James R Halsey Foundation of the Arts

The James R. Halsey Foundation of the Arts, in partnership with the community, enriches the quality of life for youth (ages 14 to 20) by providing a safe and educational environment where participants are inspired and encouraged toward a better future.

The Foundation fosters an interest in the creative process as it relates to the art of filmmaking and provides life-skills training that promotes success in business and the arts.

We believe that art -- specifically filmmaking -- is therapeutic and provides a common language that gives us the opportunity to expand our minds, bridging the gap between generations and breaking down socioeconomic barriers.
