ArtReach San Diego – Collaborative Visual Arts Programs for Youth

We’re excited to join in on another year of San Diego Gives, a day that brings our community together in a celebration of generosity and support for local nonprofits. As we launch our End of Year giving campaign, we invite you to discover the impactful work we’re doing in the San Diego community. Your support fuels our mission to ignite the creative spark in every young artist and keep our programs accessible to all.

Together, let’s make September 5th a resounding success for our youth whose experience with ArtReach helps them build confidence, take ownership of their unique ideas, and creatively contribute to their communities. Thank you for your commitment to our mission as we continue to grow, inspire, and bring the joy of art to young artists.

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

Artist-led creative youth development workshops outside of normal school hours. Students in non-traditional school settings benefit from a curriculum adjusted for smaller class sizes, a variety of learning needs, and flexible student schedules.

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.
