Our Programs:
Rising Artist Arts Program– RAAP is an arts education program currently offering photography and videography classes with more class options in the works. This program runs for 5 weeks with classes being held 2 days per week, not including any type of special events. During the program, classes will be taught for an hour. This program is for youth with any type of health disorder within the age range of 11-18. Our students will be taught by professionals within their specific field of study on a weekly basis as well as have the opportunity to learn from notable industry professionals within the art and entertainment industries through masterclasses and workshops.
Performances/Finale Events- At the end of our programs we will have some type of event to culminate the end of a specific program to celebrate our students’ accomplishments and artistic work.
The outcome for this program is to equip students with foundational knowledge and skills in their area of study whether photography, videography, or otherwise. Their creative skills and confidence will be enhanced and increased. In addition to that, we will foster community and artistic expression among our students.
Why- To teach youth and young adults with health disorders in multiple areas of the arts. Youth with health disorders most times feel defined by their specific health condition and think that they can’t become or achieve whatever it is that they want but we are here to prove otherwise. Your health condition is not who you are, it’s just a part of you.
RAAP operates on the belief that art has the power to transcend limitations, foster personal growth, and transform lives. By creating a supportive and inclusive environment, the program aims to instill confidence in participants, helping them recognize and celebrate their unique talents.
The Rising Artists Arts Program is not just an educational experience; it is a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and artistic expression. Through the RAAP, the Arts Over Odds Foundation endeavors to make a positive impact on the lives of youth and young adults facing health challenges, proving that with creativity and determination, they can overcome any obstacle on their path to artistic fulfillment.
