Hire Us

Our team consists of speakers, dance instructors, graffiti muralists, spoken word artists, and deejays/musicians of various styles of music. They are available for performances, conferences, fundraisers, and workshops. Click here to see events we've been involved with in the past.

We don't make a living by being paid for our ministry, but gigs like these assist programs and provide services for charity work we do regularly for training the next generation of artists. Any donation made can be tax deducted and goes into a church supervised account. Get to know us by coming out to events featured on the calendar! We're cool people.

You can book us by contacting dan@urbanartsoutreach.org or text/call (714) 202-7074 during business hours.
