GUARDIAN ANGEL ARTS CENTER MISSION Our mission is to educate students by allowing them the opportunity to use their imaginations, talents and abilities to create a brighter future by instilling self esteem and strong social values.

Imagination “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” --Albert Einstein Art Camp 2010

Finding that Spark What is that one thing that will turn on a light bulb? What will open up a child’s eyes to the possibilities for them? Giving a child the chance to explore, learn and imagine.
