launched "virtual hubs", with the mission to provide an opportunity for kids/teens to make friends with like-minded individuals, share art in safe spaces as a healthy form of creative self-expression, and discuss topics that are relevant in today's world. *All virtual.* 4 hubs per month (2 for ages 7-11 / 2 for ages 13-17).
IMPACT ARTIST HANGOUTS
Inspired by the success of our 2020 EFC Conscious Consumption Summit (a week of Instagram LIVES with various influencers aligned to the brand), we will be curating Instagram LIVES to discuss with influencers what it means to BE an "Impact Artist" - gaining various perspectives and inspiring youth. Every Friday at 12PM PST/3PM EST.
OUR WHY
Arts education matters. It is what creates empathy and affects change. It is what sparks thought, conversation and insight. Our long-term goal is to privately fund arts education into public school systems.
Our network of arts educators are dedicated to being a support system for young people, by providing leadership, social/environmental consciousness, tangible skills, and safe spaces to make “changing the world” fun and engaging! EFC is committed to a future in which being an Impact Artist is easily identifiable, and the next generation feels secure and empowered to be the leaders of a new normal. We fundamentally believe that art is the most powerful way to internalize thoughts and feelings, so that you can externalize action and make a lasting impact.
