• Arts-Kids is no ordinary after-school arts program; it is about the development of self-confidence and the interpersonal communication skills of children "whose home, school, or personal lives are being stressed in ways that may keep them from realizing their full potentials."
• Arts-Kids is not about art for art's sake; it is about "empowering youth through the expressive arts;" to enable each to connect through creativity.
• A drawing or sculpture is not the objective; rather these ends are fait accompli to the process by which each was created: the self-discovery obtained through trial and error, cooperation with one's peers and, above all, participation.
• Unlike many other after-school art programs, Arts-Kids is not limited to the graphic arts and pottery, but embraces all of the expressive arts from poetry and drama to music and dance.
• Each class is purposely organized around children of both genders, spanning diverse ethnic, religious, social, and economic backgrounds, because this diversity is critical to building appreciation and empathy for others.
• Importantly, each class begins and ends with a group circle where "each child's voice is heard, communication skills are strengthened, personal motivation is enhanced, respect for others' feelings forged, and sense of community is fostered.
