LEGACY
Heronidas New Generation Corp.
Building the next generation of artists, thinkers, and leaders.
Art as a Path Forward
Heronidas New Generation Corp. was established on a single conviction: that access to the arts is not a luxury — it is a necessity. We exist to ensure that young people from underserved communities have the tools, mentorship, and opportunities to discover and develop their creative potential.
Through education, mentorship, and community programming, we work to close the gap between talent and opportunity — and to build a generation that creates, leads, and leaves something behind.
"A world where every young person — regardless of background, zip code, or circumstance — has access to the transformative power of art, and the mentorship to turn that power into a life's work."
How We Work

Free and subsidized arts education programs in photography, music, visual arts, and digital media for youth ages 12–22. Delivered in partnership with schools, community centers, and cultural institutions.

One-on-one and group mentorship connecting young creatives with established artists, photographers, musicians, and entrepreneurs. Structured 12-month cohorts with career development support.
