OUR PROJECTS

ABOUT US
The James R. Halsey Foundation of the Arts, in partnership with the community and corporate support, enriches the quality of life for youths (ages 14 to 20) by providing a safe and educational environment where participants in our programs are inspired and encouraged toward a better future. This initiative is accomplished by promoting and guiding participants/students through the creative processes involved in the art of filmmaking, and by providing life-skills training in business and the arts.
We believe that art -- specifically filmmaking -- is a therapy and a common language that expands our minds and bridges the gaps between different generations and socioeconomic barriers.
A 501c3 nonprofit organization, the James R. Halsey Foundation of the Arts provides alternatives to sports programs for youths who wish to pursue a creative outlet. We have created a safe community of support and encouragement in the midst of a stimulating course curriculum.
"Don't underestimate the power of the arts and creativity for their healing power and ability to change lives."
- Joseph A. Halsey, Founder, James R. Halsey Foundation of the Arts
