“It’s hard to quantify what we do weekly.

  It’s about discovering an intersection and not being judged or shamed for who you are,

where you’ve been, or what you dream to be.

It’s about basking in that intersection of individuality and feeling supported enough to share.

The common result is beyond the accolades, or collaborative shows we book,

or even the artists that we are evolving in to - its a space bettering our human.”—Arianna Basco | FOUNDER

how we work

CORE VALUES

INTEGRITY. ALIGNMENT. COURAGE.

LOYALTY. FARE EXCHANGE. YOU SHINE I SHINE.

PALMS UP. RESPECT YOURSELF.

PERMISSION TO BE. RECEIVE. ABUNDANCE.

SUPPORT. COMMUNITY.

“We as a collective work as effectively as we can, utilizing everyone’s individual talents but also realizing that our strength is beyond the sum of its parts. We value the process as well as the end goal. Palms Up Academy works trains artists to become better artists but more importantly, trains artists to develop their humanity.” —dre magix

 

“THE IMPACT THAT ART CLASS FOR CREATIVES HAS HAD ON ITS STUDENTS IS EMPOWERING VOICES BY GIVING THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES AND PERMISSION TO SPEAK UP. IT PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR INDIVIDUALS TO DISCOVER AND DEVELOP THE DEPTHS OF THEIR HUMANITY. IT TAKES THE STUDENTS AS SERIOUS AS THEY CHOOSE TO TAKE THEMSELVES.”
