Our mission is to equip Baltimore’s youth with expressive tools and provide safe, inclusive programming that helps shapes their creative identities, is culturally relevant, empowers  youth-driven ideas, and builds pathways for leadership and community transformation through the arts.

We do this by:

1.) Providing during & afterschool arts-enrichment opportunities (art clubs, choir clubs, START, etc.)

2.) Engaging residents and activating the arts in W. Baltimore via our ARTreach initiative

3.) Cultivating safe spaces for youth to learn creative pathways to amplify their creative voices. (mentorship opportunities, Create 4 Spring Break, summer camp collab, etc.)

We value:

Parity: We prioritize access to arts for youth in underserved communities, ensuring inclusivity and representation.

Youth Empowerment: We elevate youth voices, enabling them to lead creative initiatives and advocate for meaningful community change.

Social Advocacy: We empower young voices to spark social change through creative expression and community-driven advocacy.

Collaboration: We believe in the collective power of partnerships with schools, families, and local organizations to sustain impactful programming.

Cultural Awareness: We celebrate and incorporate Baltimore’s diverse cultures and histories into our arts education approach.

Create 4 Spring Break (C4SB) is a vibrant, full-day arts camp designed especially for children ages 6–11. Throughout the week, campers explore a variety of art forms like painting, music, dance, and theater through engaging, hands-on workshops. Our goal is to foster creativity, build confidence, ignite a creative spark, and help young artists shine. The camp wraps up with a special showcase where campers present their work to family and friends!

✨ This year’s theme is Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory!

Campers will step into a world of pure imagination—where creativity runs wild and every day brings a new adventure. Inspired by the magic and lessons of Wonka’s world, students will explore bold creativity, strong character, and the power of teamwork.

Through hands-on activities, they’ll create candy-colored artwork, design imaginative props, and bring stories to life through music, movement, and performance. Each day will feel like finding a golden ticket—full of color, discovery, and joy.

More than just art, campers will build confidence, form friendships, and unlock their own creative brilliance.

Create 4 Spring Break continues our mission to empower Baltimore youth through creativity, mentorship, and meaningful arts experiences—one imaginative moment at a time. 🍫🎨🎭
