ASAP, the After School Arts Program, affirms young people as persons of value, nurtures their skill and talent in the arts, helps them realize their artistic gifts, and broadens their awareness of varieties of artistic expression. Begun in the fall of 2007 as an outreach ministry of St. John’s Lutheran Church in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, ASAP offers quality after-school enrichment programming in visual, musical/performing, literary, dramatic, culinary and other applied arts for select 1st through 8th graders attending Des Moines Public Schools. ASAP works to ensure that its students’ arts education is both deeply and broadly enriched through their participation in the program. In 2009, Arts for the City, Inc., was created as an independent 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization to administer ASAP, its flagship program. Donations to ASAP are fully tax-deductible.
