facilitating creative expression for all
The Project Shop is a creative incubator and hands-on learning and production facility providing arts education through creative service-learning projects.
Our programs engage student-artists of all ages to express their voices through design development, printmaking, and production skills with access to equipment and instruction in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. We nurture creative expression by empowering participants to artistically address social justice issues, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and facilitating civic engagement.
By articulating and celebrating the power of art we encourage students to actively listen, participate, share, and learn collectively. When students see their lives as part of a larger system, they organically convert apathy and anger into expressive action. Our distinctive programming regards the creative process as a collective force for a better future.

Believing Art Matters.
In solidarity with the Nationwide call to artists (#falloffreedom) to rise up and show up in defense of democracy, a group of courageous community members rose up to inspire and help organize this event. We hosted and offered screenprinting of the Red Card Rights list of constitutional rights (in English and en Español) for citizens and non-citizens alike. We held space for community members to come and celebrate democracy and speak to the founding rights important to them. And we witnessed some amazing moments: two 8th graders reciting the Declaration of Independence from memory; an improvisational dance troupe dancing through the crowd; a drag queen singing a spirited RESPECT in front of the NO KINGS sign; projected video content; collaborative mural making; freedom video tributes; button making galore; and lady liberty painting.
Sign up and Support future activations.

“...whether that is on racial equality, climate awareness, or reproductive healthcare, I would love it for my peers to have the same opportunity and experience of growth as I did. The service-based projects not only allow the younger generation to shine light on current issues, but are also bridges of connections between individuals and the wider community.” - M.Lei CRMS Senior
