Life is Valuable; not only an introspective motto to live and work by, but the meaning behind the uplifting mentorship program, LIV, founded by Peter Rango & Gabriel Williams in the Tri-Cities area. LIV’s undeniable momentum has brought their hands-on “Dream Labs” to Petersburg schools, such as Lakemont Elementary, pairing mentors with young students to teach early skills in audio engineering, music creation, and most importantly, that the doors to creativity are open for everyone.

Yesterday we got the chance to setup a mobile Dream Lab experience at Artober Fest presented by CultureWorks. Here, festival attendees got a chance to create with our mentors, create AI art, and learn more about our Dream Lab program we’re developing in Petersburg, VA.

Why LIV?
