Fokus’d Kreatives is a creative arts apprenticeship created under Get Fokus’d Productions (GFP) that supports Emerging Artists as they develop their artistic craft within the creative arts field. Emerging Artists are presented with opportunities to engage in conceptual projects, earn income, and exhibit their work.
The belief is that engaging Emerging Artists in career building opportunities and highlighting their artistic abilities, motivates them to strengthen their craft and propel them into a pathway of success.

Past Students
“From working with Aitina I have gained a deeper perspective on objects, topics, and situations. I learned to see value in things where others may not see value. Ultimately I have gained access to a part of myself that I would not have known if not for her.”
“During this great experience working with my aunt I’ve learned so much about photography she has help me overcome my fear of doing it and being judged by certain people it was an amazing experience I would do it all over again.”
When Get Fokus’d Productions cultivates and invests in emerging artists we validate their place in the world. The stroke of a pen, a brush of paint on a canvas, or sketch on a notepad are all expressions of the artists’ heart. Artists convey their raw emotions, vivid imaginations, and connection to their surroundings through their art.
