Cultivating radical kindess through creative expression.
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 critical 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.

“...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

- facilitating creative experiences for all, regardless of experience, means or access.
