Igniting youth creativity through visual arts expression and community connection
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 with 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 who do not otherwise have the resources.
2022-2023 donor impact:
- 29 Artist Residencies
- 17 Collaborative Murals
- 22 Community Workshops
- 8,514 Youth Participants

Hear from one of our community partners:
“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
