Art in Communities

Seasonal Activity

At Pulse Arts, we wholeheartedly believe in the power of numbers. We forge partnerships with organizations that share our mission to empower students through art education. Our commitment to providing free or low-cost activities underscores our dedication to supporting and empowering youth and communities, both locally and beyond.

Beats Lyrics Leaders is a group of passionate mentors dedicated to creating opportunities for young adults and youth to excel. Their mission is to empower communities through music, business skill development, and providing a creative outlet. They focus on beat making, lyric writing, and recording in an accessible way, with the ultimate vision of helping students reach their full potential.

Strength In Our Community

Our community is taking action to support Pulse Arts students. Manifesting M.E. Wellness and our teachers have come together to launch Art Therapy in our schools. With the oversight, the Manifesting M.E. Wellness practitioner collaborates with our art teachers to create and implement a powerful therapeutic art curriculum that integrates holistic mental-emotional learning and art therapy techniques into art classes for students. Manifesting M.E. Wellness introduces a holistic, culturally competent approach to delivering age-appropriate psycho education on recognizing and managing emotions and common mental health challenges. They will empower students to use art as a means to reflect on, process, and release emotions, while guiding them in developing strong coping and self-regulation practices to boost emotional intelligence and improve mental-emotional well-being. In addition, the therapists will be on hand to promptly address any mental health crises and provide essential counseling or connect students with additional mental health support resources as necessary.

Our organization actively partners with communities in which our children reside. In April, Pulse Arts students from Marlton School for the Deaf unequivocally collaborated with DAANSEKOU Cultural Arts Collective to interpret the profound “Solace of Rhythm”. The students seized a unique and empowering opportunity to immerse themselves in the powerful healing effects of drum therapy, orchestrating a symphony of healing alongside other participants, thereby experiencing the profound impact of this transformative experience.

49th Annual Conference of Black Administrators

Pulse Arts, in collaboration with DAANSEKOU Cultural Arts Collective and the West African Drum and Dance program, organized a truly remarkable event. The 49th Annual Conference of Black, West African Drum and Dance program was designed to highlight the therapeutic benefits of drumming, with the theme of “Finding Solace in Rhythm.”

One of the highlights of the event was the participation of the Marlton School for the Deaf middle school class. The students were given a unique opportunity to experience the healing power of drum therapy and were able to fully immerse themselves in the symphony of healing created by the other participants.

The program showcased the immense power of drum therapy, not only to heal the body but also the soul. The event demonstrated how coming together to create a symphony of healing can lead to a healthier self. The participants were able to connect with one another through their shared love of music, and they left the event feeling inspired and rejuvenated.
