Frank Hardy is a self – taught artist. Mr. Hardy established the Selma Youth Development Center in July 1989. His vision included using the arts to help in the development of youth and give them alternatives to violence and other ‘street’ related activities. He established 3 major art programs at the youth center: Dance, Visual Art and Music. These art programs, along with amateur boxing, tutoring and computer skills, are offered after school hours and during the summer months to youth in Selma and the surrounding area. Frank currently serves as the executive director of the youth center. One of Frank’s visions includes bridging the gaps between cultures while preserving culture through the arts.
