Ensuring a cycle of creativity, empowerment, and giving
A collaboration between REMO, Inc. and Arts & Services for Disabled, Inc., this initiative emphasizes social entrepreneurship and inclusion. Participants transition from casual art-making to professional fine art techniques, using the drum as their canvas. These unique ArtBEAT Drums, when sold, provide financial support for the artist and further fund the enriching Artbeat for Humanity program.
The Artbeat for Humanity program first engages participants in recreational art-making, then guides participants in a therapeutic art process and then teaches fine art skills. The artists create their own unique story/artwork on a drum canvas (Remo ArtBEAT Drums are designed specifically for this purpose) and the drums are exhibited in galleries and sold, providing income to the artist. Additionally, a donation is made by Remo, Inc. to the Artbeat for Humanity program at Arts & Services for Disabled, Inc. for each Remo ArtBEAt Drum sold.
