HISTORY

Palms Up Academy was founded by Arianna Basco in September of 2018. 

Arianna Basco is a poet, author, and overall genuine artist with a very unique creative vision. She has been a leader, teacher, host, performing artist and holder of space for diverse communities. 

Recess Mic was the first program for Palms Up Academy. Recess mic is a weekly open mic which welcomes everyone to share their artistry and creative journey in a safe space. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual version of this mic was formed: Recess 9@9.

Palms Up Academy also runs educational programming through Art Class for Creatives, a weekly class taught by Arianna for artists to dive deeper into their craft and grow not just as artists but as people. This work is continued in Circles and Chords - both are weekly workshops offered to those in our community, and taught by those in our community.
