“Building community through Creative Expression! ”
Creative Expressions
was founded in 2012 as a tool for education reform through the arts.
We believe that everyone is a creative who can act as both teacher and student. Rather than offering cookie cutter programming we customize each participant centered course to meet the needs of the site, organization and staff we work with. Using our “Cypher Pedagogy” method we dismantle the traditional “Banking Model” of education by creating a community for Creative Expression in both in person and virtual settings.
The Artivist Training course utilizes art + activism to to activate our organism to its highest potential. The course empowers us to thrive doing what we love by fusing our skillset with purpose and intention.
“Don’t take for Granted” is a workshop created to demystify the grant writing process for creatives looking to obtain funding for their work and serve the community.
