The ArtReach team is building relationships with community partners like you!
Why ArtReach?
ArtReach believes all young people deserve equal access to creative opportunities. Thousands of students in San Diego County schools have no access to visual arts education programs. ArtReach shrinks that gap by connecting youth from underserved communities to our free/low-cost residency and mural programs.
Artmaking provides a conduit for igniting the creativity that already resides within each young person, helps students process and express feelings, fosters community with their peers, and builds self-esteem in a supportive yet challenging environment.

How does your support impact our programs?
Support from community partners provides ArtReach the means to create free and low-cost art opportunities for youth at schools and community sites throughout San Diego County. Your investment guarantees that no child will ever pay for art lessons, and in turn builds a lasting and meaningful creative experience for young artists that would not otherwise have the resources.
2022-2023 donor impact:

“It was a great experience to collaborate with ArtReach on this inspiring mural. We wanted to add a sense of light and life to this previously blank space outside of the property’s community room. While the finished product is beautiful, the best part was watching our team and community come to work together on this project.”
-Justin Krueger, MFRG-ICON Construction CEO
“Partnering with ArtReach felt like a natural fit, their belief in the transformative power of hands-on artmaking and creative practice as a part of education dovetails with Gensler’s goal to support organizations and efforts that foster the well-being of children. We cannot say enough about the truly passionate staff and the beautiful relationships they have with teaching artists – the entire experience was wonderful. These students and schools are so lucky to have people like ArtReach bringing creative experiences to their students and art to their campuses.”
-Kara West, Gensler San Diego
“Partnering with ArtReach San Diego was an easy decision for us due to their stellar reputation for involving local groups in every step of the process, ensuring their stories are accurately portrayed. Josué and the ArtReach team exceeded our expectations by actively engaging the City Heights community throughout our project. The result is a breathtaking mural series that beautifully captures the diverse spirit, culture, and essence of the neighborhood. We could not be more thrilled with the finished product!”
-Cara Vereschagin, Project Manager, Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation
