Evolutionary Arts Life Foundation Inc.

Fast forward between 2002 to 2025, we have expanded our reach to include partnerships with The African American Research Library and Cultural Center, BBBS of Miami, Greater Love Arts Academy, Miami Dade College, Norland Middle School and Dr Michael Krop High School with year-round programming available to all! Summer 2025 brought a new sense of accomplishment as we serviced about 200 students. The 6 week program included workshops with nationally known performing artists, new electives such as content creation, Visual Arts, and several performances! 

At Evolutionary Arts, we prepare young artists and other creatives to thrive in tomorrow’s workforce. Evolutionary Arts Life Foundation Inc. began the summer of 2017 with over 50+ campers due to the lack of arts programming for students in the north side of the county. During the inaugural summer season, we incorporated the music track by offering string orchestra, concert band, jazz band, marching band & drum-line. The following year we added acting, dance and musical theater which culminated into a full performance of the broadway musical "The Wiz" including a full live youth orchestra. In year three we added several additional disciplines to the curriculum such as ukulele, keyboard, chorus, music technology, personal fitness and personal development.  

 From middle school to high school to early career, we provide hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world experience in creative industries and future-focused careers. Whether it’s music, theater, dance, digital media, stage production, entrepreneurship, design, or storytelling, we’re equipping youth with the skills employers need and the confidence every leader deserves.

 This Give Miami Day, your support directly invests in the next generation of creators, innovators, and workforce leaders.

Early giving begins Saturday, November 15, and continues through Give Miami Day on Thursday, November 20.

 Evolutionary Arts bridges that gap between talent, access, and opportunity by providing:

                •              Career-aligned arts and technical training (film, production, digital design, entrepreneurship).

                •              Mentorship and internships that connect students to real professionals and paid opportunities.

                •              College and career pathway guidance for students who may be the first in their families to pursue higher education or industry careers.

                •              Life skills and leadership (training communication, collaboration, discipline, problem solving.)

 Your gift ensures that creativity becomes a pathway to economic mobility, not just a hobby.
