“Imagine. Believe. Create. Become.”
For more than 30 years, Art Start has supported over 25,000 young people with the help of 12,000 artist educators and volunteers, building a nationally recognized model for transforming lives through the arts. Art Start uses the creative process to nurture the voices, hearts, and minds of youth from communities that have been historically under-resourced.
Through creative workshops, mentorship, and youth-led multimedia projects, Art Start supports young people as they imagine new possibilities for themselves and their communities. Working alongside public schools, youth organizations, alternative sentencing programs, and residences for those experiencing homelessness, they create safe spaces where artistic expression becomes a pathway for personal growth, critical thinking, and healing.
