By engaging in artmaking, young people are encouraged to tap into their inherent creativity, process and express their emotions, and cultivate self-esteem within a supportive yet challenging environment.

Free Programs for Title I Schools
ArtReach offers free visual arts programs to elementary schools that lack the financial resources to fund a visual arts program for their students. Additionally, all San Diego County schools with a Title I designation are eligible to receive an ongoing discount on total program costs. Learn more here.
Mural Program
ArtReach believes in the transformative power of community and art to make a positive impact on people’s lives and spaces. The ArtReach Mural Program works directly with youth at schools and community centers to dream up large-scale, collaborative works that represent their vision. Learn more here.
