With support from the California Arts Council, Create Now will fulfill its equity-centered mission to reach young artists facing the highest barriers to arts education and creative expression. Our year-round, no-cost arts programming helps transform the lives of Los Angeles’ most vulnerable youth (ages 3-24) by fostering a love for the arts across diverse backgrounds. Create Now partners with local schools and charitable organizations to provide arts education, and experiences. Our equity model unites schools, social services, and professional artist mentors to deliver arts education directly to the most vulnerable. We also host vibrant arts festivals, giving under-served youth a platform to showcase their talents along with our Cultural Journeys program. By prioritizing equity and cultural relevance, Create Now helps youth discover their artistic voices and thrive in a diverse, inclusive creative world.
