Who We Are....
Established in 2019, Purposely Talented Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that has emerged out of the increasing need for arts to be a part of all communities. Schools today have either significantly reduced the amount of arts education provided to their students or completely removed arts from the curriculum.
Purposely Talented wants to fill the lack of arts by being a community based enrichment company dedicated to providing a fun, positive and safe platform for all to
discover, develop and demonstrate their talent.
The founders and staff of Purposely Talented Foundation loyalty to the art of creativity and belief that all people have some form of talent translates to the mission of the company.
Purposely Talented mission is to provide the world with a safe, fun and educationally enriched platform to learn and use their talents.
