As a 501(c)(3) organization, AWE sponsors professional artists who bring creative visual arts experiences directly to schools, community centers, parks, libraries, and community events. Their goal is to ignite imaginations and cultivate community through meaningful arts programming.

AWE believes in the power of art and creativity as a viable path to success for all.
