PERSONAL STATEMENT FOR DONATIONS
As a student at the Alabama School of Fine Arts, my outreach performances in the community were a large part of my academic education. I felt a deep desire to see all students receive the same opportunity for professional training in state-of-the-art facilities that I experienced. As I witnessed dancers performing on gymnasium or concrete floors, I knew I had to use my artistic experiences to be a part of the solution.

This funding will allow The FILES Arts Project to offer a professional dance and music workshop to the youth of the city of Birmingham. It is important for Ms. Files to engage new audiences in the arts and develop each participant artistically. The requested funding will make it feasible to market the event to the public, rent adequate facilities, offer professional well-trained artists as instructors, and engage participants in health, business and technology seminars. To work on this project, Ms. Files intentionally selected young, successful professionals who exemplify achievement and who will serve as role models. Training will also expose participants to the technical and creative processes, such as lighting, costuming, and staging. The project will have a positive impact on the community by offering training sessions to artists at varying levels, on the artists by offering unique training during the one-week workshop experience, and on the participating collaborators by broadening their artistic abilities as they teach artists with a wide range of dance and music abilities. However, funding is necessary for The FILES (Future Inspired Leaders Exemplifying Success) Arts Project to succeed in serving our target audience. As we secure funding, it is our plan to offer dance and music workshops annually.
