✨🎨 Imagine a world where kids can explore their wildest ideas, express hidden emotions, and build confidence. That's the power of creativity! We believe in fostering this creativity and recently partnered with local schools through a fantastic event for Field Trip Planners at Shot of Art Studio in Chicago. Our goal was to showcase innovative art experiences and support a passion for creativity in students. Art teachers and school representatives joined us, exploring how these experiences can benefit their classrooms. Memorable Highlights: 🟢 Engaging Fluid Art Masterclass 🟢 Interactive Studio Tour 🟢 Valuable Networking Opportunities A huge thank you to Embarc for organizing the event. We deeply appreciate all the effort that went into making it a success. Our special shoutout to Ruby Thompson for her outstanding contributions and support. Looking to Collaborate? Let's connect and nurture the power of creativity together. #ShotofArt #FieldTrips #ArtEducation #Creativity #ChicagoPublicSchools #Embarc

Social Impact Honoree Intonation Music is the definition of support and creativity. They have been a valued partner of Embarc and have brought so much joy to our students through the universal language of music. Intonation Music is led by Tonya Howell who champions their work with beaming pride. The organization focuses on ensuring the art of making music is approachable so that youth on Chicago’s South Side see themselves as creators, musicians, and artists who have a unique value to contribute to the world around them. For nearly two decades Intonation has demonstrated what it means to remix youth development and with collaboration at its core, Intonation’s ensemble-focused approach teaches students how to make music as a group with the goal of cultivating lifelong skills of teamwork, conflict resolution, and a rich appreciation for different perspectives and creativity. Join us at Variety Spectacular to celebrate us in song, dance, and community May 16th as we uplift this amazing organization! Get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/eTrhpFzF
