CREATE ·2023 Grants ChallengeUntold Stories of the Harbor
Our vision is to create professional large-scale murals that restore and preserve some of the largely untold stories of our collective history in the Harbor Area. Our goals and expected outcomes are to create an outdoor art show in a free, public, accessible, inclusive space that helps educate, inform, impact, and inspire all who see it. The location is a highly-visible free public park-and-ride parking lot underneath the 110 freeway. There are eight pillars that hold up the freeway and each pillar will feature a mural of a different story.

Empowering Community by Inspiring Creative Action
Our youth programming initiative is aimed to empower personal growth and inspire creative action through personalized skateboard coaching, action sports photography, and short-form documentary video content. Helping youth learn these sets of skills and gain confidence through creative expression can create incredible social impact and develop pathways for future employment. We care about creating a safe space that promotes belonging, inclusion and improving the well-being of the next generation.
