Join us for a transformative experience that connects diverse communities, celebrates cultural diversity, and inspires creativity. We can engage with schools, libraries, museums, detention centers, community centers, and community events in various cities and towns throughout the Midwest.
Mission & Vision
Our mission is to use the universal language of music and art to create a transformative experience that connects diverse communities, celebrates cultural diversity, and inspires creativity. We strive to foster a sense of unity and understanding through the power of art and music while promoting local artists, providing mentorship opportunities, and equitable access to the arts for underserved communities.
Our vision is to create a world where art and culture thrive, where people from different backgrounds come together to celebrate their differences and find common ground through the shared experience of rhythm, music, and art. We envision a society that values the arts and recognizes their ability to bring people together, uplift communities, and inspire positive change. Through the Artful Rhythms Tour, we hope to ignite a passion for music and the arts and leave a lasting impact on the communities we visit.

Elijah Stephen
Artist Bio: Elijah Stephen is an American artist and drum circle facilitator whose work is hugely inspired by the dichotomy of corporate culture and family life. Stephen’s work juxtaposes the internal and external realities of life, often highlighting the plight of human beings working aimlessly to reach their fullest potential.
After painting his most notable work, “Take A Stand,” he became recognized as a community activist. He painted the 10ft x 10ft mural on boarded-up windows during the 2020 protest of the George Floyd murder. In 2021, the mural was featured in the Indiana State Museum’s Exhibition “RESPONSE: IMAGES AND SOUNDS OF A MOVEMENT,” which led to local notoriety, more public art opportunities, and multiple retail partnerships with his “Equality” t-shirt line.
Elijah Stephen hosts corporate team-building workshops, school-age programs, intuitive painting classes, and is a keynote speaker.
