WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

When people experience trauma in their lives, the process of healing and recovery can be complicated. Often, the pain from the memories and scars is too difficult to be spoken or even written. Self-expression through the arts and music helps to heal wounds and pave paths for recovery unlike anything else. It allows children and adults to be themselves, free of judgment and fear.

Studies have shown that creating art decreases levels of anxiety, lowers blood pressure and increases feelings of security and well-being. It heightens the feelings of love and happiness. The process of collaborating on artistic projects with other people helps develop awareness and increases compassion, resulting in a deep sense of community and empowerment.

Additionally, long-term benefits of expression through the arts and music help create a more positive self-image by developing confidence and curiosity, which are the keys to progress and success in the world.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR WORK

Premier Arts Collective is forging a new path to serve survivors of trauma, abuse and oppression. We fulfill our mission by partnering with passionate artists, musicians and organizations around the world who are committed to healing and hope.

Premier Arts Collective was born from the work of the Premier Foundation, an international Christian charity committed to being a voice for the disadvantaged. Since 1998, the Premier Foundation has existed to love and serve the impoverished by meeting their physical, spiritual, educational, social and emotional needs; thus, empowering them to be agents of change in their own communities.

When we show the love of Christ in tangible ways, such as through the arts and music, barriers are broken down, people are healed, and communities are restored. We provide critical art and musical experiences with independent therapeutic programming to aid in recovery and restoration for those in need of hope. Healing and empowerment of those we serve are fundamental goals resulting in transformed communities.

Headquartered in South Carolina and reaching worldwide, Premier Arts Collective is the nonprofit arm of Premier Productions, Premier Vacations & Events and Premier Festivals.
