Arts Clubhouse for Kids - Summer Program
Our intensive 3-week online summer experience transforms young imaginations into artistic achievements. Children ages 7-14 explore three dynamic disciplines daily from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST, building confidence and creative skills that last a lifetime.
Complete Creative Experience: Acting & Filmmaking develops authentic voice and storytelling skills. Comic Book Creation transforms imagination into visual narratives. Dance Mix builds confidence through movement and self-expression.
Why We Need Support: Many talented children lack access to quality arts education during summer break. Your sponsorship ensures no child misses this transformative creative journey due to financial barriers.
Break the Cycle of Budget Cuts
Too many children experience the heartbreak of losing arts programs just as they begin to flourish. Your sponsorship provides the stability schools need to offer consistent, high-quality arts education year after year.
The arts are a powerful tool to increase awareness in children. Whether participating in-person or online, many of the benefits that an arts education can offer are often missed due to programs not being accessible or parents not being aware that their children have an interest in the arts. Here’s where we come in. Our organization, Epitome of Soul has provided high quality arts education to students since 2012 and we continue to strengthen the skill and talent of our students through both in-person and online arts classes. When the pandemic hit in 2020, we didn’t want students to go without their arts instruction, so we began to offer online classes. Although people wondered how teaching arts online was/is possible, our amazing instructors made and make it happen everyday! We even went on to win our first ever international award (Anthem Award) for our Virtual Arts & Soul After school Club. Students are in great hands with our professional and engaging instructors. All of our teachers have real industry experience in their respective disciplines, and teach our students from a place of love and respect.
TESTIMONIALS
Parent Testimonials
I would also like to express how much of an outlet this program has been to both of my children, especially Tiana. Her and her art teacher Ms.Gabby really made a bond from the very beginning. Ms.Gabby has taught Tiana so much about art and how to express herself through art. Since joining the program, her grades have even gone up and she is also more sociable around other children her age. She has matured so much and is so confident in everything she does now. I can't thank you enough for this experience.

“I think the program was excellent. My son does not like ballet class, but being in the program he got to see he was creative. He likes acting and the experience of the teacher made great demands that will help him in his acting career. Thank you and your staff”.

"I really liked all the activities and I learned different ways to express myself. We played games but those games were based on what the class was, so we were learning and playing a game at the same time.”
