Breaking Walls exists to bring arts education and leadership skill-building to diverse communities of young people starting in the United States and reaching out across the globe. Through its innovative programming and skilled artistic mentors, young participants utilize creative activism and peacemaking models to produce original pieces of literary, visual, and vocal art, instrumental music, dance, and ensemble performances. Breaking Walls ultimately seeks to create a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and justice-oriented global community by bringing together young people through its art and activism programming.
