About the Program
Iconoclast Artists engages with at-risk students to create resilient, empowered, and collaborative individuals. The program is committed to creating learning environments of equitable access that also provide economic and social stability. Iconoclast Artists releases poetry anthologies by their teenage students annually. As published authors, the talented students have the opportunity for their voices to be heard by a diverse community while raising funds for scholarships through donations for the anthologies and other Iconoclast products.
