About

Incorporated in 2007, Artportunity Knocks took their relationship with the community and combined it with their relationship with the arts to form one of Georgia's Award Winning School of the Arts After-School  and Summer programs. Our mission is to empower youth through Positive Arts Self-Expression (PASE), Education, and Service. Students gain in depth knowledge in the arts comparable to what some may learn in college.

Artportunity Knocks became the catalyst for change in their communities. "I was tired of people complaining about the negativity existing in music. I wanted to be a part of the solution and teach kids how to create positive music that the whole family could listen to," said Chris Woods, Founder of Artportunity Knocks. Through the arts, they've inspired, motivated, and exchange information that sparked hope in these under served youth. It is their passion and their heart to give youth an opportunity of a lifetime! They believe they have created a unique approach (niche) to reaching this generation: loving mentorship, positive arts self-expression, and most of all ART OPPORTUNITIES!
