Fokus’d Kreatives is a creative arts apprenticeship program developed by Aitina Fareed-Cooke, Founder and CEO of Get Fokus’d Productions (GFP), in order to support Emerging Artists in honing their artistic skills within the creative arts field. The program provides Emerging Artists (ages 16-25) with various paid project-based opportunities, often tailored to support their unique artistic and professional needs.
By engaging in career-building activities and emphasizing their artistic talents, the program aims to motivate Emerging Artists to refine their craft and pave the way for their success within the creative arts industry.

Testimonials
“Through the Fokus’d Kreatives opportunity I was able to travel to DC to perform, do photographic documentation, and lobby for policies geared towards addressing the racial wealth gap.”
“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 I’ve learned so much about photography, Aitina 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.
