HHAC Mission: To unify communities and generations through positive, inspirational, interactive performing arts and culture.
Due to its positive, awe-inspiring, unifying nature, which has valued and transcended generational, individual, cultural and communal differences from past eras until present day, the original elements of Hip Hop culture (dance, music, rap and graffiti art) are utilized along with the integration of technology to create a STEAM based experience suitable for all ages (study of the humanities, language arts, dance, drama, music, visual arts, design, new media and more)

Recap
- SPARK (INSPIRE. EMPOWER. IGNITE.) Artist Empowerment Program
SPARK artists in Las Vegas
with a behind the scenes and interactive experience with ILUMINATE production and in LA as a part of the Janet30 reunion masterclass with mentor / legendary choreographer, Tina Landon in 2023. SPARK artist also were a a part of the Break Thru experience artist development classes with Tina Landon and iconic Janet and Michael Jackson dancer, Jimmy Locust, in Atlanta.
This artist empowerment series was created in an effort to provide more opportunity for extraordinary artists to obtain commissions and international collaborative opportunities for both choreography and performance, while providing a platform and supportive, creative space to develop their works. Upon the artist's acceptance to program participation, they utilize research through self-motivated experiences and our program opportunities (master classes, mentorship and community engagement with dance/ music pioneers and civil rights leaders as well as through the accumulation of historical data via various cultural experiences) to create their works for the culminating performance locally and possibly for several other cities and/ or states in the form of a collaborative production with their assigned artist development mentor(s).
Established in 2016, in collaboration with the Dunham Institute, the ongoing community initiative, "A Day of Respect" honors "unsung" luminaries in the field of Education, Law, Medicine, Entertainment and Arts & Culture in the local and national communities through workshops, panel discussions, and an awards gala which includes acknowledgement of awardee achievements by local community leaders and special performing arts tributes by community artists.
