About F.O.K.U.S.
F.O.K.U.S. uses the arts to unite, inspire and empower diverse communities. This is accomplished through the production of events, workshops and the publication of INSIGHT, our quarterly arts magazine.
Since 2003, we have been creating exciting spaces for people to explore creativity and widen their appreciation for the arts.
F.O.K.U.S. is an organization led by young adults that highlights the importance of and need for the arts and creativity in life. We believe the arts enable people to rise above barriers in society by creating new ways of thinking, communicating and interacting.
“When we made hip hop, we made it hoping it would be about peace, love and unity and having fun, so that people could get away from the negativity that was plaguing our streets, like gang violence, drug abuse, self-hate, and racism.”
