Who We Are & What We Do
Mission
The Creative Center Foundation exists to support and strengthen The Creative Center by raising funds for capital improvement projects that expand access to the arts for people with disabilities.
We believe creative expression is a powerful pathway to communication, confidence, and connection. Our mission is to ensure that individuals with disabilities have welcoming, accessible, and inspiring spaces where their voices can be seen, heard, and celebrated through the arts.

Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Founded in 1995, The Creative Center Foundation focuses on fundraising for capital improvements that directly enhance the facilities, equipment, and creative environments of The Creative Center.
​
The Creative Center provides a safe and inclusive space where people with disabilities explore painting, sculpture, performance, and mixed media as tools for self-expression and personal growth. The Foundation supports this work by investing in the physical spaces and long-term facility needs that make these programs possible.
​
Through targeted fundraising initiatives, community partnerships, and donor support, we help sustain a creative home where imagination thrives, confidence grows, and every individual is empowered to reach their fullest potential.
