Mission

OASIS Center International is a 501(c)3 community development organization, working in partnership with both public and private entities to bring art back into the lives of our youth. Established in 2012, the vision of OASIS is to inspire a generation of youth to fulfill the highest level of life achievement possible through discovery and development of their inherent creative gifts. Our mission is to positively impact at-risk youth through a replicable Arts Mentoring Program and to enhance the skills of local artists through community engagement.

What We Do

Recognizing the advantageous effects of arts education on both students and society, OASIS is committed to restoring arts and cultural enrichment at the core of communities, and we believe this starts with a focus on the youth, especially those at-risk in underserved areas of the community. OASIS provides students with instruction in a variety of modalities, including architectural design, creative art journaling, film-making, and tap dance.
