Description

CREATE offers an in-depth arts program aimed at students determined to be at risk and selected by the school based on their academic needs and their interest in participating in an afterschool arts club. At the end of each semester each group holds an arts show for parents, teachers and friends.

The smARTkids program aims to increase self-esteem, academic performance and social skills of upper elementary and middle school students who have been determined to be at risk. It enriches the students' after-school experience, contributes to developing focus and concentration, and has been successful in improving the children's attitude towards self, school, and learning by giving them a sense of accomplishment and pride through the completion of art projects, and being a valued member of a group.

CREATE Arts Center also offers a wide variety of art classes for people of all different ages and stages of life. We hope to be able to create with you at CREATE!
