K-8 Create
K-8 Create is an arts education program serving thousands of school children across the north-central Oregon Coast, offering free arts and STEAM education through rural Title 1 schools where arts access is limited.
The Goal
K-8 Create is closing the arts education gap for thousands of rural Oregon youth
K-8 Create was developed in response to a community-driven need for arts access. By addressing barriers unique to rural Oregon, K-8 Create seeks to close gaps in arts education along the coast and statewide—empowering the next generation of creative thinkers and makers.
