Program areas at Create Now
Cultural Journeys: Each year we take thousands of children (our students and program participants of partner agencies) to excursions such as, concerts, plays, circuses, museums, film studios tours. Many of these excursions are hosted by premier venues - Hollywood Bowl, Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and LACMA. For many of these kids, it is their first experience of a live performance.
Community Projects & Events - Several times per year we bring together families for festivals and holiday celebrations. Our events feature opportunities to enjoy art and performances, games, food, and lasting gifts for all children. Recently we have launched annual creative career fairs that bring in talented individuals and companies such as Home Depot, Best Buy, and Dreamworks. We also arrange mural projects and talent shows in low income neighborhoods.
Funded Programming - We provide comprehensive arts classes to students in Title 1 schools throughout the region. We work with LAUSD and charter systems to bring programming to students from Pre-K through 12th grade. Our school-based programs include music programs, graphic design, writing, visual arts, and so much more. These programs are offered to youth of all grade levels. Our programs are also seen in group homes, shelters, or other partnering facilities around the city.
