Founded in 2010, Creative World Art Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It specializes in integrated arts education, where professional Teaching Artists, who are professional artists and educators, use art projects to help students understand academic content and find new avenues for expressing what they know. All classes focus on experimentation as well as technique, and students engage with contemporary and historical art, encounter and experiment with materials and creative technologies, then plan and execute their own projects. The program states that it meets every student at their own level and welcomes students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all programs and activities available at the center, and it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational and admissions policies.
Creative World’s mission is to build connections between ideas and communities in the San Gabriel Valley through art education and immersive art experiences. Through its Arts Bridge program, it provides art education to local schools and non-profit youth organizations and currently serves 5 schools in the San Gabriel Valley while developing programs for more. As a not for profit organization, it is committed to serving the community through the Artopia Community Gallery, free art workshops, and family events.
