“We know that kids are born with a voice already.The Art Effect helps students discover, listen to, and trust their voices. We may help create platforms and open doors for them, but it’s the students’ voices that take center stage and carry the music forward.”

— Mary Ellen Iatropoulos, Director of Programs at The Art Effect

Thanks to you, our dedicated supporters, students at The Art Effect have become the first in their family to attend college, received life-changing college scholarships, and found solace in the studio during a difficult year.
