“Growing up around youth art centers sparked my lifelong passion for music and the arts. I’m excited to take on this role as a Fund Development Assistant, dedicated to keeping the arts accessible to the next generation and creating new avenues of opportunity.”

Ethan started at FAME as an intern, and he’s excited to continue his growth in this new role!

Last Saturday, we spent the afternoon at Fuller Park for the South Side Youth Explosion Day!

We connected with youth and families across the South Side and invited them to join us in a collaborative art mural. Each young person added their own dreams, ideas, and creativity to the piece.

It was a meaningful opportunity to engage the South Side community and to share our mission to make arts education more accessible for all.
