Who We Are

Representative of all.

Our performing artists deserve quality, affordable access to supplemental educational opportunities. Motivate the Arts is on a mission to connect young artists with a successful Roster of Motivators.

What We Do

Vision, Initiative, and Resilience.

Creativity and artistry do not exist in a vacuum. Our Motivators each have keynote topics speaking to their experiences.

When, Where, How?

Accessible to all.

Motivate the Arts will work with your schedule and Motivator preferences to organize and facilitate Live In Person Motivators, Live Virtual Motivators or custom pre-recorded keynote addresses for hundreds of dollars, not thousands.
