Created 2 Create: Infusing Artistic Concepts with Life Lessons

The foundation of this series of courses derives from the concept of “all humans are created from nothing to something” and will focus on both the metaphysical (the creation) and physical (the creator) aspects of the creative process. Simply put, the curriculum will encompass a series of guided, themed painting sessions for therapeutic recreation in addition to an artist talk led by one of our in-house Artbae artists.  As our organization encompasses a plethora of talented creatives whom have made both a local and nationwide impact, it is our desire that we can impart wisdom within a future cohort of creatively-inspired leaders and encourage all individuals to pursue their passion within the multitude of arts industries.

In addition and to aid in the therapeutic process of art-making, Artbae strongly encourages the inclusion of a live music component to the art therapy lesson, since we strongly believe that music aids in the enhancement of memory and the reduction of stress and pain. Artbae has partnerships with local musicians whom we would love to leverage in order to provide them the opportunity to explore their craft and to bring an acoustic vibe to the Created 2 Create experience.

Artbae is currently in partnership with The U.S. Dream Academy to deliver this curriculum in an effort to aid their mission in empowering those children most at risk of incarceration to believe in themselves and to succeed.
