ALL OUR KIDS

AOK is a nonprofit organization with programming in Wellfleet, MA and Washington DC that increases equity and opportunity for young, emerging artists from underserved backgrounds by helping them build supportive and nourishing relationships and community, increase their artistic skills, find spaces to make and show their work and develop their ability to make a living in the creative economy... With the help of an amazing community, we helped the first generation of young AOK artists get through high school, get their GEDs, and get into college. We found them tutors and mentors, paid for tuition, helped them apply for scholarships, internships and jobs. We found them computers, bikes and phones, put them on our phone plans, bought them canvases and paint, provided space for them to make and show their work, fed them and let them stay with us, for months and even years at a time, when they had nowhere else to go. We hosted-and still host-regular dinners for all who care to come-a range..
