What do we do?
Bringing People Together
CKSRQ functions to broker creativity based educational events between “Creative Partners'' within the CKSRQ network. “Creative Partners” are various unique entities who offer a diverse pool of complementary resources. CKSRQ works with hosting partners to cultivate hands-on workshops, youth art exhibitions, and "art-centric" educational experiences .
Community Support
Impactful Initiatives
Furthering our cause is the most important goal of our organization. We seek to support, empower, and provide high-quality resources to the community. Our success isn't measured in terms of wealth or profit margin, but by the value we provide to those we serve. Learn more about what we do below.
Acting with Intention
Creative Kids SRQ is a private foundation that aims to highlight the importance of adolescent creativity through widespread art exhibitions, creative educational workshops, and festival events. Through carefully cultivated programming and outreach, we can personally contribute to a more vibrant, inclusive cultural landscape for the future of the Sarasota area.
Our goal is to showcase youth creativity through strengthening and creating symbiotic relationships between local organizations and businesses in an effort to offer unique, diversified exhibitions and experiences.
Lasting Impacts
Through our Citywide Family Workshops program, we have the potential to make real and positive impacts. We believe that the act of building or creating as a group/community is essential to building long lasting empathetic bonds that transcend social, cultural, and economic differences.
Maintaining and highlighting this philosophy is one of our key areas of focus here at Creative Kids SRQ, and a source of much success for our Nonprofit Organization.
Providing Opportunity
Creative Kids SRQ is dedicated to putting our community first. Our volunteer and internship programs provide a much-needed service for those looking to play a hands on role in the nonprofit landscape here in Sarasota. Join our efforts today.
We aim to broaden perceptions of “working in the arts” as both a hobby and a potential career. When you support CKSRQ, you also aid in providing opportunities for artists, art educators, and future nonprofit administrators to gain the experience they need to forge their own paths to success.
