Arts Pathway Program

The Arts Pathway Program provides need-based financial assistance towards creative arts classes for youth in the greater St. Louis region. Donations to this program directly impact the lives of youth from underserved communities who express a passion and interest in studying dance, music, theater or visual art.

At Gift Hearts, we believe that the arts should be accessible to everyone. Too often, financial barriers are the reason that many young people are unable to experience the positive impact of the arts. The Arts Pathway program eliminates financial obstacles and provides a path for students to learn, explore and engage in the arts.

*Gift Hearts partners with local social service programs, shelters, community centers and arts organizations to identify students that would benefit from the Arts Pathway program.

If you would like to help the youth of our community become active participants in the creative arts, please make your donation here.

Thank you for your support!

I have come to realize that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.”
