Free Arts NW - Position Classification
Mission
Free Arts NW is committed to providing the arts, mentorship and community to youth in need. With this as our mission, we are dedicated to empowering youth to find their creativity, passion, and voice. As facilitators of artistic exploration and expression, Free Arts NW highly values four principals that motivate and shape our process with youth: belonging, interdependence, accomplishment, and generosity.
These four principals are the lens through which we organize our mission and our work directly with youth. They compound the transformative qualities of art, to provide powerful growth opportunities for youth.
About Free Arts NW
Free Arts NW was founded by Kris Bella and Sylvia Hartowicz in 2009. Kris and Sylvia had a powerful vision of positively impacting the lives of youth and developing community within the Portland metro area by utilizing various forms of art.
Free Arts NW is modeled after and affiliated with the national Free Arts movement that provides various forms of access to the arts to children and youth throughout the United States.
Beginning solely with Kris and Sylvia, Free Arts NW has become a movement of mentors, volunteers and partners within the Portland metro area who believe in the value of our youth and understand that art is an effective way to engage youth in sharing their voices with the community.
