About the program

A look into our first Arts Ignite partnership

Arts Ignite’s longest enduring partner, enFAMILIA, builds healthy family relationships among the immigrant, migrant, and farm worker communities of South Florida. We’ve worked together every summer since our founding in 2006.

Supporting migrant families and children through arts experiences

Our Teaching Artists recognize and celebrate their students’ strengths through daily art classes, supporting their exploration of both voice and choice through the arts. Our classes are designed to support the development of students’ self management skills, social skills, positive identities, and confidence. They also foster a shared sense of contribution and belonging within their community.

A summer full of arts-rich experiences

Culminating in an end-of-summer final presentation and graduation performance, students at Art-in-Action experience the new art forms as a way to explore self-expression. They also meet new people, build positive social networks, develop key creative and communication skills, and—most importantly—enjoy camp as an arts-filled place of fun and joy!
