The HEART of Arts & Social Transformation!
Art & Social Transformation is an international platform of arts development where high school age young artists from low income families, and from area of risk, come together to improve their talents, and to create new arts together with peers, and individually. The program is facilitated by International and National Arts Professors and Artists.
A&ST works in collaboration with all sorts of organization and individuals dedicated to social transformation through arts. A&ST has worked with public Local High Schools, Non Governmental Organizations (NGO), Social Groups, and various Groups and/or citizens involved in social transformation.
A&ST is also interested in the integration and cooperation between young artists from the various economic classes thus providing a creative base for mutual understand at an early age in order to facilitate cooperation and easy contact between them.
We collaborate across the various levels of economic, educational, cultural, ethnical, and organizations and citizens seeking to make a positive social difference in their world without prejudices.
The Four Platforms of A&ST are:
- C.A.T – Creating Arts Together – a program that lasts 1 to 3 weeks where the Young Artists come together and, facilitated by International Professor, work in collaboration to create original arts to present during the close event for CAT.
- CAPSA – Community Arts Partnership – Participation of selected young high school age Brazilian artists, (selected during CAT Brazil) to participate at Cal Arts Annual 3 weeks CAPSA program in Los Angeles.
- G.S.R. (Getting the Show on the Road) – Annual international tour designed to give the young selected artist that participates in C.A.T. BRAZIL a chance to be On the Road, to grow culturally, improve their skills before a variety of audience, and grow in creative cooperation.
- F.U.E. (Facilitating University Entry) – A&ST will walk side by side with Young Artists to facilitate them to pursue and enter higher education.
