DNA is a youth-led social enterprise that provides an innovative space for children to utilize their strengths, discover their identities, find meaning in the community and explore the world connections through the process of art and design.
OUR PROGRAMS
Discovering New Artists (DNA) through its flagship project Art for Change and The Art for Change Atelier provides equal access to arts education for all. These projects not only bridge the gap between the marginalized children and those that have greater access to education and resources but also enable these young learners of 4-18 years of age from all economic backgrounds to develop creativity, open-mindedness, and confidence to present solutions to SDGs and global issues through their arts.
DNA uses modern art influences from international and Pakistani artists from various eras to bring value education and inclusion into one platform using arts and digital learning methods along with promoting solutions to SDGs through artworks made by students. It has also allowed thousands of students an opportunity to showcase their out-of-the-box thinking and creative abilities through their art to thousands of exhibition attendees locally and internationally through multiple exhibitions.
