Empowered Creatives Project

Our team were some pretty cute kids, right? Now we bring arts and music workshops into our communities hoping to improve access for the arts! 🎨

We had such a great time at our final set of graphic score workshops with ! Thank you to Breakthrough for welcoming us and allowing us to guide your students through all sorts of creative endeavors. What a perfect end to our Spring season!

Empowered Creatives brings creative workshops into our communities 🎨

We partner with incredible organizations across Chicago, like , , and , as well as organizations in Indianapolis and Cleveland, to deliver accessible art and music experiences. Creativity is for everyone, and we’re proud to play a role in the process. Your support helps us bring these workshops to even more people. If you’d like to help expand our reach, you can donate and help us make an impact in our communities!

Do you think everyone deserves access to the arts?🎨

Do you think that participation in the arts creates valuable opportunity for self-expression and community building?💃🏼

Are our nightly rituals finally causing you to feel an unexplained urge to donate to our organization?👹

If you answered ✨yes✨ to any of these questions, we would love your support!

We’re out here making music WITH people, not just FOR them - because everyone deserves to have their artistic voice heard. Every donation, share, and shoutout helps us get closer to our fundraising goal.

With your support, we can bring our workshops to communities and organizations that we would not otherwise be able to reach. Everyone deserves the opportunity to express themselves through music and art, regardless of prior experience or training.

We recently returned to to continue with our storytelling and graphic score workshops! We can’t wait to back in May for our final set of workshops for the school year!

We love our partnership with ! This time we worked with their Senior Leadership team. We presented a graphic score workshop focusing on team building and strengthening team dynamics. They took into account their team’s core values and created graphic scores that encompassed them.

Thanks ucan for having us, we can’t wait to come back!

Last week we went to to do a new graphic score workshop that focused on team building and group improv. The orchestra worked together to create and perform their own musical compositions. We can’t wait to come back this week to present a brand new workshop! Thank you MYO for having us!

Last week, we continued our work with staff in a graphic score workshop with the employees of the Victim Advocacy Support Program. Victim Advocates provide comfort and emotional support for victims of domestic violence and other violent crime.

In this workshop, we combined graphic score creation with discussion of the Victim Advocates team’s core values. Then, they collaborated to make a series of graphic scores that encompass their team values.

It was so exciting to see their core values translated into art and music! We can’t wait to come back!

More graphic score workshops at ! This past week we presented our graphic score workshop to several different youth programs at UCAN.

Thank you to for sponsoring this project!

We are so grateful to have been able to return to ! This time around we had the opportunity to work with UCAN program leadership. During our graphic score workshop, UCAN employees had the chance to compose original music that told their individual stories.

We also want to give a big thank you to for sponsoring this project!
