Arthub strives to provide equal access to art supplies and encourage artistic exploration among teens across the DMV through hosting free pop-up art studios and distributing free art supplies. We have raised $1.3K in funding and oversee 15 branches and a team of 40+ officers & volunteers across the U.S. in VA, NY, MD, GA, OH, D.C., CA, FL, and NC, dedicated in raising art supplies and distributing them to visual arts nonprofits, shelters, churches, and schools with low-funded art programs in their own community & our central branches in the DMV.

iDream of Dance is a nonprofit organization, with chapters throughout the U.S. and Brazil, whose mission is to empower youth through dance and leadership. We hope to host a Churchill Talent Showcase for the Churchill community, and take part in the end-of-year Arts Festival! iDream Churchill (previously the Churchill Dance Club) is committed to performing a variety of dance-related community service activities: such as creating free dance tutorials, collecting reused costumes for schools/children in need, performing in different areas, making podcasts/blog posts, hearing from guest speakers, and holding fundraisers to make dance education accessible for all. We also will learn from some of the best choreographers in the dance industry. Members will also have various opportunities to attend chapter-wide events (e.g., the annual iDream Performance Fundraiser), perform, and make an impact! This not only benefits health, wellness, and mental state, but also empowers members to be leaders and form strong bonds with other members.
