Who We Are
We believe art has the power to reveal issues that policies and institutions too often ignore. And who better to be at the head of this movement for a better future than the youth? Canvas for Change is a youth-led nonprofit that sponsors young artists and donates art supplies to low-income schools to support the next generation of creative innovators. Additionally, we partner with elementary schools through our Spotlight Project, where our leaders will teach students how to spot, address, and repair problems in their local communities.

Printmaking, painting, sculpture, collage, digital design and more — rotating each week so students can sample multiple mediums before choosing their final project.
Final Project
