Our Mission -  Have you got heart?
 

"I have imagined such a place all my life, and I am happy to tell you that this place now exists – right here in Southwest Florida ".
Maria Luisa Carter (director).


The following is an excerpt from a speech by Nelson Mandela, who embodies the essence of our mission.

"As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." 

NELSON MANDELA (1993 Nobel Peace Prize winner and receiver one hundred-plus awards over four decades)
Note: We have been inspired by Nelson Mandela’s work.

 

Our Goals

1. Engage the families, individuals and educators of our community in the process of providing a space where they may channel and develop their personal skills at their own pace.

2. Balance and enrich the knowledge children and individulas. Help them to   find their place in the world and relate to others empathically, regardless of race, religion or culture.

3. Help children and families express themselves by means of all forms of art.

4. A part of the tuition paid by our families will go to purchasing art supplies to schools in rural villages and non-profit organizations in underdeveloped countries. The children attending Outside the Box-Studio will be aware of this in order to help them feel they are part of a bigger community, a global community and that they can make a difference in the lives of others.
