Our Pledge

Third Eye Tapestries proudly donates a portion of every sale to Arts Ignite. Founded to help young people develop agency, build critical life skills, and experience the joy of creative expression

In 2006, a group of motivated Juilliard students joined forces with Broadway musical director Mary-Mitchell Campbell to found Artists Striving to End Poverty (ASTEP), created with the belief that every young person has a story and a voice that deserves to be heard.

In 2021, after 15 years of delivering arts programming in the United States and around the world as ASTEP, the organization stepped into its next stage of growth as Arts Ignite. The name is new, but the passion is the same: to help young people find their voice through the joy and potency of making art.
