Our
Story...
General sTATS
"Provide the community with artistic resources and provide artists with opportunities to thrive within their creative boundaries."
ADA began when 3 high school students came together to solve an issue:
a lack of artistic resources.
"I saw the importance of art within my community. I often feel that people overlook this aspect of life, yet art is all around us. Whenever you go to a store, someone must have designed the logo for the store. For each item, someone must have created the packaging using art. The posters that hang from the walls came from artists too. I hope that this organization will provide commissions that will allow the community to developed a further appreciation for visual arts."
- Jennifer
Presently, ADA takes commissions nationally. ADA hopes to expand its scope and continue to give back to the community through art. In the future, ADA plans to donate to non-profit organizations that focus on supporting artists.
