Mission
To educate and inspire folks
in the craft of writing, be it
prose or song, the performance of works, spoken or sung.

Looking Ahead
Furthermore, we intend to create venues in and among schools and communities that encourage diverse individual artistic achievement.

Encouragement
A significant ripple effect occurs when attendees form supportive, artistic alliances in their own communities directly because of their inspirational experience at a Springfed Arts event.

Community
The craft of songwriting and the writing of prose and poetry is a solitary one. We offer encouragement and a sense of community meant to inspire productivity and a heightened sensibility in a writer’s pursuits. Through shared information and experience, we feel that attendees will accelerate their own learning process.

Compassion
Nothing beats seeing a Springfed Arts participant whose countenance has lit up like a bulb after recognizing his or her own talent is worthy, is improving, is appreciated, and is respectable and commendable.

Nurturing
Springfed Arts offers workshops and mini-camps for teens, educational opportunities unlike any being offered in their standard high school curriculum. We aim to offer advice and encouragement to young people, deserving and
disadvantaged, who would like to pursue an endeavor in the fields of songwriting and the writing of prose and poetry.
