ABOUT ART START
Art Start uses the creative process to nurture the voices, hearts, and minds of youth from communities that have been historically marginalized. Through creative workshops, mentorship and youth-led multimedia projects, art becomes the starting point of a larger life process, and the start of larger conversations about the future of our communities.
We work with public schools, youth organizations, alternative sentencing programs, and residences for those experiencing homelessness.
