About this Organization
CREATE Arts Center has provided art classes, art therapy and community outreach across the metro region since 1986. We offer classes and workshops for all ages and levels of experience. CREATE’s K-12 art education programs foster academic, social and emotional development for students, while finding joy in artistic expression. Art therapy helps individuals of all ages create meaning and insight into health ways to cope with overwhelming emotions, trauma, resolve problems, enrich daily life, and achieve an increased sense of well-being.
To level the playing field for access and inclusion to our visual art programming, CREATE provides free and reduced fee services, to traditionally marginalized constituencies, including people living on low-and-fixed-incomes.
Too often, the people most in need of CREATE’s programming, particularly people struggling with mental health challenges and developmental disabilities, are those least able to afford them. CREATE is committed to serving all members of our community through innovative, inclusive, equitable and meaningful programs that positively impact individual lives, families and communities.
