OUR STORY

Project_RIPPLES was created by high school artists with the aim to use creativity as an outlet of service. Art allows kids to express themselves in ways words can’t. Our workshop program was created to give kids the opportunity to explore not only art, but also their own thoughts and emotions. At the end of our workshops, we put on a gallery to display the kids’ artworks to the surrounding community.

Our most recent workshop, LOVE LETTERS was held at the historic Rialto Theater in South Pasadena. Details about the event can be found at projectripples.org/loveletters.

We plan to work with another organization this fall to bring our workshop program to more students. So please, support and follow along the journey!

  • Our goal is to make an impact in our communities using creativity as an outlet of service.

  • Volunteers lead workshops that help other young artists develop their skills and interest in art. At the end of the workshops, a gallery will be held featuring art created by the young artists.

  • This project is created and led by high school artists who want to pass forward the opportunities given to us that sparked our love for art. We believe that behind every child is endless creativity and talent. With this program, younger students will also be encouraged in their future art endeavors. Additionally, art is a safe place for children to express their emotions and inner thoughts that words can't describe. Through the program, the kids involved will learn more about art, creative thinking, and ultimately themselves.
