“Violence is what happens when people don’t know what else to do with their pain. The arts give them another language.”
Why We Exist
Purpose changes what young people believe is possible.
The Beat & The Frame Arts Institute uses intentional, school- and community-based creative programs to help young people build their voice, sharpen their skills and see new possibilities for their lives.
Instead of only criticizing negative cultural influences, we create constructive alternatives through music, cinema, mentorship and hands-on learning.
