Organization Summary

Creative Crossing Co-Create is a grassroots organization which provides murals to the public in underserved and underutilized communities with the help of our volunteer artists. Artists are provided paint and supplies for projects. In addition, new artists are mentored by lead artists to design and complete murals. Many artists have never completed a mural before volunteering with Creative Crossing Co-Create. We promote local artists to help them resume build, along with teach them skills to market and network themselves. Finally, we buy art supplies from local vendors to help promote our local economy.
