Give Today and help us create a brighter, more creative future for San Diego’s youth.
ArtReach programs ignite creativity and foster connection by bringing relevant, contemporary visual arts practices into classrooms and communities. Through artmaking, young people find a powerful outlet to express themselves, process emotions, and build self-esteem—all while forming bonds with their peers in a nurturing yet inspiring environment.
Each year, thousands of young artists across San Diego experience the transformative power of creativity through ArtReach’s vibrant murals, engaging workshops, and meaningful artistic experiences. These moments don’t just inspire—they strengthen our communities and spark the potential within every young person.
Your support makes this possible. Every donation fuels our mission, providing more young people with the opportunity to express themselves, build confidence, and discover their artistic voices. As we approach the end of the year, we invite you to make an impact by contributing to our Annual Fundraising campaign. Together, we can ensure that creativity continues to thrive and that every young artist in our community has access to these life-changing experiences.
ArtReach ignites youth creativity through visual arts expression and community connection.
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS
Visual arts education programs during normal school hours. Artmaking provides a conduit for igniting the creativity that already resides within, helps students process and express feelings, fosters community with peers, and builds self-esteem.
MURAL PROGRAMS
Collaborative youth-driven murals at schools and community sites. Murals provide an opportunity for youth to work alongside their peers with a professional Mural Artist while creating something transformative and lasting for their community.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Community Programs focus on craft and process-based visual arts programming for youth outside of school settings, local community organizations, and visual arts workshops for kids, teens, families, and adults in the broader San Diego community.
SPARK PROGRAMS
SPARK brings art expertise into classrooms, partnering local artists with teachers to create custom projects that align with various subjects. Students engage in collaborative art projects that foster creativity, personal perspectives, and relationship-building skills.
LEARNING PORTAL
A dynamic resource that brings the ArtReach experience to you. Designed to go beyond geographical barriers and schedule limitations, it brings the joy of creating to students wherever they are, through skill-building worksheets, student resources, educator guides, and supply lists.
