A is for Artist

A IS FOR ARTIST  MAKES MUSIC, ACTIVITIES, VIDEOS & BOOKS THAT FOSTER IMAGINATION, CURIOSITY,  LANGUAGE AND ARTISTIC CREATIVITY, FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR ADULTS. 

KARIM NAGI IS A LIFELONG PERFORMING ARTIST,  SONGWRITER, DESIGNER AND EDUCATOR. HE IMMIGRATED FROM EGYPT TO THE U.S.A. AS A YOUTH, AND OPERATES AT THE INTERSECTION OF CREATIVITY AND CULTURAL AWARENESS. HE HAS PERFORMED OVER 500 SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES, SHARING THIS CULTURE OF CREATIVITY WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN. 

HE DISCOVERED A WANING EMPHASIS ON THE ARTS, AND EXTENSIVE CUTS TO ARTS FUNDING IN SCHOOLS. BUT WHAT HAS NOT DECREASED IS A CHILD'S INNATE ATTRACTION TO THE CREATIVE PROCESS. 

SO KARIM NAGI AND HIS FAMILY ARE LAUNCHING A IS FOR ARTIST  TO HELP CULTIVATE CREATIVITY FOR KIDS AGES 5-10, ALONG WITH THE ADULTS IN THEIR LIVES. THE GOAL IS TO INSPIRE REGULAR ENGAGEMENT IN ARTISTIC WORK, WHICH DEVELOPS CRITICAL THINKING AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS WHILE SUPPORTING A CHILD’S EMERGING INDIVIDUALITY.
