The foundation began in 2018 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strives to connect youth with their creativity by providing access to programming through granting opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18964 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-1030x648.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-768x483.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-1536x967.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-2048x1289.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-1500x944.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/artfromashes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GIF-Ceremony-APS-AfA-with-check-crazy-pic-705x444.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>On April 25th, 2023, both local and national representatives from Genesis Inspiration Foundation visited the AfA office for a check ceremony, scheduled shortly after we completed a workshop with youth from <a href=\"https:\/\/avenues.aurorak12.org\/\">APS Avenues<\/a>. Typically, APS Avenues workshops are hosted at the school\u2019s location in Aurora, but on April 25, students took a field trip to AfA\u2019s office in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the check ceremony, youth poets stepped up to the mic and shared poems written in three minutes during the workshop that morning. Many heartfelt, powerful poems were shared. Lots of photos later, we are thrilled to be the recipient of this grant and the foundation\u2019s support.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks again to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/genesisinspirationfoundation.org\/\">Genesis Inspiration Foundation<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In March 2023, Genesis Inspiration Foundation reached out to Art from Ashes to learn more about our creative empowerment programs.
