Mission
To engage the community, children and youth with empowering life messages through the arts.
Vision
To promote love, hope and healing in all communities.
History
The Good Foot Arts Collective was founded in 2005 in Seattle WA by Louie and May Praseuth. They felt the need to engage and build up others in the community who share common values and passions in using artistic expression to benefit the community, children and youth. They desire to create safe avenues for young people through various classes, workshops, performances, showcases, public events, and professional productions locally and internationally. Through their leadership and mentoring, they have been effective in raising up community minded and culturally relevant artists for the next generation.
What We Do
The Good Foot Arts Collective offers a variety of services. We customize our focus to fit any event whether at school assemblies, community outreaches, dance workshops, cafe art showcases, or producing professional productions.
