The Idea

Project Create promotes art participation by providing the resources to encourage creative people who lack the space, supplies, and instruction to express themselves. We want to make art accessible to the entire community. Everybody can be an artist.

The Specifics

Project Create will be an open art studio with supplies that allows clients to learn and develop new skills through instructional classes, create and showcase art at their own pace, and teach classes of their own. All clients, regardless of skill, will be encouraged to learn, create and teach basic art with an emphasis on creating more art participation in their communities. Minors and elderly clients will have free access to the resources, while the general public may participate for a fee.

Initial funds will be used to purchase art supplies to teach students basic painting skills.

This project seems like a great cause with a lot of passion behind it. I can't wait to see how Project Create will change not only the NOLA community but the art community as a whole. Let's get creative!

Thanks so much for the support! NOLA has such an amazing artistic vibe, but unfortunately too few people are behind that rhythm. Spread the creativity!!!

I know that when I was growing up, I always looked forward to going to my art classes every weekend. I'm voting for Project Create because I want today's generation of youth to have that same hands-on opportunity to explore the arts as I did as a kid. This project has amazing potential, can't wait to see it unfold!

Thanks for the support. You truly understand what we are trying to accomplish. The National Endowment for the Arts has put out plenty of research proving how important artistic expression is in our youth (higher grades, lower drop out rates, etc.) - it is our responsibility to make sure students have access to their creativity!
