Blue Owl Coffee/ Ready Set ASPIRE Art Wall Collaboration
The Blue Owl Coffee Art Wall has been a long-standing feature that showcases artists from Greater Lansing since the opening of their first shop in ReoTown, Lansing. We are delighted to partner with them to curate installations that inspire hope and create opportunities for our community to be introduced to amazing artists with a passion to spark joy and empower the next generation in their own unique way.
The Ready Set ASPIRE team selects the artists to curate installations that will have the opportunity to travel between all three shops, spending a minimum of one month at each Blue Owl Coffee location.
Applications are open for those who would like to be considered. Don't miss your chance to showcase your talent and connect with art enthusiasts! Additionally, there will be a special installation featuring young local artists (ages 18 and under), so they are encouraged to apply (parent/guardian approval required if selected). Click here to find out more information and fill out the submission form. For up to date announcements, follow Ready Set ASPIRE and Blue Owl Coffee on Instagram! Applicants will be contacted individually if selected.
Holistic Relationship Education
As holistic relationship educators, we aim to educate, equip, and empower individuals by utilizing a primary prevention health model and social-emotional learning techniques. It strives to foster a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected aspects of relationships with others and oneself, while providing valuable information, support, and resources to enhance optimal health.
“…Fostering a world of self-aware, value-aligned, healthy, happy, well-equipped individuals.”
“ASPIRE does far more for the students and community than simply teaching sex education. This organization advocates for the optimal health of all students. Every student deserves to be given accurate, age-appropriate, relevant, and unbiased information, as well as support and compassion, as they navigate the world as emerging adults. This is more than reducing or avoiding risky behaviors. This is about fostering a world of self-aware, value-aligned, healthy, happy, and well-equipped individuals. The work done by ASPIRE Relationship Education (Ready Set ASPIRE) takes us one step closer to this world: a world of healing, compassion, respect, safety, and love.”

“I wish I would have had this a lot sooner, it would have helped me through one of my most recent relationships.”
“I really appreciate this program, and it’s given amazing information that I will definitely be able to use later on in life. If I decide to have kids AFTER I get married (if I get married), I hope they have this program too.”
