Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Bay area creative supports positive change through creative and expressive arts that uphold cultures, provide therapeutic benefits, and to enhance communication skills primarily in underrepresented communities. We are driven by our resolute mission to actively disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline, champion marginalized cultures, and carve out a sanctuary for unbridled self-expression.

Bay area creative provides opportunities for creative expression and development of communication skills through work in spoken word programs with predominantly families of color in underserved neighborhoods in the san Francisco bay area of California.
