Our Community Arts Program

Through our arts program,we create positive spaces for artist in the community and abroad to come and share their artistic skills.Our most famous is our 1st Tuesday’s Spoken Word television showcase event @1sttuesdaysspokenword.com.This event is a collaboration of Big mouth productions,LSO,and local restaurant Radio Africa and Kitchen all community based!Here we provide poets,storytellers,singers,and other artist with a safe open nonjudgmental space to share their artistic abilities.We’ve created an art collective,where we collaborate with multiple artist and connect individuals with different types of artist for training sessions in their art form of choice.New artist after training will have a opportunity to be showcased or have their artwork presented at a 1st Tuesday’s event or other art platform.The platform also acts as a fundraiser tool for the LSO program,using the showcase to bring awareness to the artist,business,and community.We’ve featured a multitude of artists through our arts program,some that have even gone on to do great things in the art realm.”Mindful Expressions” is the guideline for our arts program(nurturing mental wellness through art),fostering mental wellness through various art forms.Participants are invited to explore and engage with poetry, comedy,music,and other creative expressions in supportive and non-judgmental environments.Through the power of artistic expression, individuals can tap into their emotions, connect with others, and find solace and healing.
