Our Global Mission
Our mission is to create unique safe spaces that empowers young creatives to use the arts as an agent of change.
Where We Build Young Creatives to be Innovative Thinkers
We serve a growing writing community of creative youth and young adult artist, who are using their talents to tell their stories. We work within a diverse space of imaginative thinkers who have yet to unleash their artistic gifts to the world. We help young writers develop their ideas and translate them into complete works to be viewed by the public. We encourage students of all writing levels to join Forward Arts Movement, and embark on a journey of discovering your voice and ability to tell a story.
Nurture Young Artist
Through the arts students learn self-understanding, self confidence, enhanced communication skills, and they develop creative problem-solving skills. Creating artist communities is necessary in molding young global leaders.
(Founder Naima A. Dawson with her drama students)
Many young people have visions and ideas but there’s no exclusive space for them to grow their ideas. There’s a constant fight for access to space for artist to develop new concepts and expressions in the arts. Public spaces in the arts are essential ingredients in every community.
Such spaces allow neighbors to meet each other, showcase ideas, create open dialogue, and most importantly create a safe heaven for new expression in creativity and ideas in the arts.
Forward Arts Movements (FAM) uses shared public art spaces in different communities, that welcomes and celebrates young creatives in the arts. We teach young creatives how to build cooperative communities through the arts.
We must teach our youth how to be meaningful contributors in the social and economic aspects of community building through the arts. Our inclusive workshop spaces empowers and engages youth and young adults to become innovators in the arts.
