We are passionate about the arts and believe in the power of community.
Our Mission
North Shore Arts Angels Inc. is a non-profit educational foundation established in 2014 in order to expand the role established by the Arts Angels Booster Club. Founded by a small group of parents in 2004, the Art Angels Booster Club helped to enhance arts education by providing funds to teachers in the music, fine arts and theater departments. These funds helped to pay for equipment, services and program support not covered in the school district budget. North Shore Arts Angels, Inc., was formed to carry on that tradition, as well as to further expand opportunities by creating independent arts based programs that complement and augment the districts offerings.
“There is incredible power in the arts to inspire and influence.”
What We've Achieved
Thanks to our generous volunteers and donors, we have always been able to contribute significant financial support North Shore’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts. The past two years have been tough for the world and - North Shore is no different. Our little creative corner of the world here has seen better days and we’re hoping to reignite our community support of North Shore’s student art community - and we need your help to do so. Take a look below at some of the projects /workshop/initiatives we've funded since the Booster Club began fundraising in 2007.
