First Person Arts (FPA)

=== Our Mission: ===

First Person Arts transforms the drama of real life into memoir and documentary art to foster appreciation for our unique and shared experience. We believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that sharing our stories connects us with each other and the world.

=== Our History: ===

First Person Arts was founded in 2000 as Blue Sky by Vicki Solot, in response to the burgeoning interest in memoir and documentary art forms. Solot appreciated the resonance of real stories and recognized their value as a means of bridging cultural and ethnic divides. With the involvement of a visionary board, First Person Arts set out to support the development of new memoir and documentary work and to create opportunities for it to be seen and appreciated. We have reached across cultures and communities to attract a broad and diverse audience; and have played an important role in exploring and celebrating the richness of the mixed heritage and shared history of everyday Americans. 

The First Person Community Writing Project is a series of free writing workshops consisting of six 2-hour writing sessions, provided to groups who would otherwise not have access to programs of this kind. These workshops create a supportive setting in which participants can share their life stories, while also giving them the tools to write these stories. Participants have included at-risk youth, prison inmates and senior citizens in nursing homes.
