The Imagination Project

Why?

The Imagination Project is important to us for many reasons; the most important being the communities and unique individuals that we serve. 

Studies have shown that art education dramatically improves academic success. Art also allows us to nurture diversity as individuals and establish a connection to our cultural context. Now more than ever art and creativity is essential in promoting adaptability and critical thinking. In a world saturated with media it is imperative that we teach our children and remember as adults to think for ourselves. At The Imagination Project our primary goal is to foster confidence and empowerment through art making. 

We must make what we most need to find
