Help us<br/>build a<br/>creative<br/>future

Kids need the arts like cakes need icing. (And there can never be too much icing.) So we provide extraordinary Visual and Performing Arts opportunities for young people ages 2 to 19 to find their voice and develop self-confidence. As a not-for-profit, we value, support, and encourage diversity in our classrooms and in creative expression. Here, everyone is free to be free.

Vikram Vij Culinary Arts Workshop

In some ways, food can be considered one of the earliest art forms. Cooking is a form of expression. It requires skill, attention, and intention. It's thoughtful. Not only can you imagine the plate as your canvas and food as your medium, cooking is a cultural experience. A form of artistic expression, creativity in the kitchen allows a chef to design an experience for her guests. In the same way an actor interprets the lines in a play or a painter human emotions, a chef can combine their technical skills with their own unique twist to produce delectable dishes
