Project Title
Project A.M.M.O. (Arts & Music Motivational Opportunities)
Briefly describe the proposal.
Utilizing Music and the performing arts, Project A.M.M.O. (Arts & Music Motivational Opportunities) will create an artistic platform of conflict resolution and peer-to-peer socialization. Lyric and songwriting, theater improv and artistic team building techniques will be used to engage, foster and create anti-crime and anti-violence scenarios and alternatives by giving program participants a release through artistic expression.
How will the project benefit the residents of this district?
The project will first provide residents a much needed catharsis and release from the current trauma being seen and felt in our city. Secondly, it will provide positive community engagement in a culturally relevant way that will foster hope and a greater sense of responsibility for each citizen to be an agent of change through the Arts.
