Our Mission
ArtC empowers creative professionals, emerging artists, and youth by providing access to hands-on training, financial support, public platforms, and community-driven experiences. Through educational programs, grants, internships, public art initiatives, and creativity-focused events, we cultivate talent, promote cultural expression, and build sustainable creative careers. Our work bridges inspiration and opportunity—helping creatives of all ages develop their craft, share their voice, and thrive in a supportive creative ecosystem.
Meet the founders of ArtC
Through ongoing youth and career development programs, fundraising events, and grants we support local artists and entrepreneurs, and inspire our community to connect in new and innovative ways.
Funding & Impact
ArtC is supported through individual donations, business sponsorships, competitive grants, and annual fundraising events. Sponsorship tiers encourage recurring community investment. We also pursue grants such as the TACA Catalyst and PNC Foundation, and benefit from in-kind contributions including donated instruments, equipment, and professional services.
Each year, ArtC provides hands-on creative and educational programs that serve dozens of students directly and reach hundreds more through family and community events.
-
Strings, Beats, and Creative Feats (Music Program): 5 guitars and amps built and donated, an original student-produced song, three music classes, and a collaborative student poster.
-
Cultivate (Sustainability & Hydroponics Program): Hydroponic STEM starter kits donated to students, with lessons on sustainability, horticulture, and eco-conscious innovation.
-
Bipolarsphere (Digital Art & Community Program): In partnership with Bipolar Entertainment, we create and sustain a public website for the multi-year Bipolar Sphere project, showcasing digital art, public installations, and student/community collaborations in the arts and technology.
Together, these programs build confidence, creative expression, environmental awareness, and digital literacy, while strengthening ties between students and their communities.
