THE RED VELVET GROUP
A space to
CREATE
In a time where emotional resilience is key, with 40% of police calls linked to domestic violence, ArtsTech emerges as a beacon of hope. It provides kids a creative outlet, uniting communities through art, nurturing bonds, and guiding youths in conquering life's hurdles with grace.
Donating can truly make a difference!
The Red Velvet Group is committed to preserving the arts for Kansas City, MO, students. Join us in our Juneteenth fundraising events to ensure ArtsTech remains vital to supporting the arts and fostering opportunities. As ArtsTech founder Dave Sullivan says, it's a place where youth design the future."
